Raul's Menswear

"Walking around Old Town shopping and stopped in a few men's stores looking for a fedora. Finally one shop (who had them but had sold put) recommended Raul's. As we arrived on Sunday afternoon, Raul was present and even cleaning idewalk of leaves. Immediately I knew this was another owner operated and run shop that I love to support. Had such a collection of hats my wife had me try on many and once we decided, Raul even put some padding in to fit a large (vs a tight medium). Looks great, I already have received compliments. My wife even bought a beautiful tie and cufflinks. Great shop, great owner, years in business. We will return but even initial stop has been a great satisfaction."

"I paid close to $100 for a sweater that unknown to me, had two holes in the fabric. My friend purchased two sweaters and experienced the same. I called Rauls and left a message, but I did not receive a return call. I had shopped here in the past and like the selections. This experience left me not wanting to shop here again."

"The Merchant told me the pant was 100% wool from Italy but found out it was from Canada I was charged $ 150 . The second pair of pant was supposed to be a light brown which I tried but when I went to pick up he told me it was dark brown which to me it looks black pant I took a witness with me but the Merchant said it was dark brown . I see dishonesty from the Merchant . I decided to buy from big retail stores like Nordstrom , Mewman Marquis if I got to pay $300 for 2 pair of pants."

"Would highly recommend Raul’s shop to anyone looking for a new suit. After moving to the area, I quickly realized I needed a new suit and some formal wear. Upon finding Raul’s place I immediately felt welcome and comfortable as he spoke with me about the options and his recommendations for what types of clothing would be most versatile for me. Upon returning to pick up my suit, he called me by name and quickly remedied a small flaw that was found in the fabric of something I’d purchased. Not only was I pleased with my new clothing, but the care and personal touch he adds to everything made the experience memorable. Raul’s place is one of the Gems of Old Town Alexandria. Thanks Raul!"
