Banana Republic — Local services in Chester

Oddly, I have ever been in a Banana Republic store before. I flew in from Poland and left most of my dress clothes behind including all things non-jeans.

A surprise trip required some new clothes 'now'. No time for a tailor. ChatGPT recommended them and in I went.

I sort of expected some cheap fast fashion in heaps around the store. Instead, I walk into a calm, spacious place with everything in its place. Some people smiled at me from the counter, but gave me space to breathe. While I was in jeans and sneakers they were all smartly dressed. I inquired about men's clothing and was immediately introduced to 'Michael'. I explained my plight and in moments I was in a large clean dressing room with what I asked for. Michael inquired 'through' the door as to how they fit and I explained that my diet must have escaped me. He assured me that different clothes in the same size can fit differently and brought an array of different sizes to me in the dressing room. All good!

I selected the size that fit (which were well cut) and asked about some high thread count short sleeve shirts with no collars. A variety of these arrived moments later. Michael has an acute sense of which colors would work with the colors of the jackets that I had described (and brought with me from Poland).

I purchased the slacks, socks and several of the shirts in a variety of colors. I am ready for my trip!

I should say that I hate to shop and when pressed to do so, I do it with purpose. Michael's service was cheerful, thoughtful and brisk (which I like).

I am very pleased and I will be back.

The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because the store is a bit small compared to other BR stores so sometimes the...
