If you're thin, this store will likely work for you. The maximum jeans size they typically carry is…read morea 34" waist (you might get lucky and find a single 36"). I asked whether larger sizes were simply out of stock or not ordered at all, and was told they generally only order up to 34". The team is friendly and the prices are reasonable. I've been visiting for years and have watched the space grow. That said, the lack of size inclusivity is disappointing. If you don't care about broader size availability and fall within their range, it may be worth checking out--the shop is well curated in theory. Personally, as someone who isn't thin, I likely will not return to a store that doesn't prioritize size inclusivity.

I walk in and have a rough idea of what I want, D is the employee that helps me. He led me to 3 different jeans that were approximately the cut I wanted and I tried them all on. As I was changing he politely asked me to come out and gave his opinions on the fit and helped me make a decision. He even continued to find other jeans in various sizes and brands as I was trying on the other pairs. I was given a quality of service I've never experienced at a clothing store before and he also hemmed my pants perfectly in 5 minutes. If anyone is in the area looking for high quality denim, this shop offers a bang for buck value with excellent service. I wish I lived here to shop here regularly.

What poor customer service here. The employees who were there today could use a lot more customer service & diversity training. I'm sure that J Crew would not want to be represented in this way.
