Well that excitement didn't last much longer than beyond the entrance. The store had nice appeal when you first step in, but not much to offer and ordering their items online is the same price or cheaper. I'm not sure why anyone would come to this store versus ordering online. There seems to be no real incentive here.

Hats are Okay; Shirts & Service are Horrible…read more I bought a SL Revival hat years ago at a local outfitter. I recently decided to order another hat and some shirts directly from SL Revival online. While shopping online, I thought the prices were a bit on the high side but I decided to give them a try anyway. Talk about a mistake! After they arrived, I was extremely disappointed by the quality, especially considering the price I paid. Given the high price tag for a basic silk screened t-shirt, I would have anticipated a decent quality shirt, like the US-made ones you get from Black Rifle Coffee Company for that price (or less). Instead, I received three shirts, each from a different company in a third world country. As such, despite ordering all three shirts in "Large," the sizing of each shirt was varied widely. Two of the shirts had a very rough texture and all three featured poor quality collars - the type that stretch out and sag after a few washes. Overall, they reminded me of the cheap Hanes or Fruit of the Loom silk screened shirts sold at Walmart... very disappointing. I contacted the company via email stating that I would like to return the shirts based on my perceived quality quality of the product. The response I received from an employee who refused to provide their name was less than professional. Clearly, my concerns about the poor quality struck a nerve. Rather than take my explanation for why I wanted to return my purchase as constructive criticism, they got defensive. When I asked for their name, they refused, instead simply stating that they were the "manager." When I then asked to correspond with the owner, they immediately ceased all communication. Bottom line, this place peddles uncreative designs on super cheap clothing for a considerable markup. If that's you're thing - cool. Just don't expect decent quality goods or customer service.

I noticed several red flags that suggest the jewelry was not authentic. The pieces were noticeably lightweight and felt cheaply made, unlike the substantial, well-crafted pieces characteristic of genuine Chanel jewelry. The "CHANEL" logos and stamps on the items were poorly etched and unclear, a common sign of counterfeit goods. The prices for these items were far below what one would expect for genuine designer jewelry, which immediately raised suspicion.
