Eljos has along time stand with the University of Virginia and throughout the East Coast as being the premier traditional men’s clothing store. I have shopped there since Prep-School. One cannot go wrong, the clothes last a lifetime. Myles and Trent Thurston are great and personable and passionate about their work, merchandise, their customer base. I will remain a loyal customer.

I've been buying clothes here since 1970. Recently bought a navy v-neck sweater and a shotgun buckle belt. Nothing new, just replacing what I'd worn out. Can't beat tradition.

Fantastic store! Love this place. I've shopped at Eljo's since '94 when I first visited Charlottesville and I return to shop every time I'm in the area. Friendly service, great selection - quality clothing that I can only get here - great experience. Can't recommend it enough.

When you reach a point of understanding the value of traditional men's clothing, you find yourself in Eljo's. All the best brands; knowledgeable, friendly staff. Nothing else in town comes close.

I've loved this shop for 35 years. Classic clothing that is impossible to find at Department stores. Preppy but not frumpy. Highest quality and fair prices.

Eljos is a gem of a retailer! Stores and owners like Eljos are more and more difficult to come by. Trent and his team are truly phenomenal and patient. The focus did not feel like it was about a sale, but a relationship with the client. You really don't see this in retail anymore. I was truly flabbergasted and thankful for such a great experience. I purchased a couple of specialty items that fortunately Eljos had in store, and I could not be happier with them.

I wandered in here one day because the shop I had been going to no longer carried khakis that fit me properly. To be clear, I wasn't looking for anything too crazy -- just some nice traditional pants that are well made. Immediately upon entering the store I was impressed. Myles greeted me with a genuine smile and struck up a natural conversation. I got to looking around and realized this place was unique. All their products are hand selected by the owners, whom I might add are connoisseurs of the industry. The products themselves suggest an authentic sense of style, timeless and applicable across generations. But don't take my word for it! As I perused their selection, Myles and I casually discussed a number of topics, and delightfully demonstrated knowledge of the products in unobtrusive fashion. That is, he was never overzealous. I never got a "salesy" vibe the whole time I was there. Instead, I felt like I had my own personal adviser, and ultimately I left that day satisfied with my purchase (a pair of Franks Pants and a pair of Bills Khakis). I was advised to go ahead and wash them before tailoring to get the truest fit. So I came back to get my pants tailored. This time I was greeted by Trent, Myles' son. He was equally as gracious and knowledgeable, maintaining the same personal vibe that I enjoyed so much on my previous visit. I ended up staying longer than anticipated, partially because of the classic service, partially because their selection is so captivating. While getting my pants fitted, it was easy to tell how much they cared about precision, which I can't appreciate enough, and which seems to be a dying art in this industry. Again, I left feeling more satisfied than I had ever felt leaving a clothing store. Of course, both pairs of pants fit perfectly when they came in. Additionally, the turnaround for their tailor is one day, another extremely convenient aspect of their business. Ultimately, I just had to share what a positive experience I had there, and also relief that I've finally found a traditional men's shop that has as much character as the city in which it resides. Even if you just go to browse, it's worth the trip, but I find it highly unlikely that you'll walk out empty handed!
