An Urban Outfitters knockoff, Hobbs…read moresucceeds in finding a style meant for the hip college kids that are looking for sarcastic, ironically cool and tragically stylish stuff to fill their material thirst. Really, Hobbs has all their bases covered with witty books, useless cool must-haves like nose cups (when you drink it looks like you have a funny nose) or flasks hidden inside a diary book, and of course, clothes. The women's section featuring styles modeled after Paris Hilton and the guy's much more cool and metro. They even have a baby section, with onesie's from American Apparel and and Paul Frank. Quirky and cute, this place is fun to browse. If you have a younger sibling that's high school or college age, I'm sure there's something you can pick up for them. Otherwise, shop with an open mind and you'll crack yourself up trying not to laugh out loud.

Wild Man Vintage is the real deal. If it's not at least 25 years old and carrying the ghost of a…read moremixtape breakup, it didn't make the cut. It bleeds personality--pure, unfiltered vintage glory. Every piece has a story, a vibe, maybe even a past life in a punk band. Dripping with legit retro energy, it doesn't dabble in throwbacks; it mainlines them straight to your soul. First time stepping in, I was hit with a full blast of cool. Effortlessly hip, unapologetically chill, peak Lawrence, Kansas. It's giving local legend, not tourist trap. I didn't buy anything--today. But wandering around was a blast. Every corner packed memories I forgot I had. This isn't just a shop; it's a time machine wrapped in flannel and funk. The guy working was a gem--super sweet. I wanted to give him my business. Next time, I'm not leaving without something that carries its own breakup anthem.

I sent the boy in to this Men's Wearhouse location in order to get some new professional wear for…read moreupcoming interviews and the like. He was able to navigate this on his own, which is usually not the easiest thing for him to do, and he had great selection & pretty good service. While the prices of most things are going up, he stepped out of this location with a pair of new dress shirts and a pair of slacks that ran him over $220. That's a little steep, and while he got things that fit him (teen bodies change a lot), it's still a little much. I was certainly happy with the look(s) that he got with his new threads, and while I didn't mind paying the bill, I still think we could've gotten similar products for less elsewhere. That is not to say that Men's Wearhouse does not provide value; it's more to say that you're going to pay a little bit more where the selection is broad. Easy to park, easy to get in, good service, and lots of selection, and a good experience overall. The boy ended up looking dapper and landing an internship, and like I told him, when you look confident, you feel confident. Men's Wearhouse definitely helped with that.

We returned the following Saturday to pick up my boyfriend's tuxedo for the Gala. As he goes to try…read morethe tuxedo on, we realize the suit jacket and pants are two completely different colors and no vest was included (though it was requested). At this point, my boyfriend questioned if the sales associate did this out of spite since we chose to rent a tuxedo instead of buy a suit from him. While this was extremely frustrating, the store Manager Keegan did everything he could to correct the situation. First he located pants that were the correct fit and color to pair with the suit coat, then he had his in-store alterations person make the adjustments onsite, and he was able to locate a completely different vest and tie for the ensemble that still paired well with my gala gown. We greatly appreciate Keegan and all he did to assist us, but wish we would have had a decent experience in the first place with the original sales associate.

Even though it's old and local there are some very cool things in this store. Weavers has a wide selection of many different items- clothing, makeup, shoes, home goods, luggage. From the street it doesn't look that large but it's huge inside. So much packed in this store. I always love coming here because it's the kind of store that makes you feel special. There is a personalized touch to this store and they get to know you by name. The only drawback is the parking situation and it's not Weavers fault. Parking in downtown Lawrence should be an Olympic event. However, to get the reward of going to Weavers, you gotta brave the parking downtown. The prices are very reasonable and the merchandise is very contemporary. There's something for everyone at Weavers.

I like the quality of the items at Kohl's, too. They carry established and proven brands which gives me comfort. I will never forget when my father passed away. I was out of town and I had to hustle to find something to wear. I went to Kohl's and found just what I needed. the process was quick, painless and I ended up with a nice outfit. I will always be grateful to Kohl's for helping me out of a tight spot. Quality, great prices, good service and awesome variety. Love me some Kohl's.

It's Kohl's. What do you expect from a large chain department store?…read more They've got some decent clothes, but the big attraction here is their crazy, crazy sales. One can easily create a whole wardrobe for less than $150 bucks and look presentable doing it. You probably won't be on the cutting edge of fashion, but if you're on the cutting edge of fashion you're probably not excited by 75% off sales on dress slacks. Decent customer service, as in they leave you alone and don't stalk you in the aisles, but can be easily found if needed. All the atmosphere of a sterile medical clinic, but the bright lighting and low sight lines makes it easy to avoid the annoying screaming baby in it's stroller while the mom eyes clothes she might've worn 10 years ago. You may have to dig a bit to find what you want, but the money you'll save makes putting up with the rest of the trip worth it.

There's something for everyone from gemologists to astronomers at Wild Territory.

Purely science-minded individuals probably disapprove when time pieces and the musculoskeletal system are combined, but if you think skeleton clocks are cool Wild Territory will be right up your alley. Personally, I don't think learning is ever a bad idea. After all I'm no scientist so I must have picked up the word musculoskeletal somewhere! If you can pick up a gift or something for yourself at Wild Territory that expands your mind - even a little bit - it could replace some of those dendrites you killed down the street at Free State, or the Granada, or Jackpot Saloon ...
