Kilgore Trout

Great store, clothing is fantastic and and sales team treats you with respect.

Kilgore has good clothes. I know this and my ass looks great. Seriously don’t visit this store if K&G Menswear is first on your itinerary for wares, you are hopeless dude and you need a made to measure, coffin mattress.
I am a discerning clothes buyer and this place has been around for some time. My sister even used to work there and I received discounts. Don’t hate though mister.
My man Joe left and started his own store so that is why I have to push off some stars. Sometimes the Beachwood & Orange Jew clientele with their punishing anxiety to appear anything less than static rich is off putting. No problem staff is helpful and knows they have the goods so they generally don’t act weird about this fact. Z is for Zegna.
Kilgore Trout is a character from Vonnegut, we can talk about books in our nice suits.

Just no. Unless your idea of a fun shopping experience involves being judged by your sales associates.
See, I have what other’s (and my husband) might call a slight handbag problem. I have a lot of them and I’m always looking for a new, fun brand. I had stumbled across a gorgeous blue Linea Pelle bag online that I just had to have for Christmas. Because I had no experience with that brand — I wanted to check it out in person to see what the color and leather were really like. None of the big mall stores carried it, so when I saw that it was carried at Kilgore Trout I felt really excited! And they carried Botkier! I’m sold!
The girl working the handbag section was really sweet with great customer service and I felt like I would maybe be coming back to purchase a bag for Christmas. That is, until we stepped into the men’s wear section for my husband to look around and the sale’s guy from that side literally said to us «You guys just trying to get out of the cold?» as he ate his lunch.
What?! No. We’re not trying to «get out of the cold.» We’re trying to shop at your store d-​bag. I’m sorry if we don’t look like we want to buy $ 400 t-​shirts, but ya know, there really were items that we were going to purchase!
I was really trying to Shop Local for some of our big ticket items, but I’m going to be ordering this one online. =(

Kilgore Trout is a great store for men’s clothing, and I would specifically recommend it for Zegna sportcoats, suits, and made-​to-​measure items. Every member of the staff is friendly and extremely helpful. It is especially beneficial if, over time, you work with the same consultant, who can add a personal touch after they get a feel for your own preferences and what you have and don’t have in your wardrobe. I’ve also come to really appreciate their eye for perfection and not simply settling for a «pretty good» or even «very good» fit when additional adjustments can be made. I would put the level of service and tailoring right up there with (if not higher than) the highly-​regarded Bergdorf Goodman Men’s store in New York.
Why only 4 of 5 stars? It may be an unfair comparison, but, in the end, their available selection can’t compare with the much bigger stores.
