I stopped in this super touristy store on my way to the Alamo. It's filled to the brim with Mexican…read moretrinkets. Anything you could possibly want to buy can be found here. Sombrero hats, shoes, Mexican dresses, toys, the list goes on. Be careful about the stairs; they are rather steep. I love how the signs tell you to keep your children with you. There is also another sign telling you that you cannot try on the shoes. I asked the salesgirl about it, and she said that they had lots of people coming in to try on the shoes, but not buying any. And then people who actually bought the shoes would come back saying that the shoes smelled like feet from all the people who had tried on the pair of shoes previously. True story, swear to God. I guess tourists have stinky feet! I was looking for a souvenir for myself. Warned about the shoes, I actually was looking to get either a Mexican blouse or dress as I had seen several gorgeous ones during my stay in San Antonio. The salesgirl was great in helping me pick out one, and even better yet, offered a discount if I paid in cash. Done. Best yet, after visiting Market Square, I noted that this store's clothes prices were indeed less expensive than the stores on Market Square. Same merchandise, different prices. I don't know how the other merchandise stacked up, but it does pay to shop around.

I asked him to customize the shirt I was buying and he did so as I requested. Lots of great selections and if he didn't have the size, he would just make it for you and Chip it just like he did for me. If san Antonio were to elect an informal mayor of the downtown business district, I would vote for Javier!

Javier and his team nailed it!…read more The store itself is an experience but the product speaks for itself. Very high quality, one-of-a-kind products that are absolutely memorable. I was able to give lots of input on my redesigned guayabera. Let me explain... We walked by the store about a year ago and my wife saw me starting in the window. She eventually went back and purchased a shirt off of the rack for my birthday. It was a very cool shirt, but the design was not for me. Luckily, Javier allowed us to bring it in and pick a new shirt to customize, which is exactly what I did! And for no extra cost! My one of a kind Guayabera was the talk of a recent event I went to. It's stunning and unique, and most certainly walking art. I cannot say enough about how much I love this shirt and the overall experience I had working with Javier. He is an artist and it shows! Highly recommend!

I had an amazing experience with Penner's when I needed a suit for my upcoming wedding…read more When you first walk into Penner's you immediately get the impression of a store that knows exactly what it is doing, and trying to be. There is history all over the walls, and you can see this is a beloved family run institution. That immediately made me feel good. Everyone in the store is also extremely friendly and helpful, the service is top notch. I had signed up for an appointment for a fitting, and I had a very specific suit color in mind (dark hunter green). I knew this wasn't the most common color for a suit, and I was a little nervous because I've never been through the tailoring experience before. Matt came over and walked me through everything, he helped me pick out not only the suit that is perfect for what I was looking for but he also helped me find a shirt, tie, belt and shoes. He was with me every step of the way. My suit had to be ordered and altered since it's not a common off the rack color, the team at Penner's kept in touch with me the whole time. I never had any doubt that I was in good hands, and any questions I had were answered fully. The price for everything was also extremely fair in my opinion. I fully endorse Penner's if you're looking for suits, clothes, shoes or anything else wearable. There's a big selection, and it's not just suits they also have just about anything for men's wear. A great selection, and a family owned business. I feel very fortunate to have Penner's in town and I will be back!

I stopped by Paris Hatters recently to look for a Stetson Open Road in Silverbelly. After standing…read morein the store for a few minutes without being acknowledged, I mentioned up front that I likely needed a larger size and asked if they had any in stock. I was told they didn't have any and wouldn't for several months. I then asked if I could be measured to at least get a sense of my size for future reference, but was told they don't measure because "all hats are different." I also asked about the possibility of ordering one, but received the same response that nothing would be available for months. I understand that inventory can be limited, especially for popular styles and larger sizes. That part didn't bother me. What was surprising was the lack of engagement--no sizing, no discussion of fit, and no guidance on ordering or alternatives. Given Paris Hatters' long-standing reputation in San Antonio, I was expecting a more hands-on and informative experience. This felt more like a quick dismissal than a customer interaction. I may try again another time, but this visit didn't reflect the level of service I had heard so much about.
