    Stony Brook Company

    I wanted to give a quick note regarding Chris Sullivan.

    I ordered a pair of Federal trowsers from Chris. He got them out to me in about two weeks. I was so impressed with the workmanship and fit that I ordered my son a pair, and myself a camel colored civilian wool pair a month or so later.

    In the process of determining the size for the civilian trowsers, Chris determined that the 40 would best fit...I agreed that the 42 I ordered a month or so ago were now a bit loose due to my weight loss. Chris offered to have me send them in so he could alter them from a 42 down to a 40 and leave room to let them back out in case. Here is the kicker...all he asked was that I pay the shipping to him, and he would pay the return shipping. I plan to send them in (but I will pay all the shipping both ways) as soon as my next federal event is over.

    Chris then sent the 2 pair of trowsers (my civilian and Garrett's federals) with promise of payment sent so that they were sure to arrive for this coming weekend. Not many folks in this hobby would do that.

    Chris' customer service is on par with what we wished everyone offered, not just in this hobby but in all our dealings with merchants.

    Order from Chris Sullivan at Stony Brook with confidence.

    I've had several equally pleasant dealings with Chris over the years. He truly is one of the people I would most want as a friend and neighbor.

    He made me a pair of dark blue federal pants that are top notch. Exactly as advertised, gave great advice, and delivered on time. I strongly suggest his work.

    Mr Sullivan is a true asset to this hobby. He is willing to answer questions, his customer service is superb and his product priceless. Two years ago I was able to convince many in my mainstream unit to move toward the progressive side of the hobby and Mr Sullivan gave us a group rate on trousers that allowed all to ask why they hadn't done so in the first place.

    I will strongly endorse his product as the quality is second to none and the Customer Service is such that all others should be measured by it.

    Chris is a true gentleman - a rarity these days.

    When I ordered a pair of trousers from him three years ago, he also repaired a pair of Jarnagins for me. Not only did he repair a tear which I hadn't even noticed, he reworked the cuffs so that they correctly broke over the front instead of over the ankle. All for nine bucks!

    Re: Stony Brook Company

    I have delt with Chris many times (including yesterday when I ordered a pair of suspenders). He has never failed to answer my questions almost immediatly either by e-mail or by phone. I've bought several consignment items from him as well that he explaind/described exactly.
    I purchased a pair of black kersey trousers richmonesque/civilian trousers...I was described the originals I was wanting to replicate and sent Chris many pictures of confederates describing what I was looking for. He recommended the black kerseys....having been pointed in the right direction from him in the past of course I went ahead with the purchase....upon recieving them (about 3 days after telling him i'd take them) I took them to the museum that housed the pair I wished to replicate....SPOT ON: Hemming was done exactly as the originals, the waistband was made of the same material and was stitched identical; the material was fantastic, the trousers were even complete with the same suspender like buckle on the rear belt! Thanks Mr. Sullivan! Looking forward to my suspenders!

    My son and I each have a pair of Chris' trousers, and I have bought some consignment items from him as well. He is an excellent vendor, tremendous customer service. I bought my son's trousers, needed them for Christmas, Chris got them to me for Christmas, then had me send them back to be hemmed, and covered the cost. I recommend him to everyone I talk to who is looking for trousers.

    Chris is the best. His customer service is excellent, he responds very quickly to questions, and the items ordered are what was advertised. You cannot go wrong with doing business with Chris Sullivan. Now me and my new Federal Trousers are going to go explore the Piney Woods.

    Thanks Chris!
