John McNabb Clothier

Wednesday, July 31, 2013

Shopping for the right suit can often times be a daunting challenge. With various styles, fits and colour combinations to choose from it is important to find a place that can help make sense of it all. Larger chain retailers typically do not have the expert knowledge you require to truly give you the best advice. John McNabb Clothing, with its sterling reputation and years of experience and knowledge, is Downtown Barrie’s “finest in traditional and contemporary men’s fashion”. They can recommend the best fit, style and colour for you, sometimes without even taking any measurements.

John McNabb Clothing is owned and operated by John McNabb and his son Trevor, and has been in business for over 23 years. John is a community man involved in various organizations like the Rotary Club and Habitat for Humanity, aside from running a successful men’s clothing store. As a young man, John had a strong interest in the garment industry and the etiquette that is often synonymous with proper dress attire. At the young age of 15 he dove into the business and began his experience and his education in the vast world of men’s clothing.

John strongly believes that a brand of clothing can mean very little if it doesn’t fit the customer correctly – fit is paramount. Just take the way he dresses as a testament to that. The store itself is like walking into a giant closet; colourful all year round, with golf shirts neatly folded, unique embroidered dress shirts hanging from hooks, and trousers pressed and displayed for your perusal. There is a large selection of premiere international and Canadian made brands, including Robert Graham, Coppley, S. Cohen, J. Lindenberg, and more. Clothing that is designed to stand the test of time, experienced staff trained to fit the customer properly, including bespoke suit making – these are hallmarks of John McNabb Clothiers.

John and his staff are always learning about fabrics and styles, staying on top of the latest trends and garment industry developments. John built his business on serving the customer and strives to ensure everyone receives the type of service he would expect from a men’s clothing store. He stands behind all merchandise, and if for any reason a purchase fails to live up to your expectation, he will go out of his way to make it right. Visit John and Trevor at John McNabb Clothing to get that perfect fit – you’ll never want to shop anywhere else again.
