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]
