They have been selling t-shirts at the Farmer's Market for awhile but now theye have a very modern and sleek new store in the east village! With beautiful big windows and wonderful location on locust! Most people are figuring out how important it is to know where your food comes from and how if they can choose to buy locally they do! Well that is the same model of this store only with clothing and accessories! They have stuff here for the whole family! I really like wearing funky socks and they had an awesome collection! I got the chance to meet the owner and he is very passionate about what the store is doing and why they are doing it! I dig that! Community focussed clothes! Sign me up!

One of the shirts had a cute phrase and another shirt caught my eye for my husband. I found the same design in the woman's section so I grabbed it up for me instead. The shirts were a little pricey but I justified it because I was supporting a local business...HOLD UP! You aren't located in San Diego?

When Darrin the manager heard about my situation he immediately went to work for me. With the help of these two gentleman I was able to climb mountains I previously thought to be impossible. I can't thank Darrin and Edgar enough for their timely, courteous and over the top effort, education and erudition in professional menswear. I wear a suit differently now. I feel centered, comfortable and confident. The quality of the material and the design of the suit are world class. The sales staff nailed it. The tailor perfected the work of art. Darrin made it easy and seamless. Thank you to all of the staff at Mr B's.

I swear that I'm walking into a Portland Oregon shop (like Tanner or Machus) when I see the unique collection of leather goods, outdoor accessories (like Filson) and associated fashion (like waxed jeans from Red Clouds Collective of Portland). It's fun to look around and imagine the possibilities. They have their own leather shop in the back and they will do custom orders. I asked that take one of their passport holder designs and add a "flap and snap" feature to keep it all together better. That was done, mailed, and in my hands within a couple weeks.

I'm a long distance backpacker. I have a few things from a company called Arcteryx, and was looking…read morefor an authorized dealer. I went to their website and this shop popped up as a dealer location. I was intrigued since I hadn't heard of it before. I have to admit that when I first walked in, I thought I was in the wrong place. The front of the store isn't really outdoor gear. I lot of it is women's casual clothing. Then I started noticing things in the back. They have a pretty extensive collection of Darn Tough wool socks. Many of the styles were limited edition ones that I've never seen anywhere else. They had some other outdoorsy clothes in the back. I was impressed with the amount of Marmot items they carry. There were some outdoor gear items in a small section in the very back, but it doesn't seem to be a big part of their business. One of the items that stood out to me was the Sea to Summit Aeros inflatable travel pillow. I wish II'd had one of those for my flights to and from Hawaii earlier this year. The cost is similar to a regular travel pillow, but it's inflatable so it doesn't take up much space when you aren't using it. I asked about the Arcteryx gear. They said Arcteryx doesn't work with small shops like them anymore. It isn't their fault that they're still listed as a dealer, but I was disappointed about it. However, I expect I'll head back in a month or so when they get their winter stock in. I suspect they'll have some good winter jackets and gloves, and I really want to take a closer look at all the Darn Tough styles they had. Wool socks are so good for keeping your feet warm in the winter. And I just might pick up an Aeros pillow while I'm there, too.

And on the strength of Lindsay R.'s review, I consulted Google Maps and made my way to Beaverdale and to Back Country Outfitters. Beaverdale is a cute little area and I'm glad I made a trip to a neighbourhood I would have not normally sought out. Back Country Outfitters is kind of a mini REI, with knowledgeable staff, an interesting meandering layout, and a nice selection of outdoors gear, women's' clothing, travel bags and gifts. There's plenty of free parking and definitely worth the trip.

It's nice to find a store that's not afraid to carry the higher end ECCO has to offer. I've been everywhere in Omaha and they didn't have the models I was looking for. This store had 4 styles I wanted to try on that I couldn't find anywhere! I ended up buying one pair and will be back for the other ones in a month or 2. The salesman that helped me was better than most I've worked with at Tradehome. Most of them come across fake/trying to hard but he seemed genuine. If you are tired of finding the same shoes everyplace you go give this Tradehome a try.

Overall I enjoyed browsing through the stacks of records. On leaving I noticed they have a ton of CDs and clothing, and they even mentioned cassettes which I didn't know where making a comeback, but hey why not.
