Very professional staff, very friendly, and a great selection in the store. I had a short turn around that I need some clothing custom fitted and they made it happen. I will definitely be going back and be referring my friends to them.

If ever there was a "diamond" find for men seeking great quality in every thing from undergarments to outerwear and everything in between from fine fitting and feeling polos, button front brand name shirts to casual pants starting with distinctive jeans, cotton and or super soft botton down shirts from solids to great plaids with "today's looks, casual pants or dress slacks to sport coats and suits - John B Rourke is the place to go. I can't leave out accessories either as they have everything from extended length shoe horns to fine skin wallets. As a bonus, walk in and you will be made to feel

I do not live in Savannah but am willing to drive to Savannah to buy from John B Rourke. The quality of the products they carry is high but more importantly, the service of selection and fitting is outstanding. I am a very happy customer.

The guys that ran the start were very friendly to us, but we didn't see our favorite four letter word - "SALE"! They had a good selection of merchandise, but how can you have cubby holes full of shorts and short sleeve shirts in October at full price esp when everyone else has deep discounts due to the economy?

Mr. Alan was an absolute pleasure to work with for my wedding! He made the process of renting the suits a breeze and was so kind through the entire process. All suits were measured perfectly and were exactly what we wanted. I highly recommend them!

Excellent quality and excellent service. George Pelote is old school in the best sense of the word. Knowledgeable, helpful and quietly efficient. Made shopping a pleasure.
