G-Star Raw Store NY Union Square

Super friendly service not pushy extremely helpful and even knowledgeable about the brand and after care of the product. Quality of clothing is on par with the price. You’ll always get what you pay for and in this case it’s extremely worth it.

VERY Disappointed! I bought a pair of $ 180 jeans a week ago, after trying on at home again, I didn’t like the fit. When I returned the jeans the manager informed me all items are only returnable for store credit. I paid full price and it was a week from the purchase date, I was told sorry store policy. If you have a great product, why can you not stand behind it and offer a refund in a reasonable matter of time when full price is paid?!
Be warned, while the staff was understanding, they made no accommodation. I’m going back to Diesel who stands behind their product and offers far better customer service.
G-​Star, you just lost a customer for life along with all the friends I’m going to tell about my experience!

Hi yah.
As a bit of context, G-​Star locations are all franchises, so certain core business decisions will be driven by the owner of that particular location.
I had a serious issue with the Whistler Bomber jacket I bought back in November or December. It came apart along the seam at the shoulder, in what was clearly an issue with the product’s manufacture.
Unfortunately, it was after the 30 days of no question returns. The store manager seemed pretty cool about, but I guess the store’s owner basically said he didn’t care, and… yeah. They’re not interested in trying to work it out, so I’m stuck with 350 dollars of jacket that I can *maybe* get a tailor to fix.
Basically this location does not really seem to stand behind their product. The one down in SoHo seemed pretty chill, but I’ve never had any issues with manufacturing defects down there. And it could very well be the same owner.
And finally, G-​Star stuff is has traditionally been pretty reliable. Maybe that’s been changing lately, I’ll have to see how many other people are having issues.
Just putting this out there as a word of warning — might want to consider buying via someone offering more solid protection of your purchase.
Thanks!

I love G-​Star!
I love their clothing line (it’s very euro and stylish) and I love the employees that work there (nothing but helpful). I only wish I had unlimited amount of funds to shop here.
I guess I can forgo food for a week and get myself some new gear.

What can I say. I love this store. G-​Star clothing is one of the best Euro brands out there. I used to shop at Energie until they closed its location on Broadway, so now G-​Star is my only stop when I want great clothes. They are very pleased to help you find whatever you need and if they dont have the size, they will call and hold or ship it from any other store to you if you so wish.
I love the clean lines, the slim cuts and all the stylish looks. This brand is second to none.

So far, every time I visit any of the g-​star locations the staff has been super friendly and never pushy. If you are unfamiliar with their style, there’s a lot of military and science fiction overtones to their clothes. It reminds me of what you’d where if you found yourself sucked into a Robotech cartoon. The stuff is designed to make you look like a badass. They usually have some pretty awesome coats. Jeans and shirts can be a little pricey, but I think for a nice coat, they are fairly reasonable.

Somewhere in time and space, a man thought; sprouting from the crevices of his imagination, non canonical forms and complex ornamentation sought life through his fingers; sketched first on paper at hap hazard, the lines changed course, clashed, diverted, finally rendering something remote; the distant past copulating with the distant future… in between, something isolated, idiosyncratic, intricate and yet rough… Raw.
The man smiled, and he saw that it was good. Then on the seventh day he rested and sent his sketch to the prototype confection department.
This prodigal being, thanks be to fate, designed for G-​Star.
I’ve resisted for two years the temptation to pour my Unilocal stars to the greatest of them all; the G-​Star, for they are, undoubtedly, the one true monarch of men’s fashion. Unmatched, Unparalleled, Uncompromising.
As beautiful as Sisley might be, in G-​Star we find the bivouac where the last responsible tailors of men decided to wage their unyielding stance against the phalanx… emerging from FIT, Parsons and Central Saint Martins, the hordes of designers mindlessly plunge into the cacophony of women’s fashion and couture, men forsaken forever to the stoic inquisition of the elder royal houses; their cut clinical, arrogant, shamelessly repetitive. And to add insult to injury, this color blind repertoire fit for jesters and mascots, is as costly as it is ugly.
Enter G-​Star.
Their motto, «Form follows function», must be an ironical jest; the mischievous and cozy antebellum of the enfant terrible’s kingdom of sartorial magnificence. Nothing can be further from the truth. G-​Star takes a shirt, and makes it a piece of art; the random allocation of detail, of unnecessary accents and playful minimal rococco. A contradiction. Buttons going nowhere, logos trimmed, pasted, superceded, superimposed; blatant, yet regal; finished, yet raw.
This denim king of kings, never follows trends but his own; an outlaw, deciding to stick to the netherverse colors of the spectrum; black, dark blue, cobalt, and all the forms of expressible gray. Their jeans bearing erratic stitching and faux hem lines; their jackets and coats lavishly peppered with delicious features and a non sequitur troupe of intricate details, which will surrender your eyes to sublime contemplation.
No price is too great to pay for this work of love; so for those who never had the privilege of knowing that this haven exists, aim for the Star, but aim alone. Tell only who you must, for G-​Star must not be an object for all, but an enshrinement of eternal individuality, detail and perfection at the heart of all cacophonies. This is what G-​Star represents.
For if you haven’t guessed yet, G is for God.
It has to be.

I have to admit that I have a deep seeded retail fear. Don’t take this to mean that I have a fear of shopping. God knows (as well as the credit card companies) that I don’t have a problem spending money on clothes. My fear is that I will walk into a clothing store, not be deemed cool enough to wear said store’s clothing by the staff and be refused service and laughed out of said establishment. This is the reason why it took me 6 months to finally walk into G-​Star Raw. Deep seeded irrational fears be damned, my Diesel jeans were on their last legs and I was ready for a change so I finally braved entering G-​Star and was serviced by a lovely girl who held my hand and walked me from jean wall to fitting room to register and out with a seamless and painless experience and I spent about $ 90 less than I would have at Diesel and I must say, my new jeans fit a hell of a lot better than my old diesels ever did. In fact, I may go back and buy another pair next week. Now if only I could summon the courage to walk into Costume National. Baby steps… baby steps.

FACT: Daniel has one of the best asses this side of China.
Now this isn’t me being conceited. My butt looks great in all kinds of jeans, trousers, etc. Men, women, elves, Halflings, dwarves, all sorts of people and creatures tell me so. It’s genetics and the fact that I do capoeira. Despite my own criticisms of it, large sections of the population are fans.
What this all means is that this asset requires pants that are stylish and of high quality. Enter G-​Star.
Yes, it’s true: G-​Star is relatively expensive denim… but listen, you gotta PAY to dress well! Right now, I am actually wearing a pair of twill pants from G-​Star that, on sale, cost $ 120 without tax. But, OMG, my butt looks even more amazing in them! J. Lo currently WEEPING in her hands because her pram-​pushing fanny isn’t what it was and she knews that my bunda is out there, stealing stares and not making me rich.
Yes, it’s true: G-​Star Raw has a corner on the S.W.A.T team chic. Yes, it’s tragically hip. If you don’t like it, don’t wear it. Or FUCK OFF, Dull-​As-​Dishwater Derrick and Plain-​Ass Jane!
This location is smaller than the SoHo G-​Star Raw, but the staff is much more helpful. They also know to leave your ass alone and they don’t try to oversell you. It’s always a good sign when the sales associates look good in the clothing they are selling.
So if you don’t wanna blow $ 200 for denim that – in terms of style – is right up there with Diesel, then save $ 40 or so and go to G-​Star. Ain’t nothing wrong with looking like you take out stank muthafuckaz for a living.

Say you want to look like you’re part of a S.W.A.T. team, and what you lack in marksmanship and negotiation skills, you make up with ridiculous amounts of disposable income. If you fit the above description, G-​Star Raw is for you.
G-​Star is situated on the northern side of Union Square, one the hottest and fastest growing shopping neighborhoods in New York City. Here you’ll find a plethora of hip, military-​style clothing that veers towards the dark end of the color spectrum, which is great if you want to blend into then night.
Jeans will cost you in the neighborhood of around 200 bucks, sweaters, hoodies, painter caps, etc. are all priced accordingly. I give this location an extra star over my Lafayette G-​Star review. The clothing is more organized and the lab white interior adds to the overall shopping experience.
