Went there yesterday to drop off my furs for summer storage. It's pretty hard to find but well…read moreworth the drive (beautiful rural country roads). Checked out some new stock and tried a few on. Fell in love with one, going back to get it. They have a large selection of new and used furs and also just about any style you're looking for; jackets, three-quarter, full length, capes, vests, hats, etc. I looked at the new coats but prefer the pre-owned ones. Although more expensive than a cloth coat, it's really not that much more considering, with proper care, will give you many years of warmth and enjoyment. I purchased 2 of my furs from The Mink Barn and love them. They were both pre-owned and affordable. My coats are so warm and beautiful I am actually looking forward to winter. If you're in the market for a fur coat, or just want to browse and try some on, check out The Mink Barn in Union, Illinois, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

After that, (a couple months later when we needed more items) it went downhill fast. Emails went unanswered, deadlines passed. This year we decided to give them one more chance, thinking it was maybe just a bad year for them. Two months later, we have no order form and emails are again unanswered. We will have to start from scratch with another vendor. We have wasted a lot of time on them and now have to chase them down to get back the designs we submitted.

It's impressive how quickly I'm in and out with exactly what I need. My most recent visit was a personal one, to order new Class A's for a peer's funeral. They knew my size just by looking at me. They had my tailored items in my hand the next day. Knowing that my navy long sleeve shirt would not arrive in time, they offered to patch a short sleeve so I'd have something in time for the funeral. Quality service.

Curiosity drew my friend and I into this store. Neither one of us works in a profession where we…read moreneed uniforms. We were walking in Crystal Lake, saw this store, and said to ourselves, let's check it out. Who knew that we'd find such useful, comfortable clothes? My friend bought two pair of pants. She wanted something that she could "kick around in." These fit her perfectly. They even were available in tall (she's 5' 11"). I've talked to her since our outing, and she's crazy about these pants. She only wishes she bought more. I bought a scrubs-style top. These are available here in all sorts of crazy patterns. You would not believe how comfy this shirt is. It washes beautifully. It needs no ironing; it truly is "wrinkle-free." The clerk talked a bit about how comfortable scrubs are, and that you don't have to be a nurse or CNA to wear them. She is absolutely right. It was interesting to walk around and see the other items. If you're an Elgin police officer or fire fighter, you can buy uniforms, badges, hats and more here. You can buy several different kinds of stethoscopes. You can get shoes. If I needed shoes to live in, not for a wedding, I'd come here. You know these shoes are designed for people who spend hours and hours on their feet every day. I never dreamed I'd be a fan of a uniform store, but I am. You wouldn't come here for stylish or special events clothes. You should come here for the clothes and shoes you wear every day. I know I'll be back.

DO NOT go to Debra for your alterations. Even if she was recommended by your bridal boutique. The…read morework she did on my wedding gown was just awful. I had and am still having an awful experience with Debra. From the beginning she was hard to communicate with. At first, I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt because she had mentioned that she would be having some surgeries and would be trying to get the alterations done before then. But I regret giving her my dress at all. She never knew who I was or what she was altering for me whenever I spoke with her regarding my dress. This was a big red flag but she already had my dress. She was very forceful/rude when it came to payments being in cash only and constantly reminded me of this fact. The alterations she was going to do were adding a bustle, shortening the straps, replacing the zipper, fixing the snags on the lace, and adding cups. The buttons and hooks she added for the bustle are sloppily sewn on and make the fabric pucker and it does not lay correctly. They are also not evenly placed. There is also one hook missing. She did not shorten the straps (or she didn't shorten them enough because they still fall off my shoulders) or fix the snags. The zipper replacement was also very sloppy. You can see the zipper through my dress and it is crooked. I've spoken to another seamstress since and she confirms that the work is bad and very sloppy. As you can imagine, this was all very upsetting to me when I finally tried on my dress. Which she didn't mention that I should do before picking up the dress. My mom picked it up for me and I didn't have a final fitting. Not only was all of the sloppy work upsetting, but I also spent almost $300 on alterations that I will just have to have fixed by someone else. She also charged me for the cups to be added in but she did not finish the work. She wanted to wait to add the cups because they don't fair well in the dry cleaning process. At the time, I thought that waiting on the cups was fine because I assumed I would be going back to her to finish my alterations. I will not be returning to her for future work. I contacted Debra on more than one occasion to share my concerns and ask for a refund and her response further confirms that she does not know who I am and she does not remember my dress. She said that I had a final fitting with her and that I did not voice any of these concerns. As I stated earlier in my review, I did not have a final fitting. She never mentioned having one and rushed me to pick up the dress because she was having a surgery. Because I couldn't get there in her time frame, my mom picked up my dress for me. She did refund me the amount for the cup installation. Even if it doesn't come close to what I will have to pay to get it all fixed. I understand that she was having some surgeries but she should not have taken me on as a client if she could not deliver quality work. Debra is unprofessional and does not take the time to even try to know the client she is talking to.
