Report
I'm glad my in-laws live in Laplace so we can swing by here when we're visiting, but we would make the trek regardless because the prices at Friends Safety Supply are great. There's a large selection of both used and new shirts and pants here, as well as coveralls and hard hats. We've always had to order off of Amazon to try and save money over brick and mortar stores but after discovering FSS we can buy local. It's also nice to see and feel the material you're buying.

Tim at Friends Safety Supply was friendly and helpful. He took time with us to make sure we got the best items to suit our needs, and at great prices. Highly recommend, worth the drive to Laplace.
