84th Anniversary Sale

Jack Lindley opened Lindley Clothing in Wahoo, NE in 1935, and for 84 years the Lindley name has been synonymous with men’s fine clothing in the Omaha area. 

Today, John Lindley, Jack’s grandson, runs the business. While styles have changed over the last 8 decades, Lindley’s commitment to excellent customer service has remained the same.  

“Service is our top priority, and we do it very well,” says John. “We know our clients by name, and we know what they like, so it is easy to what they are looking for – whether that is a suit, shirt, pants or shoes.” 

John credits many dedicated employees for contributing to the company’s success, and for helping the company build trust with clients. A big part of their service is custom tailoring, which can be expensive and difficult to find on your own. Lindley clients know they can get a wardrobe piece that match their style, perfectly tailored to fit – and without a long wait.

The business has evolved over the years in order to meet the needs of customers. Styles have changed over the years, and today business suits are the main driver to get customers in the door. John is encouraged more and more young professionals have become clients, and he appreciates that young people today recognize the importance of dressing well in the business world. 

While the Lindley has become popular because of suite, nearly 50% of business at the store is sportswear. Customers are often surprised when they visit the store and learn they can be dressed from head to toe, including shoes!

To celebrate 84 years of service, Lindley invites you to shop our anniversary sale now through Oct. 18th. 

The Lindley Look for Fall

At Lindley Clothing, we think you should always look your best, regardless of the occasion!

As more companies adopt a “dress for your day” policy, we have seen a slide in style, almost to the point of lacking style at all! Dressing casually shouldn’t be confused with looking unpolished. You should always look your best – and Lindley can help!

The store is stocked with new styles for Fall. Versatile pieces that will help you make a good impression, whether it’s at the office, first date, game party or a night on the town. 

Denim doesn’t have to be blue! We carry a variety of colors - ranging from green to olive to red – that will help you stand out in a crowd.

An untucked shirt doesn’t have to look unpolished. You’ll find stylish and unique button-downs in stripes, plaids and florals that will easily transition from the office to happy hour. 

Everyone needs stylish wardrobe staples. The important thing is to wear pieces that fit and feel comfortable. Presenting yourself well is always a good idea, even if it is just to run errands.

We know everyone is excited for Fall weather – and we are excited for you to see the Fall styles we have in the store!

Father’s Day is June 16 – a day to show Dad how much you appreciate him!

In honor of Father’s Day, we recognize our friend, Jim Murphy, an all-around great Omaha dad!

In 1960, Jim Murphy purchased Universal Press Clipping Bureau, now Universal Information Services, and managed the company’s growth until 2015.  Established in 1908, Universal Information Services has grown into a global provider of monitored news media and measurement services.  Jim served as a Brigadier General with the Nebraska Army National Guard from 1988 to 1994.  During his 36 years with the military he served as Assistant Adjutant General for the state of Nebraska as well as Commandant of Camp Ashland for 10 years, directing all training of over 5,000 troops.  Following this assignment, he was promoted to the rank of General and commanded all Army Guard troops in Nebraska.

 His Army career also included additional education at the US Army Command & General Staff School and the Army War College. His last service ribbon was awarded for active duty during Operation Desert Storm, retiring in 1994. He is currently appointed by the Secretary of the Army to be the Civilian Aid for the State of Nebraska serving in this capacity for the past 17 years.

Dress for Success with Lindley Clothing

Despite the shift in many offices from traditional suits to some form of business casual, the general rule of thumb remains the same - dress for the job you WANT, not the job you have.

Business casual is less formal than traditional business attire, but it is still intended to look professional and businesslike. Inappropriately dressing at the office can be the biggest roadblock to career growth, but many people don’t have a clear understanding of what is appropriate.

The experienced team at Lindley can help! Our advice – complete the look from head to toe. Follow these tips from Lindley Clothing:

• Wear clothes that fit. Ill-fitting suits – either too big or too small – look sloppy and unprofessional. The Lindley team can help you create a style that is right for your body size and type, including custom-fit dress shirts that can be dressed up or down.

• Build your wardrobe with a few staples. Versatile sportscoats and dress pants, paired with custom-fit shirts, will help you be prepared for any professional situation.

• Know the basic rules. Button-down collared shirts can be worn with a sportscoat, but not a suit. The tip of your tie should hit the middle of your waistband – not longer or shorter. You need a t-shirt under a dress shirt.

• Don’t forget about the shoes. It won’t matter how great your shirt, tie, pants, sportscoat look if your shoes are worn, don’t match, or need a good shine. The goal is a complete look from head to toe. 

• Don’t be afraid to branch out. If your office dress code is less professional, consider adding a patterned pair of socks, or a shirt or sportscoat if you’re more adventurous.
