Truebluemenclothing — Local services in Wilton Manors

Terrible experience, reading through the other reviews I can see now that it isn't just us. We walked in and browsed around, at first I thought the owner was another customer as he didn't greet us the first couple minutes we were there. Just looked at us and wandered around the back of the store. Finally after browsing a while he asked if we were looking for anything and we said just looking. He tells my husband, "For you we have shorts and pants" in a kind of condescending manner like he didn't like what we were currently wearing or something. My husband responded with " I have plenty" in a polite way and the owner responds completely like douche with "Okay have a nice day!" Really! Like he wanted us to leave because we were browsing. He was terribly rude, completely unprofessional. We continued to look a while and saw some shoes that were very flamboyant, nothing wrong with that, just not my husband's taste, so he jokes to me "I'm just not that gay" being funny. The owner overhears it and keeps asking what did you say, maybe 3 times until my husband responded "I said I'm just not that gay," so he comes over and gives us a bs lesson on equality or something. He says "Oh it's not gay or straight it's just fashion honey," like we have no clue about anything. Tells us about how people try to put things in a box as gay or straight, bla bla bla, dude first of all it was a joke and second of all we weren't talking to you. You don't know us, you don't know our sense of humor. After that awkward conversation, my husband asked if the shoes were made in Italy and he says they're made in China, we go okay and prepare to leave and he tells my husband "Have a wonderful life baby."

Now, we were down there on vacation and before this experience we had a talk about being kind to people and trying to enjoy our week away from the stress at home. I didn't say anything during the experience and sort of regret that as I feel disrespected by the way he treated my husband, he honestly deserved to be shut down for being a jerk the whole time. My husband is a pretty brutal guy himself and he held back because of the talk we had. Trust me, whatever your name is that owns that store, YOU'RE WELCOME. If it wasn't for that conversation he seriously would have destroyed you. You have no idea. Anyway this guy was very disrespectful, never been anywhere in my life with ownership this terrible and honestly there were a few places in the Wilton Manors area that had disrespectful owners (one is next door and sells candy) albeit not this bad, but still bad. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone I ever come across in my life.

If you're looking for a good experience for clothing in the area try Pride Factory, that place...

Disgusting behavior from the sales team. I went into this shop and immediately was accosted by the salesman. He said as he looked at my outfit is there something you are looking for? When I told him jeans, he very aggressively said. " you have to tell me what you're looking for so I can help you" I said I can look myself he said " no, I have to know what you need so I can help you" disgusting behavior when you're trying to be an ally and support a local business. I will not be going or recommending this shop to anyone. The guy was spewing hate towards me from the moment I walked in without any regard for me as a human or client. Do not shop here. I spent less than 2 minutes here. Spend your money where you're treated with dignity. This is why small businesses shut down. You cannot afford to be nice, people will not spend more than 2 minutes or a dime on your business.

Response to Owner: You are wrong, nobody was drunk or high, you lost the other two potential customers with your rude behavior. We all saw your horrible attitude. Your establishment should know to be polite, welcoming, and charming. None of those things were afforded, learn to be human...

I feel bad writing this review because I’ve worked in fashion retail before and I understand how sometimes the days can be frustrating and long. I recently visited mid day with a friend and was very excited to shop this store. Upon entering the owner asked if we were looking for anything specific and I let him know we were just browsing. We browsed multiple shops before his store and we’re holding multiple bags, ready and eager to spend. The owner could not respect the boundaries just browsing and continued to follow us around the store creating an uncomfortable environment and experience. I gave two stars because from the looks they did have some very cool fashions! If you don’t mind a pestering owner or looking for something very specific, shop here! Just not my cup of tea. My best advice to the owner is to create a personal shopping appointment only experience since he is not the business of accepting foot traffic from Wilton Drive. Best of luck to you!!

Side note: I noticed his responses to many of the customers where he claims “you were drunk (or high)”. It was mid-day and no we were not drunk or high. Just annoyed with your attitude towards...
