The Replacements
The Stand-In Senator. "'I just went to the Men's Wearhouse. . . so at least I'll have two suits and a toothbrush when I get to Washington." By Interview by David Wallis.
Besides being a pretty cool interview, I found it kind of ammusing that the headline is a free ad for The Men's Wearhouse. Let me also say that it is a great place to buy a suit, and I can't say enough about their customer service. It's quite frankly, in a word, amazing.
Kat and I were headed to a wedding back east. It wasn't going to be a California hippy wedding, so I needed a good suit. Off we went to the mall in Sacramento. We checked all the usual places like Macy's and Structure. All of them were way too much for our budget at the time. So we hit The Men's Wearhouse. The staff knew that I had no idea what to get, so they laid out an entire spread of suits, shirts, and belts. All I had to do was say, "that one, that one, and that one," and we were all done, except that the suit needed to be altered and we were leaving for San Francisco. "No problem," they said. "You can have the suit altered at our store on Market Street."
In the end, I ended up going to four stores. One to buy the suit, one to have it altered, a store in King of Prussia to have it pressed after the flight, and one in San Rafael to have it cleaned when I got back.
Kat was very jealous because, apparently, women's clothing stores don't have anything that approaches this level of customer service.
