Great service, outstanding prices and courteous staff. I sent my two twin nephews in for their Graduation and they and their mom were very pleased with the choices even their grumpy dad (my brother) was impressed.

When I 14 I had my first chance to have Mr Bank fit me in his store in Baltimore. This was a big thing in 1959. It was a sign, my brothers had been doing this for the last several years, I was passing to manhood. We would pick out material and he would take me upstairs where he would measure me then pull out his wooden patterns, trace them out, make my suit and ship it to me in Northern Va. This impressed me so much, that I still bought from him the next 50 years.
Then in 2002 I went to a Jos Bank in Lafayette La and got the worst fitting suit I have ever seen, I told them the alterations were horrible and they said as much as ** you. So I did not buy from Jos Banks for ten years, but I saw an sale ad where I could buy sale merchandise for less than $ 20.00 dollars each, so I ordered 3 shirts and two pair of shorts. Order was confirmed on internet, but then got message order canceled. Was this a come on to get you to buy higher price stuff or what. I promise the Mr Bank I grew up to know would never have allowed this to happen to one of his valued customers. John **

Not sure what is going on with these guys, but it’s frustrating. I probably spent 30 minutes shopping for the right clothing. I submitted my order and got a confirmation saying it was good to go. About 36 hours later I got an email saying the order was cancelled. No explanation, no offer for a % discount for my next purchase, nothing. Pretty frustrating for a company I used to love. Anyone know of a good replacement company with quality wrinkle-free dress shirts? I’d sure love to replace these guys in my life!

I wish there is less than one star to give. Poor Quality and poor customer service. After second time wear their product there is too much lint on it and looks very poor quality and I tried another one is the same after second use. The brands I use is Traveler Sweater and 1905 Collection. Moreover I thought the customer service will be very caring about customer experience but I was wrong.. They don't care. I do not recommend that product to anyone. It is waste money.

I went to the store because they had belts on sale. After a little while the guy got disgusted helping me cuz I was looking for things on sale. He just didn't want to fool with me so finally I called into customer service and they help me find for belts that were on sale. One belt was in the store three belts I had to order. The guy was ringing me out checking me out. He said, "You want them shipped to your house". I said, "Sure. Is there any extra fee for that". He goes, "No".
Well I got my bill and looked at it today and it was $8 shipping. I don't care about the $8. It's $2 per belt actually. More than that because it says shipping only three belts. I just don't like being lied to or having incompetency. The customer service is non-existent non-existent. They kept referring me back to the store. "You got to go back to the store". Well it start with never answer the phone. Nobody at the store will answer the phone so customer service said, "You got to go in the store. You got to go in the store". Well what about corporate. What about this one right there. They're dismantling businesses are dismantling. Businesses are getting rid of their stock. They're getting rid of their supply lines, are getting rid of their product lines. Customers going to suffer. Do not do not give these businesses. You are my you'll have too much trouble trying to get it back.

My husband and I were treated horrible. Were going to be buying several shirts but were treated like we weren't worth helping. We did have on Jeans and t shirts because we had been shopping all day. The guy first said hello and walked past us then eventually asked if we needed help. Honestly acted like he would rather be anywhere else. We had just a few questions, acted annoyed. Because his size is a little bigger than average seemed like he didn't even want to help us. Finally he showed us what he had and then acted like we should just take his word for the fit. My husband asked if he could try one on and the guy actually sighed really loud. Then said I guess. It was so rude I have never been treated so poorly. Decided to just leave and go somewhere else.

My husband was looking for a black suit for our daughter's wedding. The lady there was very helpful. I liked how she brought us different shirts and ties to see which ones looked better with the suit. We ended up buying a blue suit, 2 shirts, 2 ties and a pair of shoes. I never thought my husband would buy a blue suit and brown shoes, he’s always goes for black suit and black shoes. After Marian showed us the things that are in “style”, we were convinced to buy something we would have never bought without her help. We had never been treated so nice, she treated us like we were celebrities. She was very professional, nice and sweet at the same time, she’s just the best. I truly recommend the store, especially Marian M. Sherbetjian. If you need good clothes, comfortable shoes and great help go to Jos. A. BANK at The Collection at Riverpark in Oxnard, Ca shopping center in Oxnard, Ca.

I went to the store to purchase new clothes for a wedding. I asked the younger gentleman where I could find what I was looking for. He walked me over to the part of the store where what I was interested in was, pointed to them, and then walked away. He started looking and texting on his phone. I looked at my wife, we both shook our heads in disbelief and walked out of the store. I’ll never ever go back. There’s plenty of other places to spend my money!

Worst experience in my history of ordering online! Will never buy anything from this clueless people ever again. Ordered a Christmas gift on Dec 2. 3 weeks go by and they have no idea where my order is. They reissued a refulfillment and assured me it would be here on time for Christmas, well it wasn’t! Now they’re saying I get it on Dec 27th. Stay out of the retail market, you have no idea what you’re doing! Customers should take their businesses elsewhere. This place is a joke!

About a month ago, I ordered a sweater for my dad from JoS A Bank. Weeks went by and he had not received it, and then I got an email saying they received my returned purchase and would give me a refund. We never got the sweater, so we couldn't have returned it. I called and the associate told me Fed Ex lost the package and Jos A Bank would just refund the purchase. I asked him to just send the sweater again. He assured me it would be rushed delivered, free of charge, within three days. Another week went by. No sweater. I then received an email asking me to review the sweater - which we still hadn't seen!
I called again and was on hold for over 20 minutes. A new associate tells me the sweater was refunded even though I told them last week I wanted a replacement, not a refund. He tells me he will replace the sweater and have it rush delivered (sound familiar?). It is now two days before Christmas and I still have no idea if my dad will be getting his gift on time, if at all. What I do know is that I will not be ordering from Jos A Bank ever again. Clearly, they have some systemic issues to work out if they want to save their business. Getting emails saying one thing, associates saying another, and virtually no clear communication volunteered without me having to hunt it down is more than enough to dissuade me from wasting my time with this company in the future. You can have the nicest associates in the world, but if problems like these persist it won't make a difference. Zero stars.

First of all, I ordered (and paid for) monogramming. Didn't get it. Also, their shirts are virtually all, save one button-down, "non-iron." Well guess what, I don't want non-iron. Get some normal shirts **. On the pro side, the order was promptly shipped and the shirts were all the correct ones that I ordered...

Went to buy a suit, they didn't have my size. They instead sold me a sport coat and pants. I selected a coat and pants, then I was told it was a buy one get one free. I chose a second coat and pants. The second choice would take longer to pick up. I was charged over $700. I picked up my first choice and today went to pick up my second choice. All I received was the coat. They told me they never charged me for the pants. I was extremely upset. I will never go back. This was the downtown Houston store.

This company has the worst online service I have ever encountered. I must have placed 10 orders from their almost weekly sales and every time I get an "order canceled" email within a week of placing the order. When I call to find out why I get a whole bunch of different excuses. They are running a scam. IF I COULD I WOULD GIVE THEM ZERO STARS.

Purchased a pair of shoes on sale at josbank.com. They charged my credit card then two days later, I received a cancellation notice with no explanation. Really??? When I contacted them, they claimed that they ran out of inventory since my order. They would not work with me to provide a comparable replacement. They admitted it was their inventory error, but couldn't care less the impact on the customer. Why shop with a brand that treats people this way? I know I won't be shopping with them again. Buyer beware.

I ordered two suits online and they cancelled both orders without explanation or notice. They lowered the price after the first cancellation to induce me to order it again and then subsequently cancelled that order. They gave me some ridiculous reason for the cancellation and tried to get me to order it a third time. I don’t know what policy they use to incentivize their employees, but it appears to be a scam to boost their sale numbers. It was by far the worst customer service experience I’ve ever encountered, and I will never shop at this store ever again.

The store visited was located in Midlothian,VA. Our salesperson was rude and condescending. Only one style of jacket was offered and only in colors/fabrics he deemed appropriate. I was dissuaded to engage in the shopping experience, as only he knew what was fashionable. Interaction with this salesperson was terse and uncomfortable. Too bad as we had multiple items to buy. I'll never revisit a JoS A. Bank store. Please consider shopping anywhere else.

Saratoga Springs, NY is a very busy and popular place to be at all times of the year especially on Broadway where all the shops are. An employee of JoS. A. Bank was obviously having a bad day and took it out on an elderly man that was sitting on a bench in front of the store. He spit in his face and used some very unnecessary language with this gentleman. Not sure of what had happened prior to what was witnessed and what was captured on video, this employee did not hold his part in representing this company to full standards. In the video it shows the employee tearing off his jacket as if he was going to fight the gentleman on the side walk & spit in his face yelling at him with obscenities. I will not recommend this store to anyone visiting our city. What a disgrace!

About eight weeks ago, I visited the Joseph Banks store in Asheville North Carolina at their store in Biltmore Village. I have been a loyal Joseph A Banks customer for nearly thirty years, so I felt very comfortable visiting this store in such a historic setting - hoping for a similar experience with the Banks store located in Chevy Chase Maryland. Unfortunately for me, this store seems to have forgotten about providing great customer service. It started when I selected two pairs of beautiful pants. The only requirement was to hem the bottoms and order my size. Did not seem to be a very tall order, but I had a meeting out of town coming up, so it I was certain that they could meet my timeline. They told me that they would order the pants and call me when they arrived. About two weeks later, I noticed that no one had called me, so I called them.
They informed me that the pants were in, and I drove to the store (about a fifteen minute drive) only to find out that only a single pair of pants had come in, and they would follow up and let me know when the second pair arrived so that I could have them altered as well. They measured me for the first pair, and told me that they would be ready in about a week and that they would call me when ready. About one week later, I called (still no call from Banks), and they told me that it might be a few more days. A few days later, I called (still no call from Banks), and they told me that the other pants were in. When I arrived, I tried on the pants - way too short and I asked them to lengthen them by 1/2".
After a quick re-do, they told me that they did not have to measure for the other pants because they would simply alter them to the first pair measurements, and that they would call me when ready. Still no call from Banks. It has now been eight weeks since my first visit, and I went back to the store to try on the second pair of pants. Much to my dismay, they were much too short again! My wife thought that this was a joke. My patience was wearing thin, so I asked them simply to refund my money, that I would keep just the first pair. The manager told me that since they had already altered the pants, that he would not be able to give me a refund. Give me a break - how hard is it to hem pants. They had already inconvenienced me and should have simply allowed me to go.
I mentioned to the manager that perhaps there was a problem with the tailor, that perhaps she simply was incompetent. He looked at me like I was from another planet, and told me his shop was not incompetent. It seems that measuring and altering two pairs of pants four times is routine and not incompetence. I disagree. I've now escalated my issue with the regional manager. I'm curious to see how he can explain that visiting a store four times is great customer service and that I'm out of line. It is really a shame. I love the traveler line of shirts and everything that I have purchased through the years have worn well and were at a fair price. I'm hoping that this regional manager (William **) can resolve my issue. Four trips to pick up two pairs of pants is three trips too many. I wonder if the new owners (Men's Warehouse) has something to do with my disappointing experience.

I had $3,000 to spend on a wardrobe upgrade. A cash gift from my three children for my 50th birthday. My youngest daughter accompanied me and we asked for help in selecting clothing. The salesman was curt, rude, and his disposition made us leave the store in disgust. We went a couple of miles down the road to Men’s Warehouse and left with a carload of fine suits, shirts, and pants. My daughter wanted to return to Jos Bank and shove the Men’s Warehouse receipt in the dispiriting salesman face. I choose not to meet him at his immature level and went to Mrs. Storys for some chili dogs instead.

I bought a few items from the RYE NY location on Purchase St. I left the store and when I got home I realized that the shirts were the wrong size. I called the store a few minutes before they closed and told them that I can be there in a couple of minutes for exchange. I mentioned that I had a very important meeting in the morning and was traveling and could not get there at 10am the next morning due to my schedule. The salesperson said he could not help me because they were closing in a couple of minutes. I asked to speak to the Manager. When Luis the manager came to the phone he also said he could not help and to return the following day.
I told him that I will come back the next day only to return the items I purchased due to their lack of empathy towards a customer's needs. His reply was repulsive. He said "Ya see now sir... THAT'S A THREAT! You ARE THREATENING ME." I cannot believe his response to me. Rye seems to be a very nice neighborhood. These two guys working in there are not the type of people I would expect to work at your store. Rude after the sale PERIOD. And visible tattoos on the hands are unwelcoming. What are your on boarding procedures at JoS. A. Bank? Oh wait. You have none. I will never do business at any location. The customer is the most valuable asset and you failed miserably to help my situation that could have been very easily taken care of with a more sophisticated salesperson.

Never ever ever ever use JoS. A. Bank for your wedding!!!! I went through JoS. A. Bank to rent tuxedos for my wedding. We had 4 tuxedos total - all 4 were measured at different stores and sent to 1 location for pick up. First we were misquoted the price of the tuxes and when my groomsmen went to go get theirs fitted and paid they were being asked to pay 50$ more than what I was told. This is what prompted me to call the JoS. A. Bank that we set everything up with to complain about this problem - good thing we made that phone call because I found out that day that my groom's tux that was fitted months prior was "incomplete" because we hadn't made payment. I was told at the time of fitting we could pay that at pick up and it would be sent to the store - now I am being told that's not the case. You need to leave at least a deposit.
If I hadn't called that day my groom wouldn't have had a tux!!! So I paid for it - verified all of the information to make sure everything was correct and all tuxes would go where they were supposed to - they made up the difference in the misquoted price and I thought everything was good and done. The time comes to pick up the tuxes - I have traveled out of state at this point as well as all of my groomsmen so we don't have much wiggle room for error, but you would think a reputable tux company would be able to get things right. My groom's shoes were the wrong size. A groomsmen's shirt was fitted completely wrong - weird part is the entire thing was fitted right except the sleeves were like half the length - you could just look at the shirt and tell something wasn't right. My dad's pants were way too long and they got my dad the wrong bow tie.
When I called about the bow tie they said they would get a new bow tie in "a day or two" - well I don't have two days and was originally told if there were any problems we could get them resolved by next day. So she talks to some people and calls me back and says, "Okay it will be in tomorrow." So I go pick up replacement shoes for my groom and to get the bow tie for my dad. Now I'm being told the bow tie is not in and they can't tell me when it will be (wedding is tomorrow at this point). So they get a bunch of bow ties that might work - they pull out the vest color that supposedly my dad ordered and I pick a bow tie that should work. Yea turns out they were having me compare it to the wrong vest color also so no- the bow tie did not work and we just had to deal with it.
This is a freaking wedding people. It is not that difficult to get this information correct the first time. These were a bunch of little mistakes that never should have happened. I will make sure everyone I know never ever ever uses JoS. A. Bank for an important event. I am so livid and will work on figuring out who up the chain I need to complain to because this was completely unacceptable and added a huge amount of stress to an already stressful week.

I had high expectations for JoS. A. Bank when we decided to use them for our wedding on 04/13/2019 for groomsmen tux rentals. Everything seemed to be fine until TWO days before the wedding. As everyone knows, weddings are incredibly stressful and the last thing a bride and groom want to hear is that all tux orders are wrong (wrong color shirts, wrong sizes, etc). My husband and his groomsmen had to call corporate several times to get the issue resolved. I will say, the corporate hotline was helpful in resolving the issue but the fact is, we shouldn’t have had to deal with this major stress right before our wedding.
At one point, a sales rep told a groomsmen he was going to be “out of luck” regarding getting his correct order. Out of luck? For a wedding? What kind of answer is that? Needless to say we were all panicking and running around trying to fix all the mistakes (one groomsmen had to purchase, instead of rent, his tux because they ordered the rental 3 sizes too big and couldn’t tailor the rental). In conclusion, please don’t use them for your wedding unless you are fully prepared to be scrambling and stressed the days before. With all that being said, the quality seemed fine once they actually corrected every order.
