If you are in the market very incredibly high quality tactical gear from a company that is committed to getting you the best-possible product, then you should definitely consider Tactical Tailor.
Though I have not personally been IN the Tactical Tailor retail store, I have purchased quite a few of their goods online through their website (http://www.tacticaltailor.com/index.aspx) and through other providers such as SKD Tactical.
As such I cannot comment on the inventory in store, but I can say that the gear I have purchased so far has been great. To date I have purchased a thigh holster, dump bag, AK/AR Mag pouch, pistol mag pouch, MOLLE thigh panel, tactical vest, hydration system, and finally one of their flagship items, an upgraded version of the ALICE pack known as the MALICE (version 3 kit).
All of those items have lived up to my expectations and I highly recommend each one of them. The MALICE is incredible. The improved belt, straps, and frame are awesome. If you were in the market for an improved ALICE, but did not want to purchase the entire system, the straps, belt, and frame would be a good way to go, though I really like the actual bag itself. It's huge, has more pocket space, is very water repellent, and the 1000D Nylon material feels pretty much indestructible.
The only con I would like to mention on the MALICE is that it does not come with the internal radio pouch like the original ALICE. I called and talked to them about it and they said that is a modification they can add, but they do not offer it standard at this time (maybe they will in the future?). Not a deal breaker for me, but if it's a must-have and you're considering the MALICE you might talk to them beforehand and ask about adding the radio pouch. Who knows, maybe they'll throw one in for free?
One of the items I purchased, the dump bag, was in their "fight light" category of gear, and it lives up to the description. It is very light, and folds up into a very small space when not being used so as to stay out of the way. Check all that out.
Customer service on the phone has been great with Tactical Tailor. To ask questions and get information on specific items I have actually talked the customer service folks over there about four times now, and they have always been very helpful and pleasant. It has also been nice to get the same person over and over for the most part, giving it a lot more personal feel instead of feeling like I'm dealing with some giant call-center in who-knows-where-istan. read more
