J. Robert’s saved me from a suit mishap a few hours before the wedding. They were able to get me in a new pair of pants, hemmed and ready to go in under an hour. I would highly recommend!

My 16 year old son rented his prom tuxedo from them. He handled it all himself. They were excellent and easy to work with as they made him feel comfortable and welcome through the whole process. Plus, he looked great in that tux!

Stopped in over the weekend. Staff was super helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. They were somewhat busy so it took a minute to get done what I needed. An employee stopped in on his off time and saw they were busy and jumped in to start helping customers! Thank you.

I am absolutely furious with my experience at J. Roberts Menswear in Elkhorn. I brought in my overalls back in mid-June because the bottom button on the left side had fallen off. They promised me a repair in two weeks. I returned, and it was a complete botch job—the button wasn’t just poorly sewn; now it was broken in half. After their failed fix, they called once to say it was done—but then never followed up again. I, admittedly, forgot about it until two days ago. I called them, confirming the overalls were ready. They said yes. I drove all the way there, and the employee told me, no, it wasn’t done—the button was still broken. But it was THEIR botched sewing that caused it! To top it all off, I am out $20 for this horrendous excuse for a service, and now they’ve lost the button entirely. I have gone from a minor repair to having a destroyed garment and a total waste of time and money. I will never step foot in this place again.
