I read the online reviews and honestly, it almost scared me away. What brought us in, was that my…read moredaughter is itty bitty and we needed to make sure that the jacket fit her. We were immediately greeted and helped. We were shown an array of selections and taken to try on the jacket. The counter had a breakdown of the patch prices and other upgrades. I paid $560 and I feel that that is a fair price for the quality of the jacket and the upgrades we selected. We will have a longer turn around and that was because we made a custom selection with the full knowledge that it would take an extra week. The only rude interactions I perceived in store, were parents coming in without understanding the prices and snapping at the teenagers' selections and the poor workers. I saw it with my own eyes. Shawn helped us and he was full of price transparency & knowledge. As we made selections, he'd point to the prices on the counter to show me the difference. He also made suggestions on colors and patches that we loved and went with. We all shared a few laughs and honestly, I feel like my daughter and I had so much fun designing her jacket. Beautiful memories. Thank you Shawn and First String Sports. I will always recommend your store.

I came in here because the athletic director from Hoover high school told me to come here. She said they were good and my kid would get their jacket by Christmas and snarked at the other business. I originally was gonna go to. Which is.Which is Jostens. A guy helped me with the order and I mentioned we were told to come here instead of Jostens and I said the price of the jacket there total $350 he laughed and said our jackets gonna be wayyyy more. As if it was funny. THE JACKET CAME OUT TO OVER $600! After all was said and done I gave in out of pure me being a mom. IYKYK. I am so disappointed that they are ripping off students and parents this way. $150 for embroidery? Jostens includes it! $175 for a varsity jacket to start. That's way better then $250 starting After I said I was a single mama doing it alone and my mother who just passed has the patches somewhere and it was a very emotional process for us. I was met with coldness and jokes like this guy was just happy screwing people out of money. The guy also bad mouthed the other company laughingly saying the guy stitches it himself and it's bad work. So rude and unprofessional. I will tell everyone I know not to go here! All the one star reviews are accurate. That other owner of Jostens is sweet and kind. That is valued over the experience I had here at first string sports. The only thing that worked out there is the manager gave me money back and wasn't rude. So do not go here go to Jostens. Don't listen to the schools they have some secret agreement with them most likely. I complained to fusd as well. I see why most students don't get a jacket it's highway robbery.

I noticed only men were being greeted . There were probably at least 5 workers hanging around the registers talking to each other as customers walked by.

I needed to rent three tuxedos for a wedding--two men's sizes and one child's size. We only needed…read morethe jacket and pants for each person. After getting quotes from several places in town, both for renting and buying, Black Tie offered the best value, so we decided to go with them. On my first visit, a young lady helped me. She was courteous and professional, knowledgeable, and able to answer all of my questions. We came back a few weeks later to reserve the tuxedos and get everyone measured. Two young men helped us that day, and we were given a higher price than the original quote. When I mentioned the price the young lady had given me, they honored the original quote without any issue. I appreciated that. Because one of the men couldn't make it to the fitting with the rest of us, he went in separately at a later time. An older gentleman helped him and, not knowing that I had already paid the deposits, had him pay a deposit for his tuxedo. Later, when I was paying the remaining balance, the total initially came out differently from what I had calculated. I pointed this out, and after checking the numbers with a calculator, they agreed that my total was correct. I don't believe any of these discrepancies were intentional. Since we were helped by different people at different times, it seemed like there may have been some communication or record-keeping issues regarding the original quote and payments already made. I would just recommend keeping track of your quotes and payments, especially if different members of your party are coming in separately. The store is small but has a good variety of suits and tuxedos on display. There are fitting rooms and comfortable chairs, which made the process easy for everyone. The men and the boy tried on different items until they found what fit them best. The staff assisting us were helpful throughout the fitting process. Overall, the rental process from beginning to end was pretty smooth. Everyone we worked with was professional and helpful, and we were happy with the value and service we received.

Severely dissatisfied and disappointed with the tux we rented for my son's prom. We always came…read morehere to rent tuxes and never had an issue until now. You can see in the pictures that they gave us the last tux available and just did a half ass job. The tie and the vest were worn out. One cuff link broke on the spot as we were trying to put them on, the back of the jacket was dirty with a white spot of god knows what, and the sleeve was wrinkled. This was an upsetting experience and I was embarrassed for The Black Tie. To rent out a tux in that condition. Shame on you guys!! My son ended up wearing a tie instead of the bow tie. Do better on quality control, Black Tie!! I should've gotten my money back because tux rentals are not cheap. Needless to say, I think next time we'll look elsewhere. I spoke to a guy who works there and he apologized and I appreciate it but it doesn't do anything for all of those hiccups.

When I walked in, there was Chris. I talked to him about my necklace and the problem I was having with it. I was originally going to pay more than I could afford for the replacement chain for this necklace, but then he showed me a more affordable one that not only matched the pendant but was also sweat- and waterproof. I made the payment and placed the order. When it arrived, he put it on the necklace, and it looked so good. I think my grandpa would be proud of it, and I have Chris to thank for that.
