If you are not familiar with COS, it's a subsidiary of H&M. However, COS has quality apparel, with…read moremodern, clean lines and are well tailored. Unfortunately, they just have shops in Europe. Boo! Anyways, this is my favorite COS because the selection is good and the customer service is excellent. The staff are friendly and attentive to your needs.

COS, A store that I usually love(and still do). However, I visited your this avenue Louise Store…read moretoday, The selection of clothes is fantastic, massive store, but one thing... the cashier was rude, Letting another woman pass in front of me for literally no reason because she was queuing at the next till. When It got to my turn, He was snotty and tried to overcharge me... Then he was about to hand me my trousers like that if I hadn't asked for a bag. Maybe it's me being oversensitive but I don't think it's acceptable customer service considering I was polite and in a good mood...

Insulting! Nice…read moreshop, good concept, lots of choice of styles and fabrics and high degree of customisation on a made-to-measure approach. Prices are not cheap but not over the top either. Staff friendly and helpful in choosing. The problem came afterwards... When we went for fitting my husbands (formal) trousers were clearly too short. Not just a bit on the short-side but comedy short. It is not normal to be able to see a man's socks when wearing formal trousers - despite the shop person being adamant that the trousers were fine, not too short. After us pointing out in as polite a way as possible that we would prefer them a bit longer, they said that they would lengthen a bit but the cut of the trousers (?) meant that it was not possible to lengthen more than a cm or so ( - it transpires later that they haven't left much hem to be able to lengthen... ) Second fitting still too short (although socks now covered). We ask can they be lengthened another 2 cms and are told that that would be far too long and that it would look ridiculous and that it is the fashion to have them a bit shorter - the absolute front of the woman! (Remember, these are formal trousers ...). Trying not to lose it we explain that this is not a fashion that we wish to follow on this occasion so please just make them a bit longer or we want new trousers if their is insufficient material in the hem. This is truly the worst service I have ever experienced (and I've been in Belgium for 10 years). Whether you agree with the customer or not - it is generally not a good idea to call them an unfashionable idiot. And if you make a mistake at the begining just fess up and let's see how we can work to fix it. Needless to say never going back there again.

Café Costume is a gentlemen's tailor in the heart of Bruxelles' artistic and fashion district. CC…read moredoes not do off the rack - only tailor made. And booking an appointment is necessary. There is little use in walking in on good luck. And it takes a while to get from picking up the phone to picking up your suit. Say about two months. But it's worth it. The ambience of the store is very nice, although it borrows from the popular hipster aesthetics. Think men with moustaches. At any rate, the staff is professional and really wants you to get the best suit for the best price they can offer, which depends on the fabric. They'll help you get a fit that suits your physique best. Once you pick the fit and the fabric you can customise pretty much everything, from the buttons to your initials on the inside and to the interior lining. The same goes for shirts. There was a mishap with the shirt I ordered, in the sense that the attendant's hand writing was difficult to read and I got the wrong collar. (Think Joe Pesci in Goodfellas - 70's style.) Once I pointed this out, they were fortunately very professional and offered to make the shirt with the right collar for free. Sure, you pay for quality. But if you want a top notch tailor made suit without the stuffiness that you might expect from others, this is the place to go.

Great store! One of…read morethe first stops on my trip down Rue Neuve. I would probably equate the styles here with something out of Ann Taylor Loft. Casual with a variety of work options/coordinates. Men's items are located on the second floor. I purchased two pullovers because I liked the kimono sleeves and two items from the accessories section. Good customer service.
