Cato’s Army & Navy Store

Stores like Cato’s are what make neighborhoods unique and special. There aren’t a lot of men’s stores around so it is so wonderful to have a store like Cato’s to buy gifts for the men in my life (husband and dad) without resorting to big box stores. I am a huge believer in supporting local businesses and I couldn’t be happier to support a store like Cato’s. their prices are great, the selection is surprisingly amazing and the customer service you can’t beat. Greenpointers, if you need to buy boots, socks, shirts by Pendelton and Wrangler, jeans and a variety of other goods this is your place! Stop buying from Amazon and the other chains when you have gems like this right under your nose!

Whenever I visit NYC I shop with Cato’s! I’m from Switzerland — so I’m pretty objective. Therefore believe me: This store and these guys there ARE VERY FRIENDLY — in spite of most New York stores!!! And they help you, know their business and get you stuff if they ran out of it! I only can say: Go Cato’s — and especially: Go Ed!

The staff here is great and incredibly helpful. When I asked for something they didn’t stock, it was ordered for me. Picked up quite a few items here all at once instead of searching or venturing out to manhattan. Ed hooked me up!

Ok store but after spending hundreds of dollars there I needed to return a jacket (too big) and the store wouldn’t give me a refund. They offered credit store only.
Ridiculous. Any decent company that values their customers guarantees refunds and satisfaction. This guy obviously is only after your money. I was a loyal customer and as one I should have the courtesy to be able to return an item that does not work for me.
This store is a no go. Horrible policy and customer service.

This place is a great find in Greenpoint. Really good selection and amazing customer service! Best prices in NYC!!! Cool mens items like Carhartt, Levi, Wrangler, etc. I picked up a wool fishermans cap that would have been twice the price in the city! They also have a great selection of zig zag shoes that are really great for the summer and spring.

No frills, decently priced Army-​Navy gear. I’ve been going back for 10 years now.

Perfect service. Not much else to say but this is a nearly bygone business model. That and the great prices and selection keep me coming back. Been in the neighborhood 6 years and they have stayed totally consistent for at least that long.

Customer Service,
Cheapest jeans in NYC,
Quality to boot.

I love Army Navy stores because they don’t sell you frills. They sell you back-​to-​basics top-​quality products that will do what they are designed to do.
Naturally, I wanted to make sure I was prepared for the cold winter weather already beginning to creep up in November. I looked up a couple places in Manhattan that might have a good selection of quality pea coats, but I decided I’d give the shop down the street a chance.
The store isn’t huge, but it’s stacked with stuff. I think they also have a fairly sizeable backstock as well. They carried a number of fairly reputable pea coat brands from the infamous Alpha Industries (known for great bomber jackets as well) to more premium brands like Schott NYC.
The staff is friendly and helpful, and I managed to get exactly what I wanted, despite being somewhat prepared for disappointment by a small neighborhood shop.
I’ll definitely be back to this place. Highly recommended.

My 200^th review goes to Cato’s Army & Navy Store! Whooohooo!
Alright, so the past week I’ve been looking for an army navy store mainly to get a new military cap. I use to go to the one in SoHo but I didn’t realize that store closed for quite some time now. I felt like an idiot walking up and down Broadway looking for it in the pouring rain.
But anyway, as for Cato’s Army&Navy, they’re pretty good here. I like their location. It’s not far from the train station and its on a busy street. What I like even more about Cato’s is their service. The moment I walked in, the nice chick behind the counter was ready to help me find what I was lookin for. I tried on a few cap sizes and also asked her for her opinion and she was very cool about it. I usually get dumbasses who are completely useless at what they do in Greenpoint but over here at Cato’s they know what they’re doin even if its just selling Army Navy stuff. The dude behind the register was very friendly as well.
As for their selection of clothing and accessories, they have a decent spread jeans, camo pants, boots, and more. The prices here are fair, the store is clean, and there’s good lighting in here. Parking in this part of Manhattan Ave isn’t that bad compared to the other end.
For future Army & Navy type of purchases, I’m coming to Cato’s!

An Army & Navy Brooklyn can be proud to call its own, Cato’s has a neatly arranged, well-​stocked selection of trad military surplus style stuff, work clothes, and «regular guy» shirts and jeans.
Their prices are just a tiny bit higher than Dave’s in New York, and they can’t compete with them in terms of sheer inventory, but (likely ’cause they’re in Greenpoint and cater to a hipster clientele) they seem to have a larger selection of more interesting «fashionable» stuff, like neat western shirts, Levi’s sherpa jackets, bomber jackets and the like. The staff is friendly and helpful, to boot.

***News Flash***
The store clerks here (in Williamsburg no less) have actually heard of Customer Service!!!
It’s amazing! They are helpful, knowledgeable and down right pleasant.
New York is so effing cold! After cruising the Land’s End website for a ridiculous amount of time I decided, «Screw this I’m gonna get a navy issue pea coat for a third of the price of bougie Land’s End coats» .
I ended up getting a satin olive green ghetto-​fabulous parka because, they’re were no medium size pea coats. I’d give them 5 stars except the size selection is geared more for men.
