I've been going to FMJ for little over 6 years now and all I can say is, if you haven't visited…read morealready and you're in the area. You're missing out. The crew there is always on top of it. I became a regular at the store and sadly moved away in the beginning of 2025. But I still purchase items for work through them because the prices cannot be beat. FMJ is like no other military surplus store I've ever been to. The selection is better than anything I've seen. Over the years I've collected many different items. Some for work, others for my home office collection. But every time I enter the store, for better or worse I always leave with something. They stay busy on social media as well and are very interactive. Check them out on Instagram if you have one, sometimes you can see some of the surplus on there before it hits their shelves. Easiest 5/5 stars I've ever given. Next time I'm in the DMV I will be stopping by. It's tradition at this point.

Very well executed. The store is very clean and well organized. The most eye catching items I noticed in the store were the grenades and the set of bullets from the 1800s. I selected one grenade for purchase.

I'm not sure why some reviewers are so tough on Joelle. She is a hard working entrepreneur,…read moreoffering a hand selected high end product. She doesn't want people grabbing and ruining her clothes. It's not like some chain store where she can send damaged goods back to corporate. I strolled in a few weeks ago, for the first time, looking for a dress to wear to a wedding. Joelle was all over me, in a good way. She seemed to have a blast pulling dresses that she thought would fit my body well. She was very complimentary when dresses fit nicely and she was straightforward (but never rude) when she thought I could do better. She loves the clothes in her store and sees them as wearable art. If I'm going to spend my money on something like a cocktail dress, I do appreciate a tailored and personalized experience. I felt that Joelle genuinely wanted me to walk out of her store happy and return again. Which I will.

My heart goes out to anyone who innocently walks into this store to browse like my girlfriend and I…read moredid this weekend. We got the same confusing speech as everyone else, were told that we had nice legs - but "not in a gay way" even though "god loves the gays." We we're trapped and eventually I just walked out while she rambled on about how poor American healthcare is. Why has no one mentioned the smell? It smells like my great aunts house in there. We left BAFFLED by the experience. Absolutely no idea how this place is still open if no one is allowed to shop.

They offer a spectacularly curated and frequently updated selection of some of the best labels, particularly the Adams Morgan location. I hadn't been back since 2022--far too long. During this most recent visit last week I was refitted and tried on at least a dozen bras, lingerie, and corsets. Ursula and Ashley were amazing--helpful, patient, and genuine hype girls (over the course of 2+ hours of indecision). They took turns bringing things based on what I picked out, my updated size, and whatever else caught their expert eye, and helped me get in and out of the corsets as needed. We even talked must-have skincare at one point!

First, I walked into the store and I saw this old lady (I think she is the owner) sitting behind…read morethe counter. She never greeted or welcome me into her store. I waited and waited to ask her a question and she finally acknowledged me. After I asked my question she said it's in back. I felt this lady was not helpful. I said something to the lady about an item in the store and she ignored me. She was a piece of work. Time for her to retire.

They also carry a sizable array of interesting, one of a kind jewelry, and gorgeous scarves. So glad they survived the pandemic! I bought a jacket that will take me from the office to dinner out afterwards in a creative yet very comfy fabric. It's well worth a trip when you're in Old Town.

The shop is deceptively long and has much to offer in terms of clothing, jewelry, knick-knacks, and home decor. I learned a customer favorite are their comfortable cotton shirts, and you might find a few on sale in the back! The workers are kind and welcoming. For value, there is something for every wallet, and the quality is reliable.

After that, I sampled some Equal Exchange coffee and browsed the jewelry area. They were accommodating and helped me find something I was seeking. I ended up purchasing a couple of beautiful, unique, and fairly traded items for myself, at good prices. I will always stop by here when seeking something to gift "people who have everything" and/or who have selective taste. My very picky grandmother is overjoyed whenever I gift her something from here.

It's a tiny store but every nook and cranny is filled with children's clothes, books, toys and shoes. Everything is very stylish and well curated (and also a bit expensive too! The outfits here are more for stepping out and not your average Carter's layettes). If you are looking for a unique and fun gift for a baby shower, this is the place to go! If you are looking for deals, they will sometimes open up the consignment shop next door and I've seen some awfully cute dresses that would look great on a holiday card! They are also offering a deal on Yelp where you can get $20 worth of items for $10 which I'll have to take advantage of soon!

You can find hot clothing items here like Morgan & Milo shoes, Aunt Polly clothing and Robeez. There is certainly a wide variety of stuff here to sort through. I have found great girl's clothes here as well as some of my maternity wear. TIP: Although they bill themselves as a consignment store, Purple Goose also sells new items at top price. So, look carefully!

Over the…read morelast four months I have had three separate leather items repaired, cleaned and re-stiched/seamed. I had a leather jacket and two purses repaired. Bar none, the repairs were the best I have ever had done anywhere! The quality was outstanding! Their attention to detail is not something I see anymore. On all three repairs they found extra items that needed TLC and did them without extra charges. The staff is always friendly too. I would rate them 4 & 1/2 stars on their workmanship if I could. I would give Casmera 5 stars if they were not so in demand and took longer than expected for all the jobs. That is a great problem to have. Also, striving toward better communication with their customers about the repairs would definitely give them five stars. Don't go anywhere else. Go to Casmera. They were out of the way for me, but so worth it!
