I used to travel to King of Prussia to Rigby and Peller, but they since only serve the NYC area. I found this store by researching good bras in Central PA. The experience was wonderful. Debbie knows her Bras and fit me perfectly with non wired bras(still in recovery from surgery). I bought 2 great bras for what I would have paid half of one for in the past. I am super pleased and will be back!

Not only did they only have one bra in my size, it was awful. The woman who helped me shamed me about my size and made me feel like a sea cow. I was very disapointed and hurt when I left this store empty handed. No one should leave a store pratically in tears.

I've been a repeat customer of Harpers over the past couple of years, and have had several custom…read moresuits and jackets made by them. Harpers is a rare gem to have in this area, and we're lucky to have them. The staff are all very fashion-forward, and are all more than capable to send you on your way looking sharper than when you came in. The store itself is very upscale, and feels like a place you'd find on Savile Row (without the Savile Row prices.) Really great seasonal selections, with a lot of well-curated accessories available. Their custom garments are where they really shine however. With hundreds of fabrics, linings, buttons, and styles to choose from, it is always a joy creating something that is uniquely yours. I'm looking forward to my next custom piece.

Unfortunately, the employee had a bad attitude and acted like it was a huge burden to set up the tailoring (and he wasn't even the one doing the alterations!). Not only that, messed up the alteration request completely and I now have an ill-fitting suit and not enough time before our event to have it re-done. Thanks.

I picked up some real surplus items at reasonable prices here, though there is some aftermarket reproductions as well. I would definitely stop in again if I was in the State College area.

The Rapid Transit staff gave me fantastic advice on shoes several years ago and I have gratefully stuck with the same brand and model since. So, obviously service is top-notch. I am also happy to share that prices are competitive with--or cheaper than--certain big box sports stores. My shoes were 20% less than the big box retailer's price. Rapid Transit also has a great selection of Penn State gear for Nittany Lion fans. Shop local. Shop quality. Shop Rapid Transit.

I came in with a concern about shin splints and discovered my issue was actually tibia pain, which the staff addressed by explaining why the pain was occurring and how the correct sneaker would address it. I wish I'd stopped in years ago. Very appreciative that we have this gem in State College.

When I bought my dress, I was thrilled to win a "free honeymoon" promotion that Formalities was…read moreoffering in-partnership with Marketing Concepts. After filling out the paperwork and sending a check deposit, as requested, I worked with a representative to book an all-inclusive trip to Puerto Vallarta for $2,435.84, which I paid in full. Three days before leaving for our honeymoon, I had a bad feeling about the whole thing. This led me to calling the resort to confirm our reservation -- which thank goodness I did -- because we discovered that the whole trip was a scam and the travel agent had stolen our money. The representative not only stated this was a case of fraud, but admitted it had been happening for months to other clients from the company. This left us without our dream honeymoon and out $1,500 in nonrefundable airfare, on top of the money paid for the trip. I notified Tracina Fisher, the owner of Formalities, in hopes of preventing this from happening to other brides. While she initially expressed sympathy and asked how she and Peter Hayes (the Marketing Concepts Representative) could help, their tone quickly changed. When I asked if their companies could help recoup the $1,500 we lost--considering this situation never would have occurred without their promotion--they became extremely rude and blamed me instead of taking accountability for putting their customer through this situation. It's devastating to lose our dream honeymoon to fraud and even worse to feel abandoned by the businesses we trusted. While we are dealing with this issue with both federal and state authorities, I strongly urge anyone considering this store or promotion to proceed with caution. This experience has caused immense financial and emotional distress, and I hope it prevents others from suffering the same.

As far as quality goes, it really depends on what you get and how much you spend. Go with your top notch gear like Under Armour and Nike, you are guaranteed quality. From hoodies, to tshirts, to shorts, they carry the whole line. Some of the embroidered hoodies are actually sweet. So sweet that I picked up two. If your pockets aren't quite as deep, then you can go with the misc brands that they carry. The t-shirts are screen printed and run under $10, and you can easily find a hoody around $20. Just don't expect too much from the quality, but then again, you get what you pay for. On top of apparel, they also carry some misc goods. You can snag some goodies for your pets, or even your golf clubs. Tons of variety here. Varying quality depending on how much you want to spend, but c'mon. You have to shell out a little more to get the best.
