The Finest Fashion Endures

Our Story

Godfrys was established in 1981 on Lane Avenue in Columbus, Ohio, to fulfill a niche missing in Columbus …  the finest of men’s fashion.  In 1986 we expanded our business and moved to Worthington Mall, where we resided for 22 years.  In September 2008, we relocated to a free-standing building in the Polaris Lifestyle Center and added a women’s fashion business so we would have something for everyone.  We remain at our Polaris location today and have had the pleasure of serving loyal customers for over 42 years.  The success of our business has been consistently recognized by Esquire Magazine’s “Gold Standard” for the top 30 specialty store retailers in the country.

The best place to buy high quality clothes in Columbus, OH. The owners are very knowledgeable when when it comes to styling and matching clothes. By going and buying there, you are not only getting the highest quality products can last you for very long time, but else learning about the classy Italian designers. Columbus is lucky to have store like this.

I just got into high end menswear and I’ve been coming to Godfry’s for a few months now. Fred and Heinz are awesome. First day I came in I looked like a total schlub and they treated me with respect, dignity and with a welcoming attitude. Today I have an amazing beginner wardrobe, and am confident and happy with my outfits every day. You don’t have to be an expert or be rich to come here. Fred and Heinz will guide you on good decisions, even if that means they don’t get your business right away. This is exceedingly rare in this day and age, and a welcome sight to see in Columbus.

If you are looking to get some great men or women’s clothing and you live within an easy driving distance to Columbus, this is the place to go. The selection of men’s clothing well curated and they feature some top brands like Canali and Zegna. Not only that, the owners and staff are very knowledgeable, helpful, and have a great eye for helping a customer find what works for them. I would highly recommend checking Godfrys out the next time you are looking for a new look.
