A shout out to Wendy from the Oceanside store. She selflessly drove a much needed item down to San Diego proper from way up in Oceanside saving me a two hour round trip. She even found the matching pants to my founders jacket. Thank you Wendy. People like you are the reason I keep coming back again and again.

Garrick over at the Oceanside branch really knew the product and made deciding on which items to pick smooth and fast. Easy to talk to, and makes a good frontman for the brand. Thanks Garrick!
