Sickafus Sheepskins

As others have said, you are followed around in the store because it is stuffed with very over priced merchandise, forget wheelchair access because it is so cramped even walking around the store has an issue, now for their prices, quite honestly I have seen the same stuff in NYC at wholesalers as well as retailers much cheaper than here (their prices are more a kin to Macy’s or Bloomingdale’s) however it appears to be sourced from the same supplier (over seas in many cases) so you may not be buying an American product (let the buyer beware) We had driven by it for years and now seeing inside we’ll continue to do so, We suggest you do the same.

I purchased extra large motorcycle seat covers from Sickafus online for our 2 Harley Davidson motorcycles (road king & a heritage softtail) and we couldn’t be happier!!! Not only were these well priced, but shipping was prompt and the skins are beautiful!!! We have ppl asking us all the time where we purchased our seat covers & have many many compliments on them!
I can’t speak about the actual storefront as I’ve not been there but our online experience was awesome and we are more than pleased with our purchase!!! Highly recommended!!!

I know that at times my reviews can be a bit wordy but this place… defies explanation to a point and if you’ve never been there you really can’t get how weird it is.
I’ll try a bit of an abbreviated history to begin with. Part one is that if you have ever driven on Route 78 in the area of Strausstown (exit 19) you know something about Pat Garrett or this place because there are billboards everywhere hawking his sheepskin outlet store. The lovely wife has seen said signs for years now and has increasingly wanted to stop to search for a pair of slippers. After putting it off for over a decade we finally made the stop the Sunday before Thanksgiving.
Now the other side of the equation is that Garrett is an E-​List country act that I guess would be considering the «King of Strausstown» with his gas station, sheepskin store, motel and who knows what else. He is also milking his fifteen seconds of fame because a while back Taylor Swift played with his band when she was a no name from Berks County.
The «store» is like walking into any tiny gas station convenience store in the middle of nowhere just that instead of beef jerky, slurpys and old hot dogs this place is loaded down from end to end with everything you possibly imagine sheepskin related along with things like an old amp for sale, several huge knives, a display of cubic zirconium which has a sign on it imploring you to buy because no will know it’s not the real thing and various other bits of junk/​crap that I can’t remember. In other words it looks like you’re walking into the garage of someone related to Ted Nugent who happens to posses a lot Ted’s leftovers.
The review from Unilocaler Wayne S. about someone following you around is very, very true. One guy there (names-​who knows) just stood by a door way that leads to a closet area and gawks at you while every two minutes or so he asks again if there is anything he can do for you. If you need to move somewhere around where he is standing he doesn’t move for you, you move around him.
Let’s see, then there is Mr. Garrett who I’ll call the voice of the almighty. Why? Well this place has some kind of an intercom system where at various times Pat (I guess) will start talking-​barking instructions-​interrupt a sale over and over until someone answers him.
An example would be that the glaring guy was actually helping another customer and then the voice starts bellowing about a website problem that they were having that day and since glaring guy didn’t respond fast enough the question got asked over and over until he answered. Or when we’re at the register paying the voice starts to bellow that the garbage needs to get taken out. Well again, until the woman at the register answered the question it was asked again and again.
There’s more like the guy who walks in to find no one at the register only to go down this narrow hallway towards I think the restrooms then maybe thirty seconds later comes out yelling something about «Well then don’t take my F-​ing money» towards the woman working the register.
I saw more there in our 20 – 25 minutes in that store than I could ever care to see in a lifetime. It’s was like a Christopher Nolan movie crossed with The Usual Suspects meets the Beverly Hillbillies in terms of clientele, staff and experience.
Oh by the way, the slippers were bought and so far so good in terms of warmth and durability. In the future either we’ll order online or just go from another company as this whole shopping ordeal was at best surreal and at worst totally freakish.

This place is extremely over priced. I bought slippers for my parents and found the same ones on Amazon for $ 20.00 less per pair. I should have done some research before I bought. Also, they are not very accommodating. I bought ear muffs for my wife while she was outside watching our dogs. They did not fit her and she asked to exchange them. They wouldn’t do it. I won’t stop here again.

I was not impressed with the place which is a converted gas station. It was an odd experience, to say the least. The woman running it followed us around while we looked at the wares. Their selection is decent, but I didn’t care for the lighting, arrangement of products, atmosphere, or having someone tailing me throughout the shop.
