Men’s Wearhouse was founded in the early 1970’s by George Zimmer. The very first store opened in Houston, Texas and by the late 1990’s this company was operating numerous stores from coast to coast. Men’s Wearhouse is committed to offering customers the highest quality professional clothing at affordable prices including expert tailoring, perfect fit and outstanding service which makes this brand truly stand out among some of its competitors. My husband was given a fabulous opportunity to put this commitment to the test…
We recently visited our local Men’s Wearhouse store. As we entered, we were warmly greeted and immediately given one-on-one assistance. Men’s Wearhouse wants to be your clothier for life and with such immediate and great service we understand why this company has been so successful in forming real relationships with its customers.
We met one of the store managers and he gave us a brief overview of the Men’s Wearhouse philosophy. He was so knowledgeable and informative. My husband and I knew any question would be answered accurately and honestly about the store, the clothing and the brand itself. And so, the Men’s Wearhouse experience began. First, the store manager properly measured my husband for a comfortable fitting…
He then started to select some suit jackets for my husband to try on. Based on what my husband was looking for in terms of color, style and cut, the store manger selected various suit jackets in different colors, cuts and styles that he thought would be a perfect match for my husband…
And after a few tries, my husband actually had a hard time choosing! They all looked perfect on him! But when he finally found the one, he knew it was the “right” look for him. And since we had our son with us, the store manager didn’t want him to feel left out so he grabbed a suit jacket especially designed for children and helped him to look just like Daddy. My son was thrilled!
“A future Men’s Wearhouse client…”
So, after my husband chose the perfect suit jacket the store manager grabbed the matching pants and my husband was off to his official fitting at the back of the store. An expert tailor came out to accurately customize the suit to fit my husband’s body. Once his fitting was complete, we then met with the store manage again at the front of the store to review all of the other suit options. This included various shoes, shirts, ties and accessories. The store manager worked with us to pick and choose that perfect “look” that my husband was going for. Each option was laid out on the table with an explanation and things to think about…
This is what you call excellent service. The store manager was there to answer all of our questions and provide sound advice, especially when we couldn’t make a decision on our own! And in the end, my husband looked awesome.

The other reason I am so excited to share this post with you is because Men’s Wearhouse is hosting the third annual National Suit Drive during the month of September.
Men’s Wearhouse is partnering with over 200 nonprofit organizations across the country and during this event, every Men’s Wearhouse and Men’s Wearhouse & Tux stores will act as drop off locations for used professional clothing. This drive will provide men in need with the appropriate professional attire to transition back into the workforce. For many of these men in crisis, the clothing they receive from this National Suit Drive will give them a boost in confidence. Simply knowing that they will be appropriately dressed will assist them as they embark on the road to new opportunities.
Men’s Wearhouse knows that this kind of impact made by helping these men will in turn affect their families and communities in a positive way. Clothing donations collected from every Men’s Wearhouse store is then directed to local nonprofit organizations. To find a non-profit near you benefitting from National Suit Drive, click here:

So not only is this a company my husband will visit again and again based on this amazing experience, but this is a company we can both proudly say is living up the their commitment and full expectations: offering customers the highest quality professional clothing at affordable prices including expert tailoring, perfect fit and outstanding service. In addition, this is the kind of company that is hosting a National Suit Drive to give back to those who need it most – and really, what’s better than that?
Theta Mom was contacted by Men’s Wearhouse and provided a $750 trade certificate to shop at Men’s Wearhouse in exchange for publishing a piece about the Men’s Wearhouse experience. These are my own, honest opinions reflective of my husband’s experience from a recent visit to our local Men’s Wearhouse store.
We used Men’s Warehouse for our wedding and were very happy with their service. Looks like you had the same experience. Don’t your men look husband in their new suits!
Tina,
Yes – it was a wonderful experience. I would recommend them to any man looking for quailty and service! And I love my man in a good suit! 😉
Looks like an awesome place to shop for Men’s clothes. I have never been in one, will have to check it out next time I am near one.
It was so awesome Sara! And they also sell jeans and casual clothes in addition to being known for their suits. Thanks for your comment!
Great post, gotta love that one-on-one customer service! It’s so great when big businesses step-up to help out others, I hope that the National Suite Drive is very successful!
Manda,
That’s I think what I loved most about this experience – they are a company that believes in forming relationships with their customers and clearly, they are giving back to the commnity!
My husband has two suits from there. They were really helpful and the suits have worn really well.
Looks like you had a good experience and both your “boys” look great in their jackets.
Thanks Metro DC Mom! It was truly a wonderful experience and they lived up to all of their expectations. I would highly recommend them to any man in search of excellent service and quality! Thanks for your comment.
We used them for our wedding and everything went perfectly!
Yes, we were really impressed with the experience!!
Dave (my husband) recently bought a suit…and he loves it! He doesn’t like to wear them all the time (he doesn’t have too), but when he needs to…he now has a great suit that looks good on him!!
Stephanie,
Don’t you just love that! Did he buy it at Men’s Wearhouse? We were both very impresed with the entire experience. And who doesn’t love her man in a good suit? 😉
He did! We were happy with the experience! We will def. be going back when he needs a new one!
Hubby used MWH for our small wedding. They were awesome there!
We had the same, awesome experience!
I love going to places with old-school sales folk who understand the meaning of establishing relationships. It’s a dying art.
My Guy has been to a MWH and he loves it there. As a people person, having a sales person who’s helpful, friendly and knowledgeable definitely sold him on the suit more than the suit itself.
Exactly!! They really are a company who has built a reputation on excellent service and forming relationships with their customers – it’s what we think sets them apart from other competitors!
We have not used Men’s Warehouse, but now I think we just might! I love that they put such an effort into the experience and are all about creating an environment that encourages returning. Many of the places that we shop for my husband simply ring up the sale with minimal assistance or communication (not always a fun shopping experience!) I love that they give back too- we are much more inclined to shop places that contribute to the community.
Ashley,
I have to be honest, in the past my husband purchased suits from Macy’s and the service was terrible and the alterations were not great either! There really is no “customer service” at such big department stores anymore. Men’s Wearhouse prides themselves of being a leader in this industry, showing that they value their customer’s business – and they do that through excellent service. Thanks so much for the comment!!
I wish we had one here. My hubs needs a new suit so badly. Now if only a beautiful dress shop would contact you for the same service. Wouldn’t that be great?
That would be great! lol And I do wish for you that you had a Men’s Wearhouse in Canada – they really are awesome! Thanks so much for your comment.
My husband gets his suits from Men’s Wearhouse, and the staff here is great too! They also have great deals every now and then.
Yes Nora! The staff was so helpful!
My husband has gotten suits there and they were really nice. The service was excellent to. Your husband and son look dapper in their suit jackets! What a wonderful event to. It is definitely a great way to help others land on their feet.
Joy,
That’s what I love so much about this suit drive – knowing another person will perhaps land a job because of it – that’s empowering!!
We’ve never been but your review is great and it seems like a great company! I love companies that give back. Also – your big and little men look great!
Thanks mama! Yes, this is totally a company that lives up to its name and firmly believes in establishing real relationship with customers!
My husband just bought his first ever real suit (yes, I understand that he’s probably a little past due in this regard.) And we bought it from Men’s Wearhouse. It was amazing. They totally understood my husband’s style, and even my overly casually Hubster was excited about how he looked.
We had the same experience!! They are certainly a company that live up to their expectations.
My husband loves the Men’s Wearhouse. And I love this community service project they do. Time to clean out the closet. Thanks for the post and the information.
I love that about this company, too! Thanks so much for the comment and so glad you enjoyed the info!!
Your son is adorable. You have a beautiful fam, Theta Mommy!
Thanks Anthony!! It was a great and fun experience for both of my boys.
Hubba Hubba hubby! He looks so sharp and your son looks adorable! We have had wonderful experiences with The Men’s Wearhouse, superior service all the way.
Thanks mama! Yes, we were so impressed with Men’s Wearhouse!
It is always nice to find a company that goes the extra mile! If you are looking for a women’s clothing store that has the same attitude, I have had great experiences with Coldwater Creek. They treat you with great respect, ask your first name, start a dressing room for you, get different sizes or colors, etc. You just don’t get that at many places any more, at least not in places that I can afford, lol!
Bernice
I agree Bernice! Any major department store just doesn’t give you this kind of service. Thanks for the recommendation!
