I thought it might be a casual clothing store, but it turned out to be a mostly formal clothing store (suits, dress shirts, pants, etc.) I was going for dress shirts so this was fine, but I also wanted pajama pants and they certainly didn't have them. Also, because it was formal I was met at the door by someone who helped measure me and then recommend stuff. I probably couldn't have found what I wanted without the help, but I personally hate it when I am "attended to." They had 3 employees in when I stopped by in the evening, and all gave me their attention. They were super friendly and helpful, but it felt awkward. I hate clothes shopping. For what it is worth, I wasn't really their ideal XL customer. I found some shirts I really liked ($50-60 each) but I probably could have found them at the mall for less. My size is at the bottom of their selection, but I saw sizes 2X-6X so it would be a great place to shop if you are in that range. The experience was very similar to Jos. A. Bank, a store I have frequently gone to. If you need larger clothes, want to make sure you are measured properly, and want friendly and knowledgeable staff this is the place to go.

I asked one question about a sale and she rolled her eyes so obviously I thought she was being sarcastic.

There are no designer clothing labels or trendy fashion forward items in my closet. That said I hadn't been to crossgates in awhile and had no idea there was a carhartt store here! An entire store! Maybe I'm getting a little too excited? They have a very complete selection of everything carhartt. Coats, shirts, jeans, boots, belts, hats, socks... hell even wallets. They have many items that you wont find at Sears and the like. They also have a frequent shopper rewards program which could be dangerous. The staff is courteous and helpful but not overbearing and pushy.

Some of the items are a little too trendy for my own tastes, but they do have a lot of nice items that I would consider if I was looking to buy. There is an underwear section in the back corner of the store. I saw a very tiny shoe section. They do have some cute accessories, the scarves were beautiful. Prices were mid range, some items seemed a little high to me based on the quality. This store also carries jeans, I know denim can be hard to find for the curvy shopper. This store is not too far from the food court and is on the upper level.

As I don't shop here myself (and having been deterred by the company's politics) I had no expectations when I entered the store. First, the store is large, handsomely laid out, and conveys the (correct) impression of high quality. I was approached by two salespeople who were very nice and very helpful. It pretty much screams high quality by your shopping experience. The items I selected were full price, and not inexpensive, but were clearly well made. At check out they were carefully wrapped and placed in a shopping bag (kudos for not appearing to charge for the bag and for not using plastic.) I would go back here in a moment. Factoring the dirth of high quality options in the Albany area it's nice to have this here.

I needed a smaller size in a top, and the staff member prepared a mail order for me to receive it at home in 5-7 days. I received $55. in rewards off my bill because I am a Chicos frequent buyer.

Great retail therapy at Talbots today with my daughter…read more This store is one of only five Talbots clearance stores in country, so we are lucky to have it closeby. Clearance stores --unlike outlets-- sell excess original stock from Talbots retail stores and Talbots catalog sales. Whereas, outlets sell a lot of items made only for sale at the outlets and never sold in Talbots retail stores. Almost everything today was an extra 80% off already reduced prices. Wow! But, there are no returns permitted, so use the very nice dressing room. This large store is well organized into misses, petites, and plus sizes sections. Plus there are displays of shoes, scarves, handbags, and jewelry. The racks and turnstiles are kept pristine by the helpful, conscientious employees. My daughter found classic shorts in white and navy at only $10. each plus a bathing suit cover. I bought four pieces for only $69. after 80% extra taken off already reduced prices, two full zip jackets and two tops that I will wear starting now. I have worn Talbots brand clothing for decades. It is well made and fits well. It washes well and maintains its shape. Parking is great. No rest room.

A lot of items are only available in one size or color/ pattern. Everything that's on the floor is all they have. Mix of all seasons. I will say the service here was great; I was greeted and asked if I needed help and oriented to the store's various section and fitting rooms. The fitting room attendant was very nice. I'll come back and check it out again to see if I can strike gold, but it's definitely hit or miss. I was looking for a more formal summer dress and while they had several at great prices as low as $20, I didn't like any of the patterns or cuts. Note the store is kind of geared towards the older crowd but they also have more traditional/ classic pieces that could work for any age.

The Burlington, VT manager was absolutely wonderful, and told me to contact her anytime (she gave me her card). I was recently in the Albany, NY area, and saw that my mom had a catalog on her coffee table. I knew that there was a store in the Albany, NY area, and contacted the store to make sure the sale was the same as the catalog, and it was. I spoke with GINA on the phone, and she pulled a couple of pairs of pants for me to try on when I came into the store. My mom & I did indeed visit the store the same day, and we had excellent service from everyone in the store! We both ended up getting many items, with exceptional service, as well as saving additional 10% opening credit cards. GINA & her store were awesome and I will not hesitate to go into that store again for my purchases. Please remind all associates of J Jill to treat their customers like they would want to be treated. I will be visiting MASHPEE, MA this weekend, but will NEVER visit the J Jill store there after my terrible experience. As for the Burlington, VT store, as well as the Albany, NY store, I will never hesitate to go into both of those stores, as they deliver GREAT customer service!

She found the popular wide legged jeans she wanted plus several other items. I found shorts and shirts for my husband. Five Stars for amount of stock in this large store that was neatly organized and for the great staff! What we liked at the Niskayuna location: *Clothing etc. is displayed nicely. *Store is clean and orderly. *It is well organized and neatly arranged on racks, shelving, and tables. *Signs for sales were displayed prominently. *Staff were helpful and courteous. They were eager to provide assistance when asked. *When there was a customer in line as I was in process of checking out, another cash register was opened so she did not have to wait. *My cashier looked for additional discounts for me. *Prices are better than at the Gap and American Eagle. *Returns are processed quickly at store. Also, there is lots of continent parking. One improvement to this store and nearby Ulta would be to install automatic door openings (double doors) for better handicapped accessibility. Apparently, it is not required.
