    As someone who is difficult to fit, I was dreading buying new clothes. Upon arrival, I was made to…read morefeel completely at ease while Francis and Matthew took my measurements, found my size, marked my garments for tailoring, and honored my preferences, These men know fine clothing and have the inventory to serve practically all sizes. From suits through to casual wear, shoes and belts and socks and cuff links. They have it all. Tailoring is done on-site with quick turnaround, and pricing is fair for the quality. Highly recommend making an appointment for attentive, top-notch service.

We just came in to browse, and when at the blazer section she came over to tell us that they were too big. She continued to somehow be in the same vicinity we were, and the store is big so she was obviously following us, and "straightening" the already straight clothes. She whispered something to the other owner, and he came over to tell us that we can't use our phones to take pictures because his merchandise is "one of a kind" and "no one makes them". I was using my phone to look up other places to explore around the area, since we're new college students. Then he continued to ask our knowledge in suits and brands, and criticized us saying to my partner that "you must shop at Old Navy. You don't know men's fashion". Overall, they came off rude and pushy. Do not recommend. The items looked cheap like resale items. Service made us not want to come back period. Very overbearing.

    After more than 186 years the Rich family is no longer majority shareholder of the iconic American…read moreclothing brand, Woolrich. Globalization and weak domestic financial fundamentals, has changed the Pennsylvania born first American outdoor clothing manufacturer into an international consortium of Italian, Japanese and Luxembourgesee financiers, with only a small fraction retainer by the original founders. But, that doesn't have to mean that the historic design and value proposition is no longer relevant. It certainly is. Established in 1830 in Plum Run, Carbon County, north central PA, their well known red and black pattern fabrics were worn by generations of outdoorsmen and women, who appreciated hunting, fishing, hiking and snow sports. By the late 20th Century they had honed their craft into household goods like beautiful blankets, and personal dress like flannel shirts and wool sweaters, in addition to Artic Parkas made with technological fabrics and eco sustainable materials. That is where I came in. With family in Westmoreland County southeast of Pittsburgh, the small mountain town of Mount Pleasant saw its heyday during the era of King Coal. Now a shadow of its former self, one of the surviving retail establishments on Main Street is Saloom's, a store dedicated to the outdoor life. Boots, knives, ammunition, fishing gear and a back room floor to ceiling with autumn and winter wear, most with the Woolrich label, has been attracting me to buy my flannels and woolies there for decades. A large part of my wardrobe was lovingly scouted and secured right where local mountain folk had been dressing themselves for generations. All that, and 10% discount just because our families go way back. My Bucks friends don't know about this aspect of my life, but they wouldn't recognize me when I'm in the woods with the cousins and bro-los in my Woolrich garb with a long gun slung over my shoulder looking for antler points or chasing bear away from the mountain lodge. So, very sorry that the Rich family had to unload their holdings to survive and become more financially liquid. But, from where I sit, their clothing is as good as it ever was, even if some of it now speaks with European tongues.

    Went to get a suit for a wedding 5 weeks prior to the event. Was greeted by an aloof saleswoman…read morewhile browsing, who maybe needed some coaching in retail and time management. ANYWAY lady took the size, and stated that I was a 42. (I have never worn a 42 jacket in my life and ended up purchasing a large poorly fitted 40). The pants were next. 34. No- i tried on a 30 in another fabric and same style that fit like a glove. The lady said that she could only order me a 31 pant, because that was all that was left. There were also no 38 jackets. The lovely in-store tailor was wonderful and felt like she could make it work. I was very clear about what I was looking for. A week later the pieces came in and I came in for a fitting. A gentleman greeted me this time. I put the pieces on, and he said "we have this fabric available for a custom suit, is that something you were interested in?" Yes. How long will it take? And how much? "3-4 weeks. I wouldn't risk it now. You should have ordered last week when you were in." Clearly annoyed, I explained that I was never given that option and told that this was my only option, and that prices are very similar after the extensive tailoring." He said he was sorry. It wasn't his fault. I returned the following week for a try-on after the tailoring was complete. I was greeted by the original saleswoman from the first visit. I told her who I was and that I got a call that my suit was ready. *blank stare in return*. The gentleman went to retrieve the suit. The lady said, "where is your stuff?". What stuff? "Your dress shoes, and dress shirt. How do you think we see if things fit, if you don't bring them." (Would have been helpful to know before coming, that I couldn't use the try-on shirts and shoes that are sitting by the dressing room; it was not in the voicemail). I tried on the suit, was unhappy with the fit. The saleswoman said while walking away "well, its this or you wouldn't match the groomsmen." I explained to her that I could have purchased a custom suit if she had mentioned it on my first visit. She scoffed and said "maybe in a different color. They don't make it with this fabric". I asked her to check and she said "You're right. Its the one overlap in our system. Maybe you can come back and get the custom jacket you want after the wedding." I heard her talking to the other associate. Katalina came over to talk with me and was lovely. I will not be returning and will recommend this store to no-one. I should just have the bride call and have them explain why the suit fits poorly. C'est la vie.

    After a first not-too-pleasant experience, I went back. The manager is very nice & professional…read more I'm a middle-aged, foreign, short man. The first time I went there, I was greeted by a very young lady with the question, "how tall are you?" Well, I'm obviously short; was the question supposed to be a joke? One may even wonder about the very wisdom of having young women as salespersons at a store for men -- does Victoria's Secret have a lot of male employees selling women's underwear to women? I just found the whole experience unpleasant. But the second time, dealing directly with the manage, was a different story. State College has very few options for anything, left alone clothing. Jos A Bank is just fine, particularly in the context of this town.

    It's always interesting to tour a mall that has died and is actively attempting to resurrect…read moreitself. Give or take 35 storefronts that are occupied. That's if you count the non-retail establishments as viable locations to visit in a mall. I did take a stroll around the mall just to get a feel of the layout. It is a fairly decent sized mall, and I can see this place being busy back when it first opened and years beyond that. But like one reviewer has stated in a prior review, once stores started open up on the main drag through town which make those stores more accessible to the university students, the mall started to decline. Along my route through the mall I did make multiple stops along the way. Into and out of a few select stores. An oddity of this mall is that there is no food court or any type of eatery to speak of. That could be chalked up to the year that it was originally built, 1968. But that does not explain why they didn't think about this with each of the expansions they did on this mall. You could have at least thought about having a food court in one of the wings. Enough with the depressing thoughts about this place. There seems to be some light at the end of this very narrow tunnel. Each of the vacant anchor stores have already been filled, or will be filled shortly. Although, when you think of anchor stores, you don't think of those stores as your typical anchor store. But when you think about it, when you think of a mall now, they do not reflect what a typical mall is. Maybe with the addition of the mini casino here soon that will draw some stores. Whether it be a wonky national chain or a local spot that sees the potential. Only time will tell.

    Nittany Mall is troubled and there's no way around that. It's too far away from the university and…read moredoesn't have the trendier shopping and dining options North Atherton Street does. Externally, the mall around the former Bon-Ton looks massively out of date. The mall is also small for an area with such a large population. Parking lot is in surprisingly good shape except for parts around the former Macy's. Every anchor since 2015 has left Nittany Mall, with the only replacement being Dunham's Sports. Rural King is to open in the former Sears at a TBD date. Nittany's layout is similar to the now closed Phillipsburg Mall in New Jersey. Interior was clearly renovated at some point as the mall has a 90's color scheme. Nittany's interior is in surprisingly good shape with almost no water damage, a common sight in a mall like this. Tenant mix is that of a dying mall. Several national chains still call the mall home, but those are mixed among the many empty storefronts. Several local businesses have space here. Planet Fitness has no mall entrance, a bad thing for the amount of space they occupy. A local senior center also uses space. Mall does have a bookstore, Bradley's Book Outlet. Nittany Mall has no food court. I would estimate Nittany Mall will not be open in five years, but some of the anchors might. After seeing this mall in person, it would also be a challenge to de-mall portions of Nittany without significant investment. The current owners, Namdar Realty Group, do not make those investments, making the future of the mall uncertain.
