Glenna Marino is looking for a few good gentlemen.
Well, maybe more than a few.
In September, Marino opened Sharp in downtown Camp Hill, offering area men a different way of shopping for clothes.
Marino said that it’s often difficult for men to find clothes that fit them. By coming into the store, they’re able to get a custom fit, assuring that they will feel comfortable and look stylish.
“We’re very hands-on with our fittings,” Marino said. “We present an extraordinary experience that every man deserves the privilege to savor.”

According to Marino, the shop’s commitment to refinement and elegance sets them apart from other men’s stores.
“We believe that clothing is more than fabric—it’s an expression of your individuality and style,” she said. “Each stitch, fold and seam is meticulously attended to, ensuring that the final piece not only fits impeccably but also exudes confidence and sophistication.”
Once fitted, clients have access to 12 different categories of custom clothing. The store offers a distinctive selection of fabrics from globally acclaimed mills, along with limitless customization possibilities, tailored to suit unique preferences, Marino said.
“Your unique, custom-made design is delivered within weeks directly to your home, and we will help with 100% satisfaction,” she said.
Sharp also offers items in-store, including sport coats, vests, socks, tie clips, leather goods, colognes, briefcases, polos, golf wear and soaps.
“We encourage people to stop by or make an appointment and see what items we have in the store,” Marino said.
Marino recently helped a customer who came into the store wearing baggy pants. The man, she said, never would have thought of wearing tighter pants on his own.
“He left the store very happy. He couldn’t get over how much he liked the tighter pants,” she said. “I get a lot of joy out of making people happy. It feels good to know that I’m helping people look better.”
Marino chose to open in the heart of the Camp Hill shopping district for both the building’s visibility, near other stores, and for its aesthetics.
“I’ve had my eye on this location for quite some time,” she said. “I liked the high ceilings. It has a masculine look, which is what I wanted for a men’s clothing store.”
Marino said that, while she hopes to draw much of her business from the west shore, she expects people to come from all over the area.
“We’re not just getting people from Camp Hill,” she said. “We’re getting people from Harrisburg and other places. We hope people from everywhere will be attracted to the clothes we have at our store.”
Marino said that she had always been interested in fashion and design. In fact, she wanted to open her store so badly that she worked in another store for the past year to get a better understanding of the men’s clothing business.
“It’s something I like doing,” she said. “I think I’ve always had an eye for fashion and design, and I like helping people in that way.”
Sharp is located at 2138 Market St., Camp Hill. To make an appointment, call 717-502-2024, visit www.sharpcamphill.com or email glennamarino@gmail.com.
