C&R Clothiers was a large chain of men's suit and furnishings stores based in Culver City, California. As of 1990 it had 67 stores across California.[1] The chain dates back to 1948.[2]
The company declared bankruptcy in 1996 and sold some of the stores to Men's Wearhouse,[3] which created a Value Priced Clothing division from both C&R Clothiers Inc. and the NAL chain.[4]
