"SUIT UP" is definitely a phrase I do not get to use enough. That being said, I was in need of a suit and looked up Bruce Julian via yelp and saw that the store had great reviews - wanted to give it a shot, and I was not disappointed one bit.
I walked in after work around 5 pm and was immediately greeted by Diana, super -personable and ready to help me and my "suiting up" needs. Just by eyeing me in the few seconds of talking, we set out to find my size since I did not recall my jacket size. She was pretty spot on too with the first jacket I tried on... it fit like a glove. Nothing like a nice fitting jacket. As we were trying jackets on, Diana got a feel for what color, what occasion I needed the suit for, and just was fun to talk to her about how a suit should fit and all the options. SO MANY OPTIONS. She basically was grabbing suits off the rack left and right and we settled on two that I "felt good in" - then she took me to the back to meet Cheryl to make sure the "fit" was correct. It was great having so much expertise under one roof. If the suit didn't fit just right, Cheryl could work her magic and do some nipping and tucking to get me looking 007 caliber.
Diana actually offered me a bloodymary.... which was super tempting especially after a long work-day. There is a small bar in the store!!! It was nice to find out that Bruce sells his own Bloody Mix - and he was actually in Charleston with his wife at a convention for it. Hopefully I get to meet him since his store is overflowing with his personality. It is not everyday you walk into a suit store and see star wars action figures displayed by the mannequins.
Overall my experience here was a great one! Dilworth is lucky to have this small business right off of Selwyn with ample parking and a great selection of mensware.
