I get my kiddo's scouting patches sewing done here and they do a great job. Their prices are reasonable and the staff is super friendly. They even helped removed patches that were "glued" on. The turnaround time is about 3-5 days. You can usually get it within a week, but I'm sure they can get things done sooner if asked. They have a HUUUUUGGGGE selection of work clothes and they have an even bigger selection of patches for scouts and other youth organizations. This store is a drive, but totally worth it. Just make sure you check their hours before heading over. read more

Mom and pop ran shop with all the Girl Scout essentials. Perfect go to store. Lots of other offerings too with embroidery read more

I have lived here for many years and neglected that poor nook in the Vons plaza. A small but mighty shopping center and quite possibly a perfect one stop shop now that I've discovered Almond Haus for my caffeine fix. I digress as I usually do. :) I saw Basics on Yelp and bookmarked it but while shopping with my son in the plaza we were on our way to get smoothies at Almond Haus and walked by Basics; he spotted a camo hat & wanted to go in. There's a whole wall of patches to your immediate right as well as a stand with blank patches that you can customize. There's a TON of work shirts, blank tees, flannels, dickies, Carhartt work boots, clothing, Girl Scout vests & pamphlets. We left with a $9.99 camo trucker and a iron on patch $1.99. The blank patches vary but the largest one I saw was $1.99. I believe the gentleman quoted me $10 on the embroidery & $2 for sewing it on. $14 for a embroidered left chest personalization is a great deal! Now to find the medium I want it sewn on. Will update the review if the quality does not meet the rave reviews from my neighbors but I have high hopes!! read more

Basics is a great neighborhood shop for all the things you need but may not know you need. We frequented this shop initially for their sewing services, they put all of my kid's Girl Scout and Cub Scout patches on as they grew up. They stock Girl Scout books, patches and vests, work shirts, dickies, various tees, flannels, stickers, work boots and more clothing. The staff is always very helpful and friendly. We appreciate this shop for the things we have needed but it's also a great place to wander around. read more

Great experience! Super quick reply, very reasonable pricing! Super kind staff, and highly appreciated their quickness, kindness, and fast turnaround! Good quality embroidery as well! read more

Last minute Girl Scout troop leader here. I was referred to Basics as my official GS orders where not available for an upcoming camp trip. I called ahead to Franco and he was kind and took the time to help me organise all the badges, pins and uniform needed. I called many time changing and adding to my order, each time Franco was more than helpful. Everything I needed he had available to pick up that day. Awesome customer services. Girl Scouts looking for a go to place for all your official badges...... Here the place, right here! Prices where the same as the official store prices too. read more

OMG this place SUCKS now. Used to be the spot back in the 90s. They'd stock every color and size of Ben's and Dickies imaginable. If they didnt have it they'd bust out a catalog and special order it for you. Now it looks like Junior and Doofus run the show. 2 colors and 3 sizes available and they dont do orders. Your average tweaker at the flea market has more variety than this place these days. What happened to Basics?! read more

Came back for another vest for the newest member of our Girl Scout, my youngest daughter. It was about the same price as Daisy vest as last year, but this time I went on a Monday mid-morning (9/23/19) and there was only one other customer. The vest size she needed was available, plus they had Greater Los Angeles and the American flag patches pre-sewn. All we needed was the troop numbers sewn on and her name embroidered (which was the main thing I wanted). I can do basic machine and hand sewing, but I've never tried embroidery. Didn't want to chance screwing it up either! Nice, fast and efficient service. Patches for days... Paid. Left the vest. Went to a nearby coffee shop. Came back and vest was complete. Definitely a fan. read more

My first mail order they purposley sent wrong item with fake tags . Did not call or email to make it right....STAY AWAY!!!!!! THEIVES read more

See all

Great selection, helpful staff and a nice location. I come from LA to Basics to get my girls their scouting patches and uniforms. Nice part too, they can embroider the patches and also personalize things. read more

This store is a blessing for north OC Girl Scout moms and leaders! They have the badges, patches, insignia and uniform basics we need without traveling all the way to GS headquarters in Irvine or paying the absurd shipping rates online. Prices are about the same but so much less stress. They'll even sew on badges for a fee. So thrilled we found Basics read more

Great place for GS supplies and sewing on badges, affordable, accurate and good service

Great Prices , I will go here for my Ben Davis shirts from now on . Highly recommended

They did such an excellent job the last time with embroidering my towels for gifts that I came back to have them do my son's. I love the way it turned out. The thread is thick and full. A lot of places out there really don't set it as nicely. I'll definitely keep coming back here for personalizing gifts. read more

Basics Clothing Store - Men's Clothing Near Me - Garden Grove, California

Fast and friendly service! Embroidered name on jacket and visor while we waited. Cost was $27.

Basics was super helpful, totally affordable and a quick turn around time on my embroidery. I recommend them!

Great place! The staff is very knowledgeable about all Girl Scouts. I bought a patch that day, and he had it completed after I had paid for it. Excellent service! I definitely recommend this place. read more

Great resource for Scouts. Really appreciate their quality work and knowledge of patch placement. They even monogramed duffle bags.

We got sweaters embroidered here for 6 dollars. We were very happy with the finished product. The employees really took their time to make sure they wrote down our requests right and they were extremely helpful and felt like they genuinely wanted to do their best. I have recommended this place to friends and family as I was really impressed with their services. read more

Really good customer service have bought pants work boots shirts and with a purchase of a Ben Davis shirt they provide free embroidery which is really cool really recommend this shop come check it out read more

This place is awesome. I came here because it was the closest place to me that sold Carhartt jeans. The people who run this place are super nice. When I was buying my jeans, I asked if they gave military discounts and they don't, but the guy wanted to give me a free beanie and then hugged me for my service! It was pretty cool. read more

I buy my daughter's Girl Scout items here, and the prices to sew the patches on are great!! My daughter's tunic also had a small tear in it, and it was fixed for a very low cost!! I love going here. Everyone is so nice and helpful. read more

I use this place for company products/logos/embroidering quite often. It may not be the cheapest around, but the service is worth it. Very friendly managers and employees (they help carry boxes to my car and thank me for my business every time!). They are fast too! Great for small businesses. *Have a check ready to be polite! read more

I got injured after the heavy medal stand holding the price tag fell and dropped on my left leg and landed on my left foot. The clerk was not trained so she continued folding clothes and starred at me just as the other customers did. I asked her why she did not come and asked what she can do for me while hearing me screening due to my pain. She said she was taking care of a previous customer. I was facing her while my injury happened so I noticed that no customer needed her attention then. Out of anger, I didn't go to the back area to ask for a first aide bandage or antibacterial pad. When I shopped at DKNY and showed my injured peeled bleeding skin, their clerks offered first aide to me. 2 hours later the bleeding part sworn and was painful. I applied Mentholatum when I returned to my car. As I tolerated my pain and wondered why the store owner had two stores but one of those two was closed a few months ago, I decided to share this painful experience with customers who have babies or little kids. That object may damage the head if landed on the head of a baby. When you're in that store, watch the medal stand by the edge of each stand, those stands are not secured. They may move and fall easily. read more

Everyone here is so friendly and helpful. I am a Girl Scout Troop leader and buy all my badges, pins, books, etc. here. I have referred many people. I also have my daughters badges sewn on her vest here. read more

All I can say is Wow! What excellent customer service! A couple of friends had recommended this place to get our brownie badges sewn onto our vest. I had been doing it by hand (thinking i was saving money) We ended up getting backed up with patches with about 10 that needed to be sewn on. So we decided to tested it this place out. All I can say is I will never sew on another patch! I spent so much time hand sewing my patches, having sore fingers and this place only charges a dollar per patch! Ready in about 10 minutes! The man at the counter was so friendly he gave my daughter a "Big Sister" patch for free since she was being a good helper, taking care of her baby sister. He also let my son pick out a year of the dragon patch so he wouldn't feel left out. I will highly recommend this place! read more

This place is great! I've gotten my daughter's Girls Scouts uniform and had patches sewn on same-day. They are very friendly!

Came here to get all the stuff I needed for my daughter for girl scouts. They have everything. Prices are reasonable and they can sew on the patches right there while you wait. Staff is friendly and helpful. read more

Recently moved out of the area and joined a new Cub Scout Pack. My son has a blanket with his name and Pack Number, along with all the patches he earned and needed to add the new Pack number. While they are a bit pricey for embroidery (6and out of our way), cam here specially to make sure the new Pack number matches. When we dropped off the blanket, were very clear what we wanted (same size, font, ribbon color) and told no problem. Picked up the blanket the next day and not happy. Font was similar, but not as thick, and ribbon color was more yellow than gold. When I expressed my displeasure, they said they bought a new machine late last year, hence the difference. Asked about a discount or partial credit, but told no as embroidery is not refundable. read more

They sent me the wrong size of jeans. Realized they were mislabeled when I compared them to several other pairs of the same style & size. After multiple communications & submission of photos documenting error, they only refunded me the cost of the item - but not the $20 I paid in delivery & return shipping. Extremely poor customer service. Highly recommend against doing business with Basics Clothing Store read more

BASICS has always been great when it comes to getting your Scout patches sewn on, but they also have a great selection of uniform clothes. If they don't have something, they can get it in for your. the family that runs it is very helpful and accommodating. read more

I love this place! They sew on all of my son's Cub Scout patches and they do it for a great price while I wait. Exactly what I am looking for. read more

3years going to this place for Girl Scout patches to be sewn. Price starts at $1.25, I haven't found any store yet with lower price. And they do it right in front of you. read more

I found them via the Internet, such a niece store very friendly anything that you can imagine, Boy Scout uniforms. They have it all. Priced outstanding. I live in foothill ranch and I make the drive to this store, just because I like the customer service. Can't go wrong. read more

I love this store. The employees here are so friendly. I come here to gave my daughter's girl scout patches sewn on. Very fast service, inexpensive, quality work, and lots if patches to choose from ... less in price than the actual girl scout store. I will be back !! Thank you Basics read more

I used to frequent this shop for my Girl Scout stuff. And now I frequent them for uniform pants and hemming. They do an excellent hemming job for a reasonable amount. Also if they don't have your size or particular fit you want, they'll order it for you at no extra cost. read more

I've been a fan of Basics for over 5 years. I've had all of my son's Cub and Boy Scout patches sewn on here and now I'm starting with my daughter's Girl Scout patches. The best part is they know where all the badges and patches should be placed. I have never had one fall off, they are sewn on tight! The store is packed with product which can be a bit overwhelming but I know what I want when I get there so I'm not distracted by it all. Most of the time I'm in and out but due to the amount of patches and workload sometimes I've had to come back to pick up my items. It's always the same day and if you leave your cell number they are good about calling you when the items are ready and they are usually earlier than the time they've quoted. Great job!! I always recommend this place to by fellow Scouting parents. read more

Do not trust the owner of this store to know how to read numbers. I went in there and asked for four pairs of size 38 Dickie shorts for my husband. He gave me one size 38 and three size 36. My bad for not checking when I got home and before I removed all the tags and put in the washer. I also bought size XL of both the black and white wife beaters. My husband has worn that size for the last 20 years. These said XL but shrunk so bad he couldn't wear them. Advice is to stick with the name brans ones. When I brought all of the items back to the store, the owner said he could not help me because I washed them. Even though he was the one to pull them from the shelf for me. So....for $128.16, I ended up getting one really nice, real expensive pair of Dickie shorts. My advice is to go somewhere else. Being a business owner myself, this is just bad business practice. read more

They managed to ruin a Boy Scout shirt after only few hours of having it in the shop to sew a couple of patches. They either left stains from their machine or food stains when they were having lunch. They declined to admin it and were very rude and unpleasant to deal with. Got a run-around to get to see the owner and than when they finally called him on the phone (spoke their language) he was absolutely negative and rude. Told us to sue him so guess that's what we are going to do. I will post this anywhere that I can possibly can and definitely get ahold of BBB. 1 star is way to generous for their attitude alone. read more

Amazingly efficient and friendly. We needed some Boy Scout patches for an official outing. I asked if I could wait and since the tailor was working on a large order was told to come back in 30 minutes. Came back and it was done. Worth the 20 mile drive for me (have you ever tried to sew patches on by hand, straight?). Plus they know where the patches belong. read more
