This store makes me happy. It reminds me of the kind of clothes I got locally growing up as a So Cal native. The clothes aren't cheap, but they're made here (not in China) and the quality is really good. I have a couple of pairs of their sweatpants, a hoodie, two shirts and a couple of onesies for my baby. Wish they would make the onesies in organic cotton again -- that's my only critique. Love the colors and creative designs of their clothes. read more

I returned to the Laguna Beach store to buy some xmas presents. I mentioned to the salesperson that my sweats began pilling right after I bought them....she said she hears that alot with a few of their items....(Kind of surprised since these sweats cost me over $130) She said maybe I should call the Abbott Kinney store and maybe they would do something....Love these designs...but frankly for a small business that is a very strange way to handle poor product quality...me and how many others? read more

Big fan of Aviator Nation. The products are fantastic--and really well made. Visit the Venice shop if you can--if not the online shop is great. Customer service is stellar. I had a question and they got right back to me. read more

Such genuine and rad people working at all three locations in the LA area. Super helpful and I can attest to them standing behind Paige's product 100%. Proud to support this company and beyond stoked with all of the items I have purchased! read more

I love the clothes at Aviator Nation. The colors, the stripes and the quality is outstanding. I think this company might possibly be the greatest thing I have discovered in a long time. Everybody runs around wearing the same ole boring things. I like that this brand is fresh and unique. The AN styles turn heads. Also the customer service is incredible. They really want to have happy customers. They will do flips to make you happy. If you doubt that retail therapy works, go buy a hoodie here and you will be a happy person!!! read more

I like their stuff. It's expensive but I like the stuff, but why do they always hire teenagers who act high and say "like" a lot? The curly haired one today called me "babe" a few times. I have to be twice her age! read more

I really love my hoodie! After a rather long (3 months) process getting the one I wanted due to AN moving warehouses last fall they were extremely apologetic and threw in a free t-shirt that I also love. Great quality and super soft... read more

My son has just purchased his 5th hoodie and wears one of them pretty much every day. The quality is amazing - he has had a few of them for 2-3 years and they have been washed hundreds of times. Don't balk at the price - the quality makes them more than worth it! You get what you pay for and Aviator Nation hoodies are not only gorgeous but they are also top of the line in quality. They last and last and last and continue to look great! We buy them online and always receive them very quickly. Curtis, the e-commerce Manager is stellar and so kind and helpful! We will continue to purchase from these guys and won't hesitate to recommend them. Very cool styles and quality, quality, quality. A+ guys! Thanks for everything! read more

In fairness, I was here for the Grand Opening Party on 12/5 as I know the PR/Social Media person for the store. That's not going to stop me from reviewing how cool this place really is. Place is designed like a retro beach house with an old-school pinball and video game in the house. Pinball machine must've been from the '50s as it had the old mechanical scoring system. So guys, if you're stuck shopping with your gal pal, you have something to besides looking at porn on your iPhone to bide the time away. There's a big patio outside and it looks like they'll regularly be doing musical performances there especially during First Fridays. So the nation is trying to make a major impact on Abbot Kinney. As for the clothes, if you're expecting bomber jackets and aviator sunglasses, well, not really. It's vivid and colorful shirts and caps for the most part. My personal faves were the anti-war ones which after President Obama announced just a couple of days prior that he was sending more troops to Afghanistan, was pretty appropriate to offer in my book. Prices are steep. Shirts were around 69 bucks (how sexy!) and even the caps were 45. Definitely not your discount warehouse. So it's for the super-hip crowd with disposable income to burn. Still, if it can survive the economic downturn and do enough promotion, it'll survive and become a major fixture on the Venice strip. read more

only made for yuppies ....overpriced...who pays 70 dollars for a t shirt? yuppie posers thats who....supposedly this is owned by a surfer girl...any true soul surfer who gets the true meaning would not overcharge for a shirt that says pray for surf...it just does not feel right...sure it looks authentic like the old OP...but Op shirts were maybe 12 bucks in the 80's...and i know they are not mass produced in china..and thats good of course..and yes of course that is a reason why these clothes wont be billabong prices etc....but 70 bucks for a tshirt is laughable....but hey if you can become a millionaire selling surf culture to yups...thats cool...just know you dont get it read more

i was a big fan until i ordered a pair of sweatpants and UPS botched the delivery prior to Xmas. i asked that they be returned to the company, prior i had called and was told they would credit me when rec'd and post the credit.. several days after xmas i checked an noted that the pants had been rec'd at the address on the box. i called again and got voice mail, i did this repeatedly-- no answer and no return call for days. finally called the mgr of the store and was told the customer service people were on holiday. off duty the week before and after xmas in retail?? crazy!! after many calls and a few more days i finally got the credit. additionally, although the sweat pants are super soft and flattering, they need a lot of attention. i have repaired 5 of the pairs i own at $10 each because of weak construction (my opinion) around the huge pockets best to go to the store and not rely on their "customer service" dept. examine the pockets closely before buying read more

Walked into the store. Horrible costumer service... The workers don't help you find anything. Just sit around talking to one and other. I bought a hoodie. What a piece of poorly made junk. Fell apart after 2 washings. When I brought it back, the manager just laughed in my face. The only way this stuff is going to last for years, if you let it hang in your closet and don't wear it. read more

This place is as good as it gets!! The clothing is extremely comfortable, and the designs are super cool. Not to mention, the staff are friendly. Every time I go in the store, it is hard to decide what I want because there are so many options. Super fun to visit because there is a ping pong table and a patio in the back too read more

It's a great store with a retro feel. I'm visiting from the east coast and found the store well stocked with both items from the website and items no longer found online! I have purchased online for years and it was great to actually put a face with a name from customer service! Weather purchasing online or in person the staff was happy to help! I can't wait for the new line! Softest shirts/sweats on the market!!! While I agree they are pricey you definitely get what you pay for in today's clothing market... read more

$108 for sweat pants??? wahhhh! i do love the cute and colorful attire here. alas, i will have to wait until bonus time at the end of the year to indulge on supersoft sweats. read more

I love their hoodies and I went into this store to grab one plus a couple of the beach towels my friend had bought. The guy working the front computer area was so rude, my friend and I both left. We complimented his candle then tried to ask a question, he didn't even look up. Totally disappointing bc I was really wanting a towel but I would rather support the stores in Venice that still have the local friendly feel. read more

I have shopped at Aviator Nation in Venice a few times and every time has been exceptional! I love the atmosphere and the people who work there are completely awesome! Yesterday I went as I was visiting from Missouri so I wanted to stock up. I ended up buying a t-shirt, (on the sale rack which they do have on occasion for all of your who shriek at the prices,) a pair of sweats and a new hoodie! They were super helpful in finding my sizes and answering all of my questions and weren't pushy once in trying to make sales. When it was time to pay, the gentleman a the counter, I believe his name was Joshua Gonzales (what my receipt said) was charming and as pleasant as they come! I know people tend to hate on the prices but honestly, I have a good amount of this line and have been nothing but satisfied with it! It's soft and comfy so the haters can keep on hating while myself and everyone else that knows whats up enjoys our fresh stylin duds! Thanks to the crew at the Venice Aviator Nation for always making it a great experience! read more

Two summers ago I worked in California. I came across this brand as I was window shopping in Fred Segal while at Umami Burger, which is an absolutely fantastic burger joint. After googling it, I found out that their main store is located in Venice. Unfortunately, due to a busy schedule I ended up visiting the same day I was scheduled to fly home back to New York and the store was closed. The store looked very well decorated and fun so I was sad that I couldn't go. This year I decided to treat myself to some clothes purchased from their website. When I received the clothes for some reason I received a double order and the size didn't fit right so I decided to exchange it. I filled out the return form with my concerns and mailed the clothing back. I was very concerned as I was charged double on my credit card on this order. Well I was extremely surprised that on New Years Eve I received a phone call from one of their very professional and kind associates, Henry who received my return form and called to discuss the situation to ensure I receive the appropriate product and credit back to my account. Well sure enough today I received my exchanged merchandise and a credit for the correct amount. I was very happy with the quality and fit of the clothing. I am impressed with the customer service and ability to rapidly resolve the issue, no less on a holiday! I gave one less star due to the price on their items. As I said this was a treat for me and luckily I caught one of their flash sales! read more
