Okay, I shop at a lot of places for clothing. Usually Macy's and Nordstrom's. I wanted a coat made by a specific company; Stone Island. There are very few stores in the US that carry this brand. I found exactly what I was looking for at Oslo's. From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted by the owner John, and was made to feel very comfortable. I asked to see some of the Stone Island coats that they carry, and he brought them out with a smile. John also helped me find the size that fit perfectly. I tried on a few coats and all of them in different sizes. Usually at any of the department stores, you feel like you are bothering the salesperson by trying on so many items. At Oslo's, I was welcomed to try on whatever I like. Just as well, they held the coats for me (as a man does for his wife) so trying them on was really easy. I was guided in fit and comfort and was given opinions on how they thought each coat looked. The one that I liked the most, John commented that it looked great, and "you look very comfortable in that". So he also noticed my body language and posture as I tried on something that really made me feel good about the way I looked. However that day, we left, without buying the coat. We were told "thank you for stopping by" and everyone smiled at us, even though we didn't buy anything. Now the next day, I went back and bought the coat, and John remembered my name, and greeted me, again with a huge smile and a warm heart. This is one of the most memorable shopping experiences that I have ever had. They also include a very nice hanger and a complimentary coat bag for such purchases. I highly recommend Oslo's to anyone in need of men's clothing. To the team at Oslo's; Thank you, and keep up the great work! You are the number one store on my list. Also, one great aspect, is meeting Oslo, John's dog. He is a very nice and well behaved Golden Retriever. All in all, I give this store a rating of 6 stars on the 5 star scale!
Pros: Awesome customer service, great prices and a well kept store. Store hours are great.
Cons: It's 70 miles from my house :(

You can find a fashion forward shirt for a date that night or a pair of trousers for the office on Thursday just by mentioning your needs to the sales staff. To top it all off, you can get a top-drawer haircut and shave. You can walk out of Oslo's feeling like a crisp $100 bill. Being known by name is a tell-tale sign of excellent service. And if nothing else; Oslo's provides a degree of service equal to the best haberdasheries in the West. Myself, I have no problem dropping a few dollars on a terrific item I won't see 15 other guys wearing. So if you're adverse to having your sales associate pay attention to you and (wholly cow!) actually ask you questions about what you're looking for - don't go here. Actually, don't go here anyway. I want to keep this all to myself. Parking can be a pain but, Oslo's provides a great experience and exceptional service. And yes, the dog is cute.
