In a time when talent, artistry, & service is a rare commodity to find, J. Alden stands out as a hidden gem amongst the crowd.
When we discovered we had nothing appropriate to wear to an upcoming funeral, we were in search to find a quality clothing store for men & women. We were not looking for all black or the usual attire. A friend recommended J. Alden Clothiers in Essex.
As soon as we walked in we knew we were in the right place. Jim & his wife greeted us kindly & pulled recommendations for my husband that were casually elegant, in quality fabrics & styles. Jim pulled everything together for us. He also brought us up to date on current fashion trends.
Some of the pieces needed tailoring. Jim came to the rescue & had the tailoring done in a day. Jim personally delivered our purchases to our home in less than 48 hours, just in time for the funeral the next day.
We are grateful for Jim & his wife for their generous service & their wonderful store. We will be repeat customers for sure & hope others will give this place a visit.

It's the kind of shop where they get to know you and what you like and if it isn't in your size they will order it for you.
When you visit the beautiful town of Essex I highly recommend stopping here and getting lost and finding something...

Jim, the owner, is wonderful, and Sandra, one of his lovely sales associates, has become a friend through our many visits to the store. They offer beautiful, high-quality, and unique, yet classic, clothing. The personalized service is sincere and unparalleled - it's like shopping with a friend who also happens to be a stylist. Even my husband who couldn't care less about fashion, has become a fan and always manages to find pieces to bring home. Next time you're in the area, please stop in. You won't be...
