Lowes Oakleigh

It is my nearest store since they closed the Waverley Gardens one. But it gets us out of our comfort zone. We were well looked after. I rang earlier asking about a particular shirt and size availability. Yes they have one left and yes they will put it under the counter for me. We even sorted out our Zero card which made a difference to the price (Cheaper). So, we now have an excuse to go for Greek coffee at Oakleigh!

I never give 5 Stars but when I phoned Lowes in Oakleigh the saleslady was more then helpful & she even phoned me back to discuss the material I wanted.
I went there the next day & even though she was busy with other customers I never felt rushed.

Plenty of decent quality products at really good pricing. A big plus for body inclusivity, not just catering to the S/M/K sizes. It isn't just a plus sizes range, about a quarter of the products in the store were bigger sizes of what could be found in the store which takes away the sinking feeling of needing to go to a plus size section to get a completely different clothing selection. The online options has most clothing available in bigger sizing too.
This Lowes had a really lovely and very helpful member of staff who has built up a rapport with my father which is quite sweet.
The one downside is that because there's so much product in store, it leaves very little room for people with mobility aids like canes or crutches, and therefore leaves no hope for someone in a wheelchair. But that's a honestly probably just down to the size and shape of the shop. It's not a large site so I can understand managers wanting maximum product available in store where assistance is available rather than pushing the bigger sizes entirely to online only, and reducing what's available in general sizes which risks running out of products.
All in all, you'll definitely get your money's worth whether buying tradie high vis gear, casual stuff for around the house, nest casual, or suits, and shoes to match whichever dresscode you're going for. (Personally, I love the current selection of boots that would look good with jeans or could fit just as well with a semi-formal dresscode)

Great selection of well-priced no-nonsense men's clothes and shoes, from beach to business to building site - kind of like what target used to be like before it lost the plot - but the staff here give great service. It is surprising how they fit so many different types of clothes into such a small space, so the only issue is space b/w the aisles if you are in a wheelchair, but the staff are so friendly and helpful, if you had any problems, and asked for the help, I am sure they would move things around for you to get to where you wanted to go, or bring things to you.

Needed new work pants also has a great range of hawian shirts

Fantastic when they have sales, good quality for the price

Lowes is one of those stores that provides basic items of clothing at reasonable prices. The quality is probably a little bit better than you would expect for the low prices being charged - it's not haute couture but servicable clothing. Obviously, if you buy a $5 polo shirt, it's going to be pure polyester and cheaply made, but step up to the $25 range and they're pretty good. They also carry a reasonable range of large sizes for us men who are carrying a few extra kilos. The staff are very friendly and shopping there is a low stress experience, so would recommend.
