They mostly have suits, pants, and blazers for men, but they do have a small selection of businessy clothes for women. They also have a sale section where items are marked down as far as 60%, which is where David found his white pinstriped suit. Our salesperson was very helpful. He told us that suit rules are made to be broken. If David wanted no cuffs with a pleated pant, that was absolutely fine. He also pinned David's jacket saying men usually wore their sleeves too long and made the suit look a lot better. They also have a comfy couch and fashion magazines in case you are waiting on someone.

November 19 UPDATE: Thuy,…read more I saw your message. Your employee assured me that her position and communication was supported by you and your store policy. Please reach out to me via email: dr.amariejohnson@gmail.com to resolve. With children and a busy career, I simply don't have time additional to invest in this issue. I expect a full refund. (Less the disrespect). ********* ******** *********** Just purchased a Columbia Fleece outer jacket for my teen son marked "clearance". Unbeknownst to me was that the jacket was missing the main zipper. Yes... the jacket had absolutely NO zipper with which to close out the cold. We discovered this only after I returned home & my 14yo son tried it on. I tried to return asking just for store credit. The store rep - Abby informed me they would not take back the jacket as it was marked "clearance". And that because their buyer "made a mistake" they marked it clearance (30% off original price). When I emphasized that I only wanted store credit and that I would gladly choose something else for my son. I suggested that if they were passing a "mistake" onto a customer, that they should do so with transparency and clearly mark the tag with a note indicating the items flaw, e.g. write "missing main zipper" on tag. Otherwise, I suggested, the omission smacks of deceit and is unethical. She seemed unconcerned. Abby & other employees said with a laugh, "we don't even know how to do that". Meaning they don't know how to do a store exchange. I couldn't help but notice an air of smugness when she said this. Abby was quite bodacious and loud as she exclaimed a refusal in front numerous customers. I felt humiliated and defeated. So they refused to accept the jacket back. Adding insult to injury, Abby offered to take the jacket and donate it! I am a seasoned shopper and loyal customer of Platos. We've purchased clothing for all 3 of my now teen kids for the past several years over the course of numerous growth spurts including a current growth spurt my 14 yo is now experiencing! I don't appreciate the disrespect nor the blatant disregard on full display for other customers to witness and perhaps intended as showcase. I'll simply have to take my business elsewhere. Luckily, there are numerous options for used clothing.

It's definitely pricey, which prevents me from shopping for the dudes in my life here often, but the styles and offerings are nice, well-crafted goods that seem worth the price point if you can afford it. They carry a variety of shirts, sweaters, hats, outerwear, sportswear, suits, scarves, etc. They even have a shoe shop across the way with beautiful looking leather loafers and the like. I admittedly haven't had a ton of experience with their service (haven't really had the need) so I can't comment on that, but it's nice to have this option in town if you need a fancy gift for a fashionable fella in your life.

Going into Dear Golden is like walking into a wearable museum. This is the nicest, classist, most tastefully curated vintage store I've been in. They also started doing more jewelry and home goods too which don't stay around long so I always see something new they have put out. I also like that the owner and Jasmine (love her) are never pushy or walking around trying to up sell me things they know don't fit quite right or don't match my hair. To the contrary, when I need any help they will whisk into the changing room to tie up that corset one more half inch if I give them a little wink. Finally, I love that they are extremely knowledgeable about the historical significance of the clothes and jewelry. They know all the top--and lesser known albeit important--designers of the various periods and they have encyclopedic breadth of why the clothes were designed and worn. With all the nice articles in there, makes me wonder what's in her storage...guess I'll just have to wait and come back soon.

I received it four days later! All the reviews about staff being snobby.... I don't understand at all.

Took a piece of blouse fabric here for tailoring. The end result was not at all what I expected…read more The blouse I got had the opening in the front when I requested the opening in the back. It had a crew neck instead of a boat neck. In general the fabric doesn't line up well. I had told them I need the blouse by the 25th, they scheduled getting it to me on the 22nd. No time to get it fixed. Now I need to find a different saree and blouse to wear. I'm giving it two stars because it does fit, but I would obviously never take something there for tailoring again. Very disappointed especially as this was an attached blouse piece with a handloom saree, so not possible to replace. They did give me a 20% discount.

There were two women there at first I was the only woman in the store and then another lady came in. I was asking for help as I knew specifically what I was looking for. They pointed to where I might find the Chatham pants. And when I could not find them they did come over to help. And then I wanted the same pants in black. They reluctantly helped. I would have bought another pair of pants but it was not in stock in my size and they would've had to order it online so I did not even bother. I believe one lady was Molly, but not positive on that and I don't know the other lady's name she had short gray hair. Very unprofessional, and caring and not interested in sales at all. I've never had an experience like that until this before..

Perhaps a slightly up-scale psychologist, counselor or social worker? Perhaps a woman who likes linen dresses in the summer, and likes interesting (but not fussy) clothing? In any of these cases, I'm picturing the ideal customer as between the age of 35 and 70. My mom falls somewhat into this category, and so I can see myself returning here to find something for her. The prices are a bit high, but honestly fairly reasonable when you look more carefully at the quality construction of the clothing and the more unique cuts/styles on offer. Ther's also a good selection of jewelry and some accessories -- hats, rather nice scarves, as well. So, even though it's not a place I would regularly pick up anything for myself -- it could be just the ticket for finding a special jacket, sweater, or accessory for a gift.

The socks also seem to wear well so they are worth the high price (compared to socks from Target).
