Nasty Pig

Well. Didn’t expect to be writing a Unilocal review on this place. And yet here I am.
Stopped by on a recent visit to NYC after seeing a commercial on Logo and going, «they have a flagship store? As in a real store? And they advertise on Logo?». The small was a lot smaller than I expected; sure, most NYC stores ARE smaller than average, but this was even pretty small. But — the folks on duty were pretty attentive as I browsed the wall of jockstraps, while my friends patiently waited for me to actually choose something. (I thought it odd they kept the jocks themselves down in the basement, but I’m sure that’s an inventory control /​space thing.)
Pricing is about what you’d expect — high end underwear place, premium prices, but good quality and such. Other accessories run about the same.
You’ve heard the saying — do one thing and do it well… they do one thing (sell «fun» clothing), and they do it well.

Their clothing is entirely over priced. The clothing designs and build quality are not impressive at all to reflect the price. It’s almost as if you’re shopping for clothes that have higher prices just because an Apple logo is on it. Some of their clothes are also replicated designs from old Rue 21 designs, the only difference is the logo on it. Undergear and several other online retailers have a much more affordable selection. $ 75 for a striped, cotton tank top is ridiculous. These aren’t even name brand clothes. I can understand shopping at Armani, Nordstrom or even Express at these prices because of the build quality, but these are really over priced, gutter clothes designs that you can find in Walmart and Rue 21.

Great product line and customer service!

Very, very disappointed with their mail order customer service. Followed directions for returns submitted it twice with no response. Called left detailed message no response. Do not buy through web unless you know your going to keep it

To be quite honest I’m very dissatisfied. I made an order a week ago. And still have yet to receive an email confirmation with any USPS tracking information. I believe they make people pay $ 10 for 2 – 3 business day shipping. And they state that their warehouse will ship within 2 – 3 days.
SO. I called several times. No one answered. No biggie. so and a left message with got no response. Voicemail stated they were experiencing «technical difficulties». Emailed them, twice, still no response. Haven’t received any other information about my purchase other than my receipt that sent to me quite promptly after my account was debited. I hope that when I do finally hear back it’s not next Valentine’s day.

I came here about two months ago. Honestly, this is not the type of clothes I like to wear. Too sexy, I guess! LOL. Anyway, the store is nice and it has so many beautiful things. I came here because I was in the city and a close friend asked me to pick up some things for him. He wanted some jockstraps and socks. When I got there, first I noticed was the staff. They were chatting and making jokes. Not in a way I felt comfortable. I felt they were looking at me when I started to look at the straps. After I made my decision, this guy came and asked me if he could help me. I told him what I was gonna buy. He took the straps I chose and told me: «hey, this is medium size… It’s not gonna fit you». I’m a big guy, so I felt uncomfortable. I told him that in fact I wanted them in medium size. He was very pushy in telling me that probably I needed some larger size… Until I told him, they weren’t for me. They were for someone else. :(
At this time, I just wanted to go. I paid for the stuff and got away.
When I got to my friends, one week later, I gave him his stuff. Guess what? The straps were much smaller than the ones that were displayed. I chose the medium ones, and the ones they gave me were very, very small… With a medium size tag.
Lesson: if you come, don’t trust at all the size tags.
Nasty experience, they should be called. Not coming back, by the way.

Everything you need, wether it be gym gear, vacation attire, or something to make you feel like a Stud, Nasty Pig won’t disappoint you!

As Jim also wrote in his review about this place, I am beyond the age of appropriate for the clothes here but my partner isn’t. Sure, I can wear some of their clothes but maybe for a Halloween party! But that is only my opinion about the clothes and I’m not the demographic they are looking for. It’s a cool store and a MUST if you’re in the area or just walking by. It is near some cool alternative bars so it is convenient.
The staff was very friendly and the place was very clean and not cluttered. The store as a nice rear l window or courtyard bringing a lot of light inside. It’s not claustrophobic for being a small place.
We bought a few things there and they are quality clothes. Take a look if you’re in the area!

One of my favorite brands of all time. And not just for their jocks and briefs and socks (my personal favorite) but for their increasily very cool line of shirts, shorts and outerwear. NP makes every man feel sexy! Now that’s a great brand! #nastypig

Excellent (read: overwhelming) selection of great shirts, underwear, socks, pants and more. Very friendly staff, it was a great experience, especially for an out of town first-​timer.

Where to begin with this one? lol.
It’s been many a year since a small local brand lured me all the way to nyc… but after having made a few purchases online now, having browsed the store a couple times, and finally after a walk-​through on my birthday this past sep 24^th, actually got to do some shopping!
My man and I love the brand. We’ve had so many guys… gay and str8 who have noticed us in the hats or seen the logo on our straps or briefs and want more info on the brand… a quite a few str8 dudes now that buy for their womens’ enjoyment… and come to us to make sure they dont get a color that sends the wrong message to people… well, people like myself. lol. Last week one of NJ’s best sushi chefs in the area (@ seiki’s lounge in teaneck) noticed thee brand and was very amused by the name and the sticker on my hats rim. …and man r we the type of guys that like to spread a good, hot, and especially local brand, esp one run and geared towards our… community and subculture within it.
Being a big guy that’s def not gym material, I’m limited as far as the stuff that fits me… but such is the consequence of my lifestyle I guess…
I love the hats, as well as the undergear, both of which are available in my size…
My man, being a much more slim, can feed him all day and he loses weight anyway (the lucky bastard!) fits into everything though, from their under gear… to a pair of hot unique jeans w a matching tee and new piece of under-​gear (and of course a little for myself hehe).
I’ll def continue to shop here… be it online or in the store, and suggesting it to others and making a point to tell str8 dudes «yah dude, your girl would love this on you, its underwear, nobody would notice», whenever I can afford a little spree or a good upcoming special event.
I will say for a small brand, it’s pretty pricey! From our experiences though, everything is quality and worth the $, and for some activities this stuff has to be… durable ;-)
The service online as far as email contact has ALWAYS been fast, effective and very pleasant… our visits to the boutique in Chelsea are also the same, always very pleasant, polite, and HONEST– admittedly, sometimes asking another gay guy to be critical w their answer can be a dangerous thing in potential– but hey, when it comes to buying this stuff, I either want it to own on me, or not rock the item… sometimes blunt, direct honesty can be a good thing! Just recall that if ya ask a very silly question, you may get a very interesting response. lol
Can;t wait to check out the shop again… hopefully this coming week for my man’s 32^nd bday on the 11^th… for the first time in a long time, I can put $ into his bday, and despite making a pretty sizable order tonite online… I’ve of course emailed the shop studs and asked some questions about some impulse buys for if we go in a nice city wander in his new threads next fri —
Cheers, Studs!!! This brand is an ever growing brand of quality gym, street and cruise gear that just keeps giving and giving HOT new stuff. I just wish they would bring back the NP Interlock mock-​Yanks hat or something very NYC related in headgear! let us show our style and our support for the local businesses and team, and our love for the city we see as the center of our universe!!! We love that there is forums that help you find out of date or discontinued stuff… that can be a bit funky, esp w hats.
It takes a lot of talent, good design, style and marketing to actually start a small business in fashion in lower mid-​town, upper downtown… It’s majorly going oit on a limb in one of America’s most trendy fashion-​centric areas… but these studs are doing it right!!! and have been for a while now!
Definately check this place out if you are lookin for a good, sexy gym/​bar n street clothes– somethin for ya’ sefl, something for that sexy ass man in your life, or even if you are a straight guy lookin for something sexy for just your lady friend’s or friends’ eyes only, that will be on the unique side to them!
From out experience when we travel the brand severely gets some nice attention from hot local bi dides tpp//////

Great location! Super friendly staff! Great clothes and underwear! Best and most comfortable underwear in the world!!! If you’re in Chelsea, stop by and see them!!!

Just a quick note to say that Eric at NP has been awesome! I had an issue with a shipment this week and when I reached out to see about getting help about it, Eric responded very quickly and efficiently. Thanks to him I’ll be sporting some sweet NP gear at Folsom this year.
Thanks Eric!

Awesome! Finally writing a review after going to NhP for years. Jocks, hoodies, tshirts, and some awesome fetish gear! Thanks for the attention and awesome service Jason R. I’m coming back to get those shorts (you know the ones) — Jason

Was mobbing through Chelsea and stopped in to take a look. Had a great experience with David. Very charming and equally as handsome. He noticed we were wearing the same jock– I believed him but he decided to prove it to me anyhow. He should get a raise. Keep up the good work gentlemen.

Very friendly and helpful staff. high quality products. i bought my first Nasty Pig jock 5 or 6 years ago and it is still in good condition!

Great Little Shop — Like Madonna, they just keep on transforming themselves and the style of clothes they create for the street savvy men and boys. The guys in the store are always nice and attentive. I wish they carried larger sizes or fabrics that stretched a little more, but hey. Keep it up.

Always a positive experience when I shop here. The staff is super friendly and attentive, without being pushy. I work in customer service and I always appreciate when I can be the customer and feel taken care of.
The brand mixes fetish-​wear and street clothes, and everything I’ve every purchased as been great quality and durability.
I definitely make a point of stopping in the store every time I’m in Chelsea; I recommend you do too!

Ok, I’m wayyyyy beyond being age appropriate for the clothes in here, but something about the style of the place lured me in here.
Leather or faux leather vests and pants. Skinny jeans for men, with a certain style and flair (literally) that has a certain level of uniqueness that you won’t find most places.
$ 25 for the red or black baseball caps, emblazoned with the pig silhouette logo which are a nice diversion from major league sports franchise logos. $ 25 for most tees with very unique style designs (mostly on the back) for your biker or pork fans.
Some tees were marked down to a reasonable $ 17.50 but in limited sizes.
Who wouldn’t love to be recognized with the words «nasty pig» somewhere around the globe? It has a certain NYC cache… no? The 2 guys working the store were friendly enough, without being pushy.
If you’re ever thinking to yourself «Nasty Pig», either from self-​loathing or your last relationship gone bad… come here, it’ll take your mind off things for awhile.

Here’s a store in Chelsea trying to sell clothes and fetish wear at the same time, creating something of a retail identity crises. It’s a little more clothing that it is non-​clothing, so I feel like the name of the store is a little misleading.
Ben H. works here part time, so I went in to investigate the wears and say hello. This was quite awhile back, I would say sometime last summer or possibly even last spring. I didn’t end up finding many things I would even buy, and I was kind of in a shopping mood. To say the stuff is grotesquely overpriced is an understatement. It is. They are asking for way too much money for some of the stuff.
I spent $ 24.00 on a pair of undies. I like them, and they seem to be more sturdy than some of the other things Unilocal reviewers have bought here. Some of the rubber stuff they were selling does look like it would literally fall apart if you tried to put it on. Then again, maybe this type of fashion statement just isn’t my style.
The layout of the store is intimate and nice. Generally, not crowded from what Ben told me (unless it’s Black Party weekend or Folsom is coming up). If you have the money and like it a little rough, this might just be the store for you.
