The LL Bean by Hilldale shopping center has two entrances. One in the main shopping strip, by the…read moreuniversity bookstore, and the ather around back, with loads of parking. They have a good selection of outdoor clothes and gear, at surprisingly reasonable prices. What really impressed me were their hiking shoes selection though. Better hiking shoe selection than the REI we have. Where REI had a couple options for men's hiking shoes, LL Bean had 6+. The best part of the experience was Alex, who helped us find the right shoes for us. She was very knowledgeable in each shoe type, knowing customers preferred and disliked about each shoe, and even knowing about how the companies changed their styles! I described an issue I was feeling, and she knew why I was having that issue (loose heel feeling), and what brand would better suit my needs. Left extremely happy with my purchase! Thanks Alex!

Compounded by their proximity to campus and tons of students. They know what they are doing, so they will do a good job fixing your ride, but if you are expecting middle range prices, it would be best to go elsewhere. Including fixing flats.

First of all, the selection of Badgers clothing was boundless and loved that for me because I was there to get just that. but alas did not lol. I got a Packers shirt for myself, a Badgers shot glass and whiskey glass, and a Bucks shirt (as a gift). I legitimately walked through that store 3 separate times because I just needed everything. Honestly wish I'd gotten more things but we had other places to go. Next time.

I have spent more coin at Insignia than I care to admit. I'm fortunate enough to return to UW (my…read morealma mater) at least once per year; thus, every time I find myself in Buckyland, I must purchase at least a handful of new Badger gear. I've been told I look good in red and thanks to Insignia, my closet is always updated with UW sweatshirts and tees a plenty. This shop offers a nicely cultivated selection of women's, men's and kid's Badger gear, including a new section of Packers items as well. In addition to tees, sweats, overalls, sweatshirts, fleeces, onesies, you'll find a variety of accessories like hats, gloves, license plate frames, rally items and gifts. I'm usually quite taken with the 47 brand that ends up ringing up on the pricey side, but the fit, fashion and quality stands up over time. I have no doubt that I'll continue to overspend at Insignia for years to come. U rah rah!

I went to Old Navy, & the largest pant size I found was a 30 inch waist size, in stock! I've also looked online SEVERAL times & no luck. I've been trying for the last three/four years & today, I finally gave up with them- I don't care about pricing, I will always pay for what looks great on me! Old Navy DOESN'T cater to PLUS sized men. Old Navy is a fashion statement and only caters to the few, & the skinny. Old Navy has LOST my business with the company & I'm sure there are PLENTY out there, like myself who will no longer pay to go there. Shame on you Old Navy & Corporate. Very disappointing & shameful. I will take my business elsewhere, as I'm sure others will too.
