Overall I'm a bit disappointed at the NYC Bandit brick-and-mortar stores. Over the years, I used to show up during early member hours to pick up the pieces I've wanted and stock was never an issue . I've shown up right at opening the last two releases and had items I wanted just not be stocked in my size. Leads to a super frustrating experience as the online stock also sells out almost immediately for sought after the pieces.
The gear, for the most part outside of some dye bleeding issues for some pieces, are quite premium. However, it has been an absolute headache the last few seasons trying to get anything despite paying for membership. Scarcity of stock has always been an issue with Bandit and feels like it's just getting worse which make it feel like it's more of a feature than a bug. Hopefully they'll manage to continue to scale production to meet demand, but for now I'm really disappointed with how things have been going the past couple cycles.
The storefront itself is fine. I'll the workers generally keep to themselves unless you have questions or ask for a specific size. Works fine for me, but I know others maybe find it a little standoffish for a brand that's definitely priced more on the premium end of sportswear.
TL;DR - Don't expect there to be any stock of sought after items even if you show up on new release days. read more
