I was in College Station very briefly and realized when I was there that I needed a new face mask and what better thing to get than one from my alma mater, Texas A&M University. I was on the extreme south side of College Station so I bounced into Hobby Lobby thinking they might have some.....well they had masks, but zero with anything to do with A&M. At that point I happened to see the store manager sporting an A&M face mask. Asking him where he got it, he replied "over at the warehouse".
However, upon seeing my blank expression he realized I had no clue what he was on about. He explained it was a warehouse just up the road from Hobby Lobby that sold all things Aggie. So I decided to head that way thinking it was going be roughly the size of an Aggie bookstore, with some Aggie things for sale. Upon arriving, it was a scene of madness. Cars were entering the premises from all directions and all being directed to the back of this huge warehouse to park as all the many parking spaces in the front were already take. Well all the spaces in the back were taken and they had roped off the grass for folks to park even further back. There were an insane number of people visiting this place. When I got in it was like I had died and gone to Aggie heaven. They had all things Aggie. If they didn't have it my bet was because no one makes it. ;-) If you need any accessory related to Texas A&M I recommend heading over there to find it. Really enjoyed shopping through there even though all I needed was a mask, which I...
Read moreWhile my son was a student at A&M a few years back, we stopped in there and I bought a dad t-shirt. I like the shirt, and wore it frequently. After a few years of wear, as expected, the logo started to fade. I do still wear it around the house on a regular basis and it has held up fine.
About a year and a half ago for Christmas I had my son pick me up another shirt that I could wear out in public. It was nice looking as well, but it wasn't very long before the shirt developed a hole in the left arm pit.
So my wife and I took a trip down to CSTAT in June, and while we were there I picked up 2 more shirts. I've worn each maybe 3 times since the purchase and it has not been a month yet since we were there. I go to put on one of the shirts today and it has a hole in the arm seam back of my right shoulder.
I am not in any way mistreating these shirts or doing anything out of the ordinary. The shirts are just not holding up the way the first one did. I don't know if that represents a change in supplier or what.
I don't see any other reviews mentioning the same issue, so perhaps I just have had bad...
Read moreThis a good place to go to get Texas A&M gear. While not affiliated with the University, this leads to some savings. There are many great options for shirts, exercise clothes, and gifts for everyone. If you can't find exactly what you are looking for, you can try Maroon U. This is a more upscale store in the same parking lot and owned by the same company. Not only does the Warehouse provide gear for Aggies, they also do prints for local businesses and college affiliated events such as fish camp. The one and only downside of the warehouse is the heat. The name "warehouse" is not unearned; this store is located inside an actual warehouse. This means terrible air circulation, with no a.c. to speak of. Do Not go during the summer afternoons. It is hot, crowded, and the excellent deals are no longer worth it. All in all, the Warehouse is your one stop shop for cool Aggie swag, just go in...
