Ninety minutes before I had to check for my flight, I visited the Park Road store with my empty roller bag. The store had good selections and Caroline, my favorite staffer, stepped up to work her magic . After an intensive hour of sorting options, I had a stellar collection of nicely fitting gear from head to toe. Our selections worked great for my winter trip and I'm still enjoying my gear. Heartfelt kudos to Caroline and the entire team at Great Outdoor Provisions. I can't imagine any other place in Charlotte where pro staff would gear me up with humor and brisk purpose. Thanks for making my crazy shopping surge, fast, fun, friendly and laser focused. With warm appreciation, Lee

The Patagonia store in South End Charlotte is a large, beautifully designed retail space and…read moredefinitely worth stopping into if you're already exploring the area. The store itself is spacious and well organized, with a good selection of Patagonia's outdoor apparel and gear. Everything is displayed nicely and the environment feels clean and inviting, making it easy to browse. That said, the pricing is full retail, and Patagonia products can be pretty expensive. Coming from the San Francisco Bay Area where Patagonia outlet stores are more common, I'm used to finding better deals. Because of that, I'm a bit hesitant to pay full price and tend to compare with other outdoor retailers like REI, where you can sometimes find similar gear at more competitive prices. The South End location itself is lively and fun to explore, with lots of nearby restaurants, coffee shops, and dessert spots. It's a great area to walk around and make a few stops while you're there. Parking can be a bit challenging in South End, especially during busy times, so plan accordingly. Insider tip: If Patagonia runs a seasonal sale, this would be a great place to come back and browse again. Overall, a nice store in a great neighborhood--definitely worth a look if you're already shopping or dining in South End.

The shoes had no visible signs of wear and I paid $34.83 for a $100 pair of shoes! Woo hoo! That is what I call a bargain. I also picked up a pair of long Novara bicycle pants for cooler weather for $20 and a shirt for $7. Although we were not among the first in line, I was quite pleased with my purchases. Those shoes were waiting for my hands to pick them up and they rendered a perfect fit! Had we been among the first inside, I'm sure I would have picked up items that I didn't really need. Oh, I also got an all weather, 3-piece coat (White Sierra) for the little one - just $30. Note: Staff members were knowledgeable about the items in their section of the store.

We went to Macy's and Nordstrom's to see if I could buy anything off the shelf.......nothing. I found Ole mason Jar Clothier online and walked the few blocks to their wonderful store. We were greeting by Brad and Filipe and explained my dilemma. Now think about this for a moment........I asked them at 11:00 am if there was any chance that I could buy a suit and just have the pants altered or pinned up for a wedding that was happening that day at 5:00 pm. The answer was "Yes, we can make that happen." I was shocked. Filipe asked what size I was and I answered a 46 regular........Brad looked at me and said put him in a 44 reg. It fit better than any suit I have ever owned. All of their clothes are their own brand and designed by them. Their material, stitching, and cut, were beautiful. I was measured and handed the suit back to Filipe. He bolted to the seamstress. My wife and I had lunch and the suit was ready in less that 2.5 hours. As one of my first experiences purchasing products from a business reopening during Covid I must tell you that it was such a grand experience. These guys represent EVERYTHING GREAT about business ownership. They cared about my situation, produce a fantastic product, and delivered with a huge smile. I am an OMJ lifer. Thanks Guys
