Mincer’s

If your looking for UVA logo merchandise this is the place to go!
Selection of shirts for about every popular UVA sport. Kids selections as well as adult.

Mincer’s appears to be a bit of an institution along the main drag across from The University of Virginia Campus. Good stock of shirts, hats and mis items with UVA logo’s. However, for me just to cramp. As well employees were not proactive about helping customers. This is the same story that I have written in other reviews. Once you find an employee they are more than happy to help you and this happen here. Proactive staff at many retail businesses seems like a thing of the past. I did end up getting a shirt. The cashier was all business, no personality.
So come here, or many of the other places around campus that sale UVA gear. It’s really personal preference. However, if I lived in CVille this would not be my first choice.

Nice shop. Rare items.

If you want UVa memorabilia, clothing, ball caps, etc. — they probably have UVa toilet seats, too, although I didn’t see them/​look for them — then Mincer’s is the place for you. Conveniently located at the Corner for at least the last 50 years (it was Mincer’s Pipe Shop back in the 1960’s when I was at UVa — ah, the memories of those sweet pipe tobacco aromas), the store is definitely on the normal walking tour of the Grounds for the average tourist or prospective UVa student and his/​her parents out getting a feel for the school. A great selection of UVa stuff, a nice store layout, and friendly and accommodating folks — this visit, the only thing I wanted that they didn’t have was a 2012 – 2013 ACC basketball schedule.
A very nice store, but I still kinda miss the old pipe tobacco aromas, the Gauloise cigarettes (required when you had a date for a Big Weekend from Quebec City), the always hot and thick black coffee, the place to quickly pick up some pencils and a couple of Blue Books before exams, and the big stack of the Sunday New York Times. Guess I’ve come to the conclusion that one only needs so many ball caps in life…

Great one stop shop for all things UVA and Charlottesvile in terms of activewear, t-​shirts, shorts, sweats & collegiate accessories/​memorabilia. Bought my first bright UVA t-​shirt and I love it. If you’re looking for clothing and memorabilia for specific UVA graduate programs then you’ll have to visit your school bookstore instead.

Most awesome UVA apparel store that I saw during my time in Charlottesville. I’m a Syracuse alum so this brought back memories of Manny’s, except it is UVA’s version. In a great area, with other cool shops and restaurants. If you can’t find your UVA gear here, you won’t find it anywhere.

Everything UVA-​related that you could ever need or want and beyond. I got some great t-​shirts here when visiting last weekend. The merchandise selection — amazing. The drunk UVA frat boys also shopping there — not so much. Small price to pay though.

When you are a First Year, you take mom and dad to the University bookstore to get your UVA gear. When you are anything BUT a First Year, you take mom and dad to get your stuff from Mincers. Wall-​to-​wall merchandise dedicated to one of the freakin best Universities in America. (Uh, yeah, I went there, duh). Shot glasses, stripped ties, sweatshirts, t-​shirts, license plate covers, golf balls, books, footballs, shoulder bags, THIS PLACE HAS IT ALL. And the prices are reasonable. I bleed orange-​and-​blue, don’t you?

a great place to go if you want Hoos gear. you can even order online now and you can surprise your friends with gear as someone did for me when I needed a new window decal. love this place. it’s UVA-​central, i even think they have more stuff than the bookstore. lol

UVA-​opolis. Absolutely UVA-​Everything.
To be avoided if you are allergic to orange and good t-​shirt prices.

Mincer’s is UVA’s unofficial clothing store. It’s a family owned and operated shop and doesn’t officially have any connection to UVA. I don’t know if anyone has ever thought about the fact that they have no official affiliation to UVA because no one cares. But they sell only UVA gear. It’s the place to go for any UVA shirts, sweat shirts, hats, accessories, car decals, key chains, baby cheerleading outfits and more. The University Book Store is too expensive and so I recommend getting everything you need here. They have the official stuff and then they also sell t-​shirts that are printed for Mincer’s, which are as good as official, and cost a few bucks less.
Although they are a small shop (I wish they were a big bigger and could carry even more stuff than they already have), it’s jam packed and thus you will find what you want. All I wanted was a simple «Virginia» t-​shirt and I had to call for an opinion because I couldn’t chose from the 7 I had to choose from. Ok, maybe I’m just incredibly indecisive. My point is that they have lots of choices.
The staff are friendly, the other patrons are friendly. Stay away if you hate the colour orange.
Their store hours are longer when there is a game or event on.
