Visited Andrew Davis for the second and final time today. I went in sometime last year and to have some dress pants hemmed and they did a great job; very polite and professional, explained the whole process to me, and gave me a very reasonable price. However, I went in today to have another pair of dress pants hemmed and to see if they could "help me out" (my exact words to the gentleman that greeted me) with a hole in the back of some AE chino pants. As I was putting on my dress pants, the younger gentleman that greeted me asked his supervisor/manager about the chinos. I overheard the manager say that they are "not that kind of store" and if I was going to treat them like some "cut-rate sewing shop" (not his exact words, but something to that extent), that he "doesn't want that [kind of business] in the store." I decided to put my street clothes back on, exit the dressing room, explain to the manager that I wished to take my business elsewhere, and do exactly that. The manager l, instead of simply apologizing, attempted to defend himself and say "that's not what I meant."
Bottom line (tl;dr): I understand that Andrew Davis might not be willing to accept a job for clothing I didn't buy from them, but I would have greatly appreciated A) a recommendation for a reputable alteration shop, and B) to be politely treated like a customer.
I am very disappointed, as my first experience here was outstanding and I am fully supportive of supporting local businesses, but unfortunately, I will be taking my...
Read moreMacey and the Andrew Davis team exceeded all expectations on several levels. I cannot recommend strongly enough that anyone getting married in the Bloomington area should go with Andrew Davis, you will not be disappointed.
Bloomington was the location of our fall wedding due to the importance of location to both my wife and I, not necessarily because of the convenience of location. My large wedding party came in from all over the USA, from Seattle to Charlotte and from Milwaukee to Austin. Macey and the team made sure that all proper measurements were sent in on time, and we even called on their expertise to make adjustments in areas that the measurements did not add up.
More importantly, they enhanced the wedding day experience. My groomsmen, ushers, and I were able to get ready at Andrew Davis. Not only was the experience of getting ready there phenomenal but also it ensured that everyone looked the part and matched. There were several one-offs like dress socks and undershirts that people had forgotten and were able to conveniently purchase at Andrew Davis same day. I have been a part of several weddings that used the common big chain suit stores, but the service was not as good, the suits did not look as nice/did not fit and match as well, and the prices ended up being significantly higher after they made all altercations and changes.
Do yourself a favor when getting married in the Bloomington area and go with...
Read moreThe best place to shop for men's clothing in Bloomington! They have a ton of different selections and I'm so happy to have them help me for my wedding. Earlier this year I went there in search of suits for myself and the groomsmen party. John answered all of my questions/concerns and gave a lot of tips. After we made our selections he would stay in touch with me in the following months prior to my wedding and keep me posted of the order status. He was very responsible, patient and so helpful. He would also share his personal opinions and experiences when it came to a point I couldn't decide on specific details. My wedding was on a Sunday when John was not available in store, but it was Richie who helped us when we picked up the suits on Friday, and told us to stop by if there's any last minute help needed on that Saturday. My wedding went great. I would highly recommend Andrew Davis to anyone that needs formal wear. John, Richie, Alex... all of their staff were friendly...
