Service Menswear

Smart, Relevant Clothes for Guys

  • Free Giftwrapping
  • Preshrunk American Apparel
  • Casual men's fashion

For over a decade, Service has provided Austin 20 and 30-somethings with the town's smartest selection of relevant men's casual clothing in a simple and inviting setting. In 2007, GQ voted Service in the top 100 U.S. men's clothing stores. As regulars know, the shop has a knack for building lines years before they earn the attention of popular culture. Some of the brands currently offered are Unis, Hartford, Tylho, Modern Amusement, and RVCA. Each season, owner Kirk Haines tightly edits many collections to present one solid group or "story" that represents the shop. Every store does this really, it's just that, season after season, Service seems to have all the stuff you want!

Editorial Review for Service Menswear – by Elizabeth McGuire

The Scene
Service Menswear's bright-red neon sign beckons patrons to peruse the vast collection of casual men's clothes in a comfortably classic and manly atmosphere. This store has a devoted following in Austin--not surprising, considering the variety and style of clothing and accessories. In addition, the store has brought some of the country's hottest brands to Austin, including Ben Sherman and Penguin.

The Goods
The store's affordable, classically inspired fashion sense shines in the racks of pants, shirts, jackets and accessories. The frequently changing collections, hand-picked by the hands-on owner, includes all sorts of trendsetting gear. Men snatch up Tyler Speed's perfectly fitted logo T-shirts in many cuts and colors. Scandinavian companies Dunderdon and Melka's casually elegant and functional lines are available, while Billykirk's leather cuffs and watches, old-school Vans sneakers and a small vintage selection round out the stellar collection.

Of all the men's shops in Austin, this is the one for me (well, for my husband). Hands down, they have the best new clothes in Austin. But I'm really writing about the service. Not only do we get the best service at Service, but I've overheard OTHER people talk about the service at Service - AND Crown. And don't forget Crown. Kirk (I think that's his name) - he's mostly found at Crown - is the owner and he's the most attentive salesperson (if you want him to be. If you don't, he will definitely keep his distance). James or Hank (not sure which) is the same way at Service (but on a louder scale). Anyway, if you have a man in your life that you need to shop for, this is the place to go. If you don't have a man in your life and you ARE a man, this is the place to go. p.s. Don't be shy about asking them for a size because they should have more in back - unless you're a size 30.

Pros: Great service, great clothes!

Cons: Smaller sizes gone quickly

Nice store, nice people, but the clothes kinda scream "I'm from the South". If you like Earth-tones and thought Swingers was a cool movie, you can probably find what you want here. I'm still looking. I didn't know "trendsetters" wear Stussy.
