    I have to share this because it genuinely made me laugh. I walked in and casually asked if there were any sales going on. They said no, which is totally fine. It's Abbot Kinney, not an outlet mall. I wasn't expecting discounts. I still wandered toward the back to browse, and another woman was doing the exact same thing, so clearly I'm not the only one who checks. Then I overheard one of the sales guys say to another employee, within earshot, "Why would we have any sales?" followed by laughter. And I thought... wow. Okay. That's not great salesmanship. It came off dismissive and inconsiderate. Talking about a customer like that while they're still in the store just isn't a good look. Maybe he was having a bad day. Who knows. But let's just say it like it is, that was totally uncool.

    While their clothing is cute it's too expensive for what it is. The low rating is because they weren't that busy and not one of the three employees greeted us nor the other customers that entered when we did. One was folding and the other two were behind the counter. I'll stick to online. Parking advice: come on the weekdays, the weekends are almost impossible.

    I ordered a few size XL items online. The items I wanted happened to be on sale, so I thought, "Why not?" When my items arrived a few weeks later, everything was size small. Thinking I had made a mistake, I checked my online order and discovered I had been sent the wrong size. How can they get this so wrong? We all make mistakes, so it was no big deal. I was going to visit Venice Beach and decided to take my merchandise to the Venice Beach AN store to exchange my items in person. The store is located on a stretch of trendy Abbot Kinney Ave. The store itself is lovely and well-maintained, with inventory displayed at every table, shelf, and counter. Customer service, on the other hand, was the reason for my one-star review. No one welcomed me, no one ever approached me while I browsed the store, nor was I so much as acknowledged while I walked down each aisle. This was a significant failure on the employees' part, as customer service is a considerable item in my book. I finally had an employee make contact with me when I approached the counter. I inquired about exchanging the small-sized items I had received in error. I was advised that to return any items, they would need to be approved by a manager. Believing that this young female employee did not hear my request, I made it clear that I was not trying to return anything but was solely seeking to exchange a few items for a larger size. Once again, I was advised that it would have to be approved. Ohh ok. I waited a few minutes, hoping this employee would speak to someone, but oddly, she never moved or spoke to anyone. After a few minutes, I asked, "Sooo, are you going to have my request or?? What are we doing??" The female employee replied, "Oh yes. It has been approved, but you can't receive the sale price, so you'll have to pay our current full price". WHAT! "First of all, who made this decision, and second, this was NOT my mistake". After going back and forth a few minutes, the female employee finally agreed to exchange my items for new ones, and as soon as I was done, I practically flew out of the store. The merchandise is good, but customer service was a HUGE turnoff for me. For this reason, along with all the negative reviews, I may never purchase another item from Aviator Nation.

    I love, love, love Aviator Nation because it is effortlessly chic, super comfy and it looks stylish with minimal effort. This brand is definitely relaxed, casual and not designed for staying at home. The vintage distressed retro inspired pieces are a plus for me. My reason for 3 stars is because of their customer service and/or return policy. I ordered a sweatshirt on line (size L) with a 20 percent discount. When I received my package it was a size XS. This is the second time that I received an on-line order with the incorrect size. As soon as I noticed the size, I knew I wanted to exchange it for the exact same item in the correct size. I visited the location near Venice Beach and was upset because I walked into the store and explained to the employee that I received the wrong size and wanted to exchange it for the correct size. At that point, I did not accuse the company of sending me the wrong size. Even though I know I ordered a large and this was the second time that this has happened. Once I was complete with my explanation the employee advised they did not have any more of the same sweatshirts and she was unsure if I could return it. I asked if I could get the same item in a different color and she replied with a yes. She went on to ask another employee if they had any in stock. The employee replied with a "NO." I walked up to a table that had a variety of sweatshirts and looked directly at the item I was looking for. I pointed it out and the employee said, oh I didn't know we had any left. I asked for my size and went back to the cash register with the original employee that was assisting me. Once she started the transaction, she said she wasn't sure if she could give me the 20 percent off. Really? You had to ask a manager, if I can get the discount on the same item, just a different size. That's ridiculous, when you are paying $200 for a sweatshirt. Needless to say. I will most likely not purchase anything on-line anymore because of their return policy. If it is discounted and their mistake, I DO NOT want to be stuck with an over priced piece of clothing that will stay in my closet. Their return policy should be a bit more flexible, when you are paying that much for super casual clothing.

    As expected, the Aviator Nation Customer Experience Team -- and the in-store staff (thank you, Luke and associaties!) -- rectified the situation within 24hrs. I now have all the items that I wanted in the sizes that I wanted. Thank you all! Have a wonderful holiday :)

    Poor quality. Piling all over. Customer service sucks. Every excuse in the book and they disappear mid convo instead of making it right. Never ever again.

The nice girl over the phone said they showed one pair, but wanted to physically check inventory to confirm. They did have them, and she set them aside for the day. Vuori is located on the first shopping block on Abbot Kinney (if you're coming from Main St). Upon entering, it's easy to find the counter towards the back of the store, and I was greeted by the blonde girl working. Letting her know an item was on hold, she directed me over to the fitting room. I saw two doors open but one had clothing in it, but another employee offered assistance, letting me in the other open room. I wanted to make sure the fit was proper, so I walked on out and the same employee was there to help. She was very informative, and said the fit depended on how you wanted the length to be, if you wanted them low or higher on the hips, etc. I knew I had made the right choice. Even though I had planned on wearing these primarily on flights, I have a feeling they'll be sneaking into my weekly wardrobe. Same girl rang me up, and this was a seamless transaction. She also sent me an offer code via email so I was able to save on my next purchase (which I already used on another pair of joggers). The name 'Shawn S' was on the bottom of the receipt, and I was here back in later March on a Monday.

    DO NOT BUY CUSTOM LEATHER JACKETS HERE…read more These guys have no idea what they are doing when it comes to measurements and tailoring and have terrible customer service to top it off. I wasted $1,600 on a leather jacket that's 10" too big for me and they won't exchange it or give me my money back. I stopped into the store one day, and a woman named Mary extolled the many benefits of a custom tailored leather jacket, mainly the specifics of how well it would fit. I bought one, and she took my measurements for it at the store. Nearly six months later it arrived and was WAY too big (see photo #1). We arranged for a return and she asked me for my correct waist size. I told her (and this is in writing via email exchange "I wear a size 32" jeans") and she assured me that would be enough for the correct jacket to be sent. Another nearly six months go by, and the new jacket arrives. And low and behold, it is again way off in the waist. I measured the waist (see photo 2) and it corresponds to a size 44" jeans. And now the store is accusing me of having worn the jacket and refusing to process my return, sent the jacket back to me, and refuses to answer my calls or emails. I spent a year dealing with these clowns. They are negligent and have no clue what they are doing. They got the measurements wrong not once, but twice in row! And now because they don't want to have to pay for the jacket (presumably the manufacturer is not to blame so they would be stuck with the bill) they are looking for loopholes in their return policy to stick me with the bill despite the fact that this is clearly their fault.
