I recently traveled to Charlotte for a veterinary conference and as a bird dog enthusiast, hunter, and fisherman, I decided to visit TSG. My brother, Boone, also calls on them for Hardy reels and has always told me about this place. The minute I walked in I was treated like royalty, even though they didn't know I was Boone's brother. I ended up spending an obscene amount of money on much needed supplies such as 4 pair of "Boone" 5 pocket pants, a hat, cologne, body wash, a slingshot, rubberband gun, you know, the essentials and I consider it money well spent! The owner and his staff are top notch and most of all, I enjoyed just "talking shop". What a great place! I plan on spending a lot more money there! - JW
One of my favorite shops. Everyone on the staff is passionate about the outdoors and their taste and selection is unmatched.
If you are not sure what to get that special person in your life who loves the outdoors this is the place to go. Best advice, attention, personal service available. A ten.
Cannot say enough great things about The Sporting Gent. From the friendliness of the staff to the quality and selection of clothes & gear, I never fail to not leave happier than I was when I walked in. Too many reasons to mention for why I will always be a loyal of theirs. But it doesn't matter whether I'm looking for a golf shirt, a pair of hiking pants or a great "outdoor" themed cookbook, I know I can find what I'm looking for at TSG.
Wish there was one on the west coast! Such a cool store and super friendly staff.
Always a pleasure to shop at TSG. Mark and team are always friendly and helpful. Good selection of clothing, gear and gift items.
We will continue to support TSG.
Great merchandise, helpful staff and the two sweetest Goldens around.
Expert, knowledgeable, friendly service. Could not recommend more highly.
Thanks to the crew at the sporting gent. Looking forward to doing more business there
The above says it all. The staff is knowledgeable and always friendly and helpful.
I picked up a pair of Bajio Sunglasses. The crew at TSG was really helpful in selecting the best lens and frame for my needs. Thanks!
First of all, I love the store. And the staff is great. I don't recall ever getting better service from a store. All the staff was helpful and gave me their opinion on the clothing I tried on. Even the owner (at least I think he was the owner, maybe the manager) came out of his office to give me feedback on which size I should go with.
The only issue I have is with the actual shirts I bought. I went there looking to buy Free Fly apparel, but it didn't fit me properly. So I bought the TSG All Season Long Sleeve Crew shirts. I bought two of them. They told me they're made from bamboo. Looks like they might not be completely bamboo. Not sure and certainly don't think they were misleading me. But I've worn one of the shirts only once and it was so hot. It did not breathe (at least not for me). A buddy of mine had on a long sleeve tee at the same time. We were both hanging out at a brewery outdoors. He said he wasn't hot at all. I was sweating like crazy. So it looks like I will be returning the shirts. But again, this does not leave me with a negative opinion of this store. I fully expect to do more business there. Loved the staff. Just need to find the right attire that will work for me.
Read a few other reviews after posting this and am editing this review to comment on the dog. I didn't see the dog. Damn! I love Golden Retrievers (owned many over the years). Now I have to go back just to see the dog. :)
