I placed an order for 24 hats. A $200 deposit was provided ( agreement was that upon completion I would pay remaining $200 balance) I inquired on the process of design, specifically approving design before my order was completed. Upon communication initiated by me, after 2.5 weeks I was sent a picture ( attached). I was concern on the logo placement- As it was almost touching the top stitching of the hat. On the initial communication we discussed the details of the design and color and while neither party ever discussed the detail of the logo not touching ( or nearing) the seam/stitching, I did provide a sample of a previous design where the logo was centered at all angels. Upon further discussion we were not able to reach an agreement to fix or obtain any merchandise for my $200 deposit. Stitched industries kept my $200 without providing any merchandise or fix. I was not willing to pay additional money (which was the optioned offered) for a design that did not look professional and I would not retail as this would represent my brand. In addition I felt there was a significant miss on the business by not having a set approval process and allowing me to approve or view the design and placement of the logo prior to mass producing 24 hats. Extremely disappointed we were not able to reach an agreement or fix and that I was out $200.

OK, well besides…read moreFRESH BERRY PIE with VANILLA BEAN ice cream or APPLE CIDER I'm not "jumping at the chance" to purchase ANYTHING in this small (yet absolutely adorable) mountain town. To Julian's defense I'm very aware they draw many tourists. I think when many of us are in "TOURIST MODE" we buy items of pure garbage...we just can't help it! So items like: janky John Wayne clocks, GIANT stuffed bald eagles, candy corn, cap guns, questionable art, HELLA questionable outfits, nick-knacks and "old West" maps that lead you to certified FOOLS GOLD are not a TRUE reflection of our buying behavior. Ahh shucks who am I kidding... I almost bought that John Wayne clock! Now when I happened across "Tucker's Treasures" my heart began to race...did I finally find a store where I could shop to my heart's content? Ummm...simply put NO. On the outside a dirty Julian sweatshirt was for sale. OK...that's a strange. So we made our way inside... it was all kinda hard to take in at once. To be honest "thrift store like" OR just REALLY odd was my first impression. Actually, words would not truly express my "retail first impression" I experienced here so I went ahead and included a few photos for your YELP enjoyment.

It starts from $30 for standard tour and go up to $50. For example: as they mentioned $30 (Wolf Conservation), $45 (Behavioral Enrichment), and $50 (Specialty) per person via website.
