The Territory Ahead

This store has closed.

The catalogs have terrific pictures and the clothes look cool, stylish, fun… depicting a lifestyle that I is far from my humdrum day-​to-​day.
So, naturally, I have ordered several items and shopped in the store in Water Tower Place.
However, when I look in my closet, I see a couple of TTA shirts with missing buttons, sweat pants that the ripped the first time I tried them on, long sleeve tee shirts with big tears in the armpit after the first washing.
Sure, they give you an couple of extra buttons on the shirts. Thanks. But I am not interested in sewing on buttons when the shirt isn’t even a few months old.
The quality of the clothes is low. Cheap, poorly made.
Cool catalogue. I just won’t buy any more clothes from it.

Territory Ahead (and its next door sister Travelsmith) are closing. I guess I’ll have to return to Royal Robbins more often and go back to shirts with flaps! There’s not much left to choose from, although I found some nice slacks that were marked down and then discounted to almost nothing. Store staff were very helpful and friendly amongst the «ruins».

OK now I am upset over this whole economic down turn. I don’t like to shop for clothes, so when I heard that my favorite shop was closing I got a little upset.

The clothes here aren’t completely my style, but I love the sale racks! I can always find something that will work for me. They have really nice solid tee shirts (silky material) for when I don’t feel like dressing up but still want to look nice. And I LOVE their slippers! They are so warm!
Everyone there seems really friendly. I have been helped by the gentleman who works there (Brandon) several times, and he is always genuinely warm and helpful. I just hate those places that have fake people who work there, and this is not one of them!
