Shirts ‘n’ Things

Great and helpful staff. They even went out of the way to order an item for me that was not in the store. Great bunch of people and very cool stuff if you’re into a Gothic/​rockabilly style.

This place reminds me of the University District right outside of the University of WA. And the owners and their employees are incredibly chill and laid back. You certainly didn’t feel pressured to make a purchase.
I drove 30 min from N. Phoenix to get to the shop, and it was worth it! I got a personalized t-​shirt for a friend for his birthday. They were incredibly accommodating, and made the entire process easy. And I didn’t have to order 200 t-​shirts; I was able to get just the one. The base price was $ 19.99, and only $ 2 more for any size over 2XL. It was only $ 9 more to get some on both sides of the shirt.
Their selection of kitsch is impressive, and eclectic. There was so much interesting stuff: iron on patches in various characters/​slogans, large (even vintage) movie/​band posters that were flattened out against sturdy cardboard, incense, lighters, wallets, purses, cute clothes, and more. A person could definitely spend all day in there, and enjoy it. Oh, and easily spend your life savings. Lol!!!
I’m a huge fan of this shop, and for sure a loyal customer. It’s a mom and pop shop, and I believe in supporting local business. Mom and pop shops put in a lot of effort and love in what they do; that’s certainly true of this place.

Needed a roller derby jersey printed with a lot of specific details and they nailed it! They even had a better font than I had planned for. Larry was awesome to work with on the design. I dropped it off on Wednesday night thinking Saturday would be plenty of time to get it done, I got a call Thursday morning that my shirt was ready. I have loved this place for years, they do a great job of carrying lots of throw back items as well as the latest bands and accessories. Shop Local!

This place was great — so many T-​shirts, tanks, purses and other neat accessories!
The staff and owners were there — super friendly and helpful. The only downfall was the v-​neck t-​shirts I tried on didn’t fit right — extremely low cut and open gaps at the shoulder blades. The tanks fit normally — bought a couple and the men’s crew neck
t-​shirts fit fine — my husband bought a Tool t-​shirt. We’ll definitely make this a regular shopping trip while on vacation in Phoenix. I could have spent hours in this store with their overwhelming excellent selection of merchandise!

this place rocks even an old girl like me can find something the employees are nice and very helpful my daughter and I found some stickers and I know I will be back for a few Led Zep t shirts

This place is awesome! The employees are always super friendly and helpful. If you love shopping online for alternative clothing, this place is for you! Honestly it’s so hard to find cool things like this in AZ. I love this place since I don’t have to buy the things online it’s right at my convenience.
I especially love this place because you can order something they don’t have and ship it to the store for you. I bought a purse there but it wasn’t in stock and the owner got in touch with the whole seller and was able to pull strings and get me my amazing eyeball purse.
This place has everything! From brands like kreepsville666, demonia, tuk creepers, and so many more cool brands. Not only that but they have a band tee wall that stretches across the store and have a awesome sticker wall with every band you can think of. Such a cool place!

This place could not be cooler same with the mom and pop who run it. Why go to corporate chain bs when you could be here. Way more stuff and way more style

I love this store and I could easily spend my entire paycheck here. They have a huge selection of shirts, purses, posters, and all sorts of cool stuff. The staff has amazing customer service! They are always helpful and friendly. I was looking for a last minute halloween costume idea and I called a few minutes before they closed. They held the hat I needed up front for me so I could just run in and pay. They were super nice despite the fact that it was literally 1 minute until closing time. Nothing speaks louder than great customer service at the end of the night.

Even at my tender age of 30-​sumtin’ I still like to wear the occasional band shirt and if it isn’t getting it from the show — this is my first stop. I love the selection and the customer service is top notch. I love that they greet you but really leave you alone as you look at the wall-​to-​wall shirts. The female tees are not the most selection but then again there isn’t much online. I also like the fact that in every trip I have yet to meet a condescending employee — you can buy anything without someone giving you a look or their unkind opinion like most music or specialty. It is a far drive for me and most tees average 20 bucks but I am buying local and save on shipping so it evens out.

If you are looking for unique gift ideas or looking for that one band shirt you had a few years back but somehow got misplaced, this place will have it. From shirts to posters and from patches to new creepers, Shirts and Things has it all!
I go here when I, in search of a new shirt, a purse for my lady, some patches, whatever it maybe, its my first stop. SUPER friendly and knowledgeable staff that focus on what you are looking for and making you their priority. I was chatting with the owner Larry and he is honestly one of the nicest people I have met since moving to AZ. Thats customer service at its best!
If I could, Id give them 10 stars but I cant so 5 will do. Go check out these fine folks running a family owned business full of awesome goods. So so much to see and so so much to buy. They got it all!!!

teenage son and I drove up to Phoenix to do some shopping, and this was first on our list. It. Was. Awesome. So many bands and so many items for so many tastes. In fact, there’s so much that it’s a bit overwhelming at first. Plan lots of time to just look at everything.
My son already has an extensive t-​shirt collection, but couldn’t pass up a Depeche Mode (Black Celebration even!) shirt. The Russian shirt he wanted was out of his size, but we were shocked to find a Mission U.K. poster – which is one of his favorite bands. We snapped it up for a buck. I was disappointed that they didn’t have any Depeche Mode posters, but they explained that those suckers are near impossible to find anymore. I appreciated the explanation. Would have loved to see some Pet Shop Boys stuff.
The owners were extremely nice and helpful, and we really enjoyed ourselves. This will definitely be a store we stop into when we’re in town!

I love this store! I buy so many t-​shirts from here, as well as other stuff. Posters, wallets, tapestries, lighters, patches, etc. they have so much cool stuff. The staff is always really friendly and willing to help.

My husband loves this place, he is friends with all the staff. I ordered shirts from them once and they gave me an awesome deal, they were on time and looked great! Really fun stuff in store as well If you are into goth or grunge style-​my husband found a really unique belt buckle for his drum player for a great price. Very nostalgic as well.

I absolutely LOVE this store! I have been coming here since I was a teenager, and now my teenagers shop here. Larry and Deb (the owners) are some of the nicest people you will ever Meet.
Friendly staff, great customer service. If they don’t have what you are looking for, they will gladly order it for you.
I highly recommend this store for all your alternative needs

Love this place! I mostly buy my hair dye here because it’s one of the only places in the state that carries it… they have all kinds of cool stuff and will order things if need be! You can also get custom shirts and stickers made there if you need that kind of thing!

I like shirts and I like things so it seems to make sense that I would enjoy this store. It is kind of a genre store with much of the merchandise being focused on the punk rock/​alt rock lifestyle.
There are band tees a plenty and patches and belt buckles you’d be hard-​pressed to find outside of those walls. I love window-​shopping here and while much of it isn’t stuff I’d wear, I can’t help but admire the amount of stuff they have. I have purchased a few belt buckles and t-​shirts that I couldn’t find anywhere else when I stopped by randomly.
Some people might be quick to label it as a mom-​and-​pop Hot Topic but I don’t think that does it justice. This place is more authentic and has much more interesting stuff for those who don’t want to feel out of place with rock and roll tweens.

I went in with high expectations and left empty-​handed. Problem? they didn’t really have what I was looking for at a reasonable price. They did however, have a lot of stuff that maybe I’ll need sometime in the future.
I was recommended Shirts ‘n’ Things by a friend in the music scene when I told him I was looking for Demonia boots and other goth/​rock apparel and accessories. Despite walking out empty handed, I have to admit that I’m really pleased to say that a store of this sort is found in Arizona at all.
Merchandise:
–band t-​shirts
–accessories (body jewelry, wallets, chains, hats, etc)
–shoes/​boots
–patches
–truck/​car decals
–custom designed tees
–women’s «pin-​up» style clothing
–décor (posters, flags, etc)
–lots more I’m sure
Quality:
–wasn’t over-​the-​moon in the quality department. Example: cigarette cases appeared to be cheap quality (for $ 20), patches were not band produced, they are screenprints on black fabric mass-​produced in store.
–jewelry quality (specifically metal bracelets and chains) were far below the price they were asking ($ 35 – 50).
Staff:
–hit and miss helpfulness. Some were preoccupied with their task at hand, wouldn’t even acknowledge someone standing in front of them.
–generally seemed more concerned about people filching items than actually trying to sell things to paying customers.
Selection:
–tons of some stuff, very little of others. Very wide variety of items to browse.
–very limited shoe selection
–tons of shirts. Shirts upon shirts upon shirts. I guess that’s why it’s called Shirts ‘n’ Things.
Good business they’ve got going here– lots to choose from and they cater to the uprising of rock music fans in the Valley. Bought a leather cuff and that’s it, but it’s a damn cool leather cuff. Might be back if I’m in the area.

This is the place you go when your looking for a band tee or poster or stickers or hats or anything else you can possibly think of that you might need to buy your band stuff on haha. In all seriousness this place has everything for the person that doesn’t want the same cookie cutter bs clothes in the mall. I love this place, In all honesty I’ve bought my shirts here for the past 3 – 4 years… only here. If your looking for anything dark, rockabilly, goth. ish, different. then this is the place for you. They also have baby and toddler sized stuff too to rock your kid out hahaha!

I wandered in here to check it out from curiosity and was quite amazed at their huge selection of T-​shirts and posters from every imaginable rock group and concert. It’s really one of those places you have to see to believe. They have a website too,
. Check it out.

I love the cramped cluttered feeling of Shirts ‘n’ Things. Eh, where to start I love the belt buckles they keep in the case since I am a belt buckle person and they have some cool and beautiful belt buckles. Cool lighters, stickers, posters, gothic hair accessories, hats and even cute baby outfits with a metal or gothic twist. Huge music memorabilia selection to choose from whether it is shirts, posters, stickers, bags, patches, and hats.
They have a great shoe selection from Demonia, creepers, and boots. Nice purses as well near the back of the store. There is way too much to look at in one shopping trip, just take your time and do one section at a time. Nice assortment of jewelry and altogether weird items. Right across the street from MCC, next to Cheba Hut and Subway.
