Every single t-shirt my wife has bought has been awesome. They use quality materials and the designs are fun. Also, the turnaround is very quick. The order we put in yesterday was delivered today! Headed there soon for some stocking stuffers because small local businesses deserve our support and their product is great!

I needed to pick up a topical tee shirt fast for a birthday gift (I usually order by mail) so I went to the physical location for appointment shopping. The owner made my tee shirt to order while I waited. Tee shirts Ive bought here are high quality and soft and this one was no exception. I also bought 3 magnets as Christmas stocking stuffer gifts as they were cheery and bright and browsed them while I waited. I was surprised at the things they had besides tee shirts. All in all, a great in-person pandemic shopping experience and friendly, too. You cant go wrong with House of Swank.

Ive only ordered online at House of Swank, and Ive never been disappointed. They have top-quality fabrics (coziest Ts ever) and up-to-the minute designs. These are unique products that support a strong local business. John and Jess are fully committed to their community as much as they are to their products.

I discovered House of Swank right after moving to Raleigh on 2016. They were in a funky warehouse at the time, and were the most welcoming people I had yet encountered in a truly friendly city.We love their products! Gentle humor, top quality, rad pricing.I take every single visitor to H O S, and they all love this store!

I love the creativity! I bought two of my favorite t-shirts there - In Rod We Trust & the Peace St Bridge - and many gifts for friends & family. They are always excited to get a small, squishy package. The t-shirts themselves are super comfortable and sized well. Thank you!!

Review №26

We love shopping local! They had lots of fun tees and were even willing to make us shirts that they didnt have in our size on the spot. Only reason I didnt give them a 5 star review is because we looked on line (after we left, ugh!) And saw the same shirts bought for half price.

Review №27

Super comfortable shirts! I have very sensitive skin and I’m so happy I found a place to order soft and funny shirts. I received my shirt quickly and I’ve already ordered a second one. There are so many funny/ local designs that I had to stop myself from ordering more.

House of Swank t-shirts have become a go-to-gift for me. My friends and family are never disappointed when I include a quirky T-shirt or hat from HOS. Their shirts are top quality and super soft. This past Holiday I sent out Christmas cards from HOS and they were a big hit! I enjoy popping in the shop whenever I am downtown.... such awesome owners!

Probably the most comfortable shirts you will ever put on! Not only does John support EVERYTHING North Carolina, he/they support issues and causes that humanity needs to get behind. I buy their products because 1. It’s local 2. They sooo comfortable 3. They’re just down right decent human beings 4. I stand with the messages they put out on all issues. Good people, good product, doing positive things

Unique t-shirt and clothing shop on Hargett Street in downtown Raleigh. Across from the Downtown Raleigh bus station. Unique shirts with a local flair.Looking for some for the local towns, Garner, Fuquay-Varina, etc, they have a shirt for you. Looking for unique festival t-shirts, they have that too. They have a place @ the NC state fair every year as well. They will make custom t-shirts in small batches right in the store. They usually carry S-XXL. They seems to struggle keeping XXXL or larger sizes in stock.Worth a visit for a unique gift or to remember your trip, town, Experience by.

I have purchased several T-shirts’ from House of Swank (in-person back in the day) and online. The creative T-shirts are soft and durable. And I receive so many compliments when I wear the shirts. At the beginning of COVID-19, I ordered half a dozen T-shirts for my family and they were delivered fast. All gifts were loved. I was even gifted one of my fave T-shirts “What a Year This Week Has Been” early during COVID-19. I cannot recommend House of Swank more! From the quality of the mercy to the excellent customer service! Browse the collection and you will find something you must have! 💯

Review №90

I bought 2 pride shirts which I love, the design is nice and colorful. I bought the shirt not even a yr ago and the shirt ripped under the arm after wearing it for a short time. Shirts arent cheap and should be made with high quality fabric that can be worn anytime and washed over and over without it ripping. Now the shirt is useless. I sent this message and review over 3 months ago and still no word from this place. He asked for my mailing info and I never received any new shirts. NO I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE, CHEAP CLOTHING THAT RIPS and bad customer service.UPDATE April 2021: I sent the store my info, he never sent a new shirt or even contacted me. Me and my crew are going to Pride OBX and will buy our pride gear elsewhere and at a place that sells high quality clothing thst wont rip after we wear it 1x.
