The "store" is an entire city block large and they have valet service, not because they are "high-end" but because they just can't fit all the cars in the parking lot.

We have those men's stores in my area where they still sell the 80's mafia loud sweaters (usually in a mock turtleneck). The guys who run it are usually mafia wannabes in their 50's or 60's.

If it is called a "menswear" store it is probably not that great.
