Top notch selection, welcoming cast and crew, and the knowledge base / community is like none other in the area. You will find sick gear here that you cannot find anywhere else on the West Coast. Do yourself and your loved ones a favor, and blow a bag at MACHUS. read more

My fiancé and I come here too often because of how awesome the selection of clothing and accessories is and how great the crew is overall. Everyone is super friendly and kind, obviously knowledgeable when it comes to their product and fashion overall, and they love dogs :) You can tell the inventory is thoughtfully curated and filled with high quality, rare brands. Highly recommend checking them out! read more

This is Justin Machus' 3rd Brick & Mortar Store. My first experience with his retailing skills was Local 35 (on SE Hawthorne) which opened in 2003 and closed in 2011 after a successful 8 year run. The 2nd Boutique was located East Burnside and closed in 2021, which makes ~10 years there. Machus has now crossed the river to the West side, which is arguably both a retail and cultural evolution. I'm really not the body shape (or style) that Machus appeals to, but I've been happy with my purchases "around the edges". That usually involves shoes (particularly Solomon) that I've been lucky to snag online via their occasional "Sale on Sale" promotion or travel-related goods like Porter. I also wore a temporary ring I purchased here during a time that I had lost my first wedding band. This time around, I was in town and stopped by the new store. I found a great pair of "gym shorts" on sale that fit me very well. I also had a chance to visually confirm a few items (Solomon again among others) before making a purchase decision. As well as the online store features Machus' items, there's nothing like sight and touch in person. I also took a spin around this well designed and curated store for good measure. Store staff were great, with my only regret is not seeing the man himself. read more

Went here looking fot a specific Rick Owens jacket, but when I entered, no one greeted me or offered to help the whole time I was browsing. There were about six employees (which seems excessive for such a small store) just sitting on the counter/checkout chatting it up and laughing and paying no mind to any of the customers. It wasnt just me, there was someone waiting by the changing rooms and they ended up just trying on the sale rack outside of it. Sure, any of us could go up and ask for help, but the employees seemed very unapproachable, and it felt like they were just ego-ing anyone that came in. It turns away serious buyers when no attempt is made to help out, and makes it seem like they assume you just can't afford anything. The selection is pretty small as well when it comes to brands. Ive had good experiences here in the past, but unfortunately it seems like this place has really gone down hill. read more

It was Thursday @ 2:30pm and I needed a bad they had in stock delivered to me (in Southern California) by Friday. I called and spoke to Justin (I believe it was Justin, if not, sorry for the wrong person) and he quickly jumped into action giving me overnight quotes over the phone, even stating he would walk the item to UPS himself if he needed to. Item was delivered on Friday @ 9:50am. Amazing customer service! read more

Owner and globally curated selection of "must have" apparel, footwear, and accessory pieces are second to none. Stop in and check them out.

Machus is my go to clothing boutique in Portland. They carry brands that can't be found anywhere else on the west coast outside of LA. If you are looking for a store that has clothing that ranges from avant to classic with a twist, this is the place for you. read more

Good service but they only do returns for in-store credit. Even if it's not a clothing item. I just think thats ridiculous.

This is like one superior artisan cheese store. Ok, they don't sell cheese nor the store does smell like it. I don't even know why I made such analogy. They sell nice, well made, and artisan like clothes and accessories. And when I say well made, prices comes with it too. ;) Don't despair, they always run sale. The sought after brands and fabrics they use goes affordable more often than not. Due to the size of the store, the items are limited to the basic colors, classic styles, functional yet modern fit. To all APC aficionados, they have them. You also must watch out for their Apolis accessories. They are worth the stare. They don't disappoint. Trust me. Try visiting them. read more

The only place of it's kind in the Northwest! Excellent selection, cool design of the store, and fair-ish prices (for the brands and quality you're buying). Some of the staff (depends on what day you go) can be mildly off-putting if you are not as stylish as they are, but go in with a level head and you'll walk out feeling much more confident. Check it out! read more

Justin Machus has impeccable taste. He's a style genius that has brought a flavor to Portland that it lacks on every other level, for the most part. It's perfectly located off of Burnside. Make sure you put it on your list. It has international appeal. read more

Great store that sells hard to find brands like APC, Saturdays surf and Isaora. The staff is always helpful and nice and the space is minimal and modern and beautiful. Stop by and check it out for yourself you won't be disappointed. read more

I love this place for a few reasons. 1) Excellent service. My Dad and I came in here over a month ago and the gentleman working, I believe his name is Tim, spent at least an hour with us helping my Dad to find the perfect pair of denim. He was very helpful without being at all pushy and had the best advice in regards to sizing and various brands. Flash forward to today, I go in to buy my Dad a last minute Christmas present. Tim, not only remembers exactly what my Dad got last time we were in but he also remembers my Dads build and size. Tim knew exactly what sweaters and zip ups would fit my Dad. He even remembered which one I had mentioned liking during our last visit. Given that we have only come in ONCE before, I was stunned! This gentlemans attentiveness to his customers is a huge reason why we will continue to shop at this store. 2) The clothing is really great quality. My Dad loves the jeans he got there-I feel like they are the type of jeans that will last a lifetime and they only ran him about $100! He has worn them both numerous times and they look new. And he wants more! I especially like these jeans because they are slim, without being skinny and the denim that he bought doesn't have a brand, which is really nice for those who don't necessarily want to flash around that they are wearing G Star, Rag & Bone, etc. Plus, without a brand/logo, the jeans run less than $100. Anyway, I am blown away by the service at this place...and the clothing is beautiful. We will be back! Thanks Tim, you are awesome! read more

!! AVENT-GARDE !! Top 25 online men's store in the world...and it's located in Portland! This sheik store peaks my interests in modern style every time I visit. The store maintains its appeal to menswear, but as a woman, I always find comfy sexy shirts, sweatshirts, and sweatpants! Unique accessories and scents are also available which helps in finding the best gifts for friends. I believe that the prices are fair since the owners support small creative designers from around the world. Don't miss out on the sale rack, always packed with fantastic threads that are priced at a steal! The service is superb, the owners and employees love their products and are kind and cool to everyone I've seen walk through their doors. Machus is, and will always be, my #1 store to visit when I return home to Portland. read more

See all

Machus is next level. They kick knowledge in the fashion game as well as offer international high fashion and street brands to the Pacific Northwest market. Although this is a menswear boutique, this spot also satisfies a gender neutral fashion sense but for you smaller sizes get there asap because it sells quick. Machus represents the new new in culture, art and fashion and Portland and it's surrounding areas are so lucky to have an outlet like this. Some brands that they carry : Machus Private Label, Wilfry, Y3, HBA, John Elliot, Tabor Made, ETC... MachusOnline.com read more

I wont bust balls as hard as David M did, but I will say I echo his sentiment. Machus has been open for a little over a year now but seems to still be trying to find its voice. Im unclear what lifestyle this store is selling. Are we super modern high end or are we northwestern built tough. Further, the womens section is very confusing to me. There is a small collection of mostly very modern expensive pieces with little to tie it together with. Was the idea after Local35 to just sell more expensive clothing? I feel the identity of the store needs to be clarified utilitarian or ary-ultra modern. In both cases the showroom feels very cold and exposed which can be the difficulty when struggling with a modern asthetic. If I could wave a magic wand, I would want more warmth and better selection in the women's section. As it stands I know to expect the pricetag to be huge but I would love to see the garment actually be worth the price. read more

Amazing store, great location, great building. Owner was super friendly and helped me pick up some really nice finds.

One of my all-time favorite clothing stores. A bit pricey, but what can you expect from all designer clothing? Beautiful building and modern decoration that makes the store just pop, employees that really care, and amazing quality of clothing. These guys not only offer good designer clothing, but smaller time artists clothing too. Very good store and would recommend 10/10. read more

Bomb store everything is so young and hip !!! I love it. Finally a fashion forward store in Portland. Helmet Lang and stamped and plenty of more designers all for men. read more

I recently went there and guess what...most of the nudie jeans were HALF off!! I was super excited and bought a few pairs. I think the decision of the owner to focus on a slightly higher-end market was a good decision. Before only focusing on this location I do believe the owner also ran LOCAL 35 over on Hawthorne. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I would recommend going in a giving them a look around. Especially right now as a new season is among us and they have many great discounts. read more

Even tho they're like family to me, in a serious unbiased opinion this is the number 1 place in Portland to shop for men's clothing and accessories! I love fashion and I respect every unique designer even the ones that I don't really like to wear. There's nothing better than wearing a handmade piece made by nid de guepes, in Paris, France, along with a cotton Machus Keller tee that feels like silk and never loses its finish! And I love designer like givenchy, Rick Owens, Helmut Lang, etc. but when the pieces are very close to the same design but designers like siki Im are using better quality fabrics and are selling them at least 50% cheaper it only makes sense why you'd want to shop at Machus! Well maybe that's just me cause I like to think logically.. They like man haji where you get all your clothes? I always tell em Machus, but these people too slow.. Lol Peace, love, and positivity! read more

I think I Voted for Pedro once. No problems there. I used to wear a three wolf moon shirt. Pretty damn proud of it, too. I rocked the high top fade and z cavaricci Hammer pants back in the day (yes, with tight roll). Probably proudest of that. However, I didn't fully blossom until I discovered Machus and found the perfect wingman to my nightlife. Pricey? Whatever. They (He?) sells stuff that makes the ladies want to be near you. Granted, the Drakkar helps, but mostly it's the clothes. And since not everyone has my divine looks or silver tongue, you best suit up with something better than what you bought at Walmart. Be American. Shop local. Pwn the night. Thank me in the morning. read more

Machus is a new minimal clothing store for men and women from Justin Machus of Local 35. Machus is a little higher end, while still maintaining Local 35's traditions of killer sales and deals for people on their mailing list. Almost all the clothing was neutral, black, brown, navy, grey and white when I stopped in. There is a greater variety in women's sizes than Local 35, while the mens runs to my narrower body type. There has definitely been thought put into the fibers and textures. There are also some unique jeans lines. There are accessories, and a small selection of shoes. The space matches the store. It's in one of Portland's most forward architectural efforts, the Bside6 building, adjacent to Mirakutei. Machus is one of Portland's best options for fine men's clothing in the realm of sweaters, shirts, jackets and jeans, and they have women's clothing too! If you have questions, Justin is a great style consultant. read more

Best men's store in Portland. Seriously. The staff is incredibly friendly and personable and will help you with anything you need. Don't listen to Jonny W. - they've never treated anyone differently in the five to six times I've been in (and it's been busy). Don't hesitate to ask questions as the staff and owner Justin are more than happy to give you details and the low down about their newest brands. I've learned a ton shopping here. read more

A friend who's a Portland native and close to the couple who owns this shop took me here on my trip to Oregon last Spring. This shop is by far one of the edgiest and stylish boutiques in Portland. I bought some perfume that contained very exotic ingredients including bulls blood (myth or reality, I dare not inquire) given the inspiration was one of the bullfighter, that I still get compliments on when spraying. Let's just say if Rick Owens was to visit his long lost brother in Portland, he'd find him behind the stylish curtains of this store. read more

You get what you pay for, and if you like quality men's ware that is wll -made and stylish, this is the one of the best shops in Portland. Super helpful-staff, well merchandised, great open space, and next to one of the best little sushi/ramen spots in Portland. Love the vibe of this store. read more

I always enjoy checking out what they have for mens gear at Machus. They carry a lot of unique and interesting brands, particularly here in the northwest. The owner is very friendly and helpful. A trip here can be costly, but worth it if you find the right piece. But no tax in PDX is awesome...and they can ship! read more

This is the greatest mens modern fashion boutique in Portland. They carry a plethora of brands you could not find anywhere else. Aside from the most excellent selection, The owners (Justin & Juline) offer up the best retail customer service in this town. Their employees are amazing and you can expect a very unpretentious atmosphere. I was introduced to this store a little over a year ago and I'm hooked. read more

The owner is amazingly friendly and has great style. I was surprised to find such a great selection of modern wearable clothing.

Can't believe I forgot to review this place since its one of the first stores i drop by every time I go back home for the holidays. Like other reviews stated this is the best men's fashion boutique in Portland. Customer service is what sets this place apart from every boutique I've been to. Case in point I stopped by during thanksgiving break to buy a couple pieces from ADYN and the owner's wife Juline as she rang me up applied their thanksgiving sale discount a couple days early. The sales associate that was helping me was not too pushy while also offering me drinks while I shopped. Overall the atmosphere was laid back and everyone in the store is welcoming. read more

Amazing store. Amazing taste in designers... Just wish they would bother to order xs's for the ladies inclined to shop here. I bought their signature scent machus several years ago and ran out so quick I had to get another bottle. It's a magical story of the owners family tradition in retail, I enjoyed the story & it Makes this store and their smell so much more special and DIALED! read more

A super niche menswear store. If you are into the goth ninja / dark streetwear aesthetic and regularly shop at V-FILES or Wild Style, this is the place to be in PDX. They stock some hard-to-find labels like Arcteryx Veilance. The staff is super attentive and know their stuff. Highly recommended. read more

I have never had a shopping experience as great as here. Staff was super cool and offered me a refreshment while I looked around. I am from Lincoln, NE and had previously bought a few things online which judging by their packaging lead me to hold them to a high standard which they exceeded when going there in person. No doubt I will go back if I am ever in the Portland area again. read more

A fantastic store with fantastic clothes. The owner is incredibly sweet, very helpful and has amazing taste in clothes.

Machus is awesome. It's obviously expensive but that's to be expected. They do offer sales and sale items. Very nice people there, they are very helpful without being rude or pressuring you. Walked out with some Qasa High's! read more

As a fan of nice well made clothing, I find myself shopping in this store about 90% of the time I go shopping. There really isn't another store selling this kind of merchandise in town. I don't buy something every time I shop here but it is always a great experience. Coupons come out almost monthly if you are on the email list and they sale racks are filled with great clothing, often half off. Everything sold here is PROVEN quality. read more

Looked great from the window! Were never open during their said hours. Closed 20 minutes early and didn't open till 1:30 the following day. Took time twice out of my trip to come check this place out but never got the chance. Probably won't try again. read more

I am not sure whats up with the bad reviews about Machus, they seem to focus on cost only. If you can't afford it, how does that warrant a bad review?. Thats like going to the movie, and then reviewing the price of the ticket. Anyway, I have been a customer of Local 35 since it began and was very excited to see the new vision that the owner, Justin Machus was creating. The clothing, like the space is minimalist and thats a great thing. I have had nothing but great buying experiences in this store. Justin is obviously a man who cares about dressing the world a little nicer, one designer at a time. Having recently moved from Portland, I am very excited to be able to shop and purchase on line. After all is said and done, if you like style and want to experience what a real specialty store is supposed to be, then give Machus a try. If you are curious but can't afford it, its still okay to look and be in awe, of a $595 sweater. read more

I was first introduced to Machus through a friend, and I was thoroughly impressed to see what they have to offer. Every time I've walked through their doors, I've been greeted by a warm and helpful staff. The clothes are of high quality, but that does not mean that they gouge you over their prices. I was fawning over a brand called Rivieras online, and I was deeply disappointed that they charged so much for shipping. I tried other retailers, and couldn't find the brand anywhere. You couldn't imagine my surprise when I walked into Machus and saw they carried it. I am an ardent believer of "you get what you pay for," and Machus is worth every penny. read more

Made it a point to come and visit the store after following them on Instagram for the last few years. Came in and was greeted be Cole who was super friendly and aggressive in letting us know what's new in the store. Did a few laps and left picking up a Machus Crew Neck Sweater and hat. Jacob rang me up and was also pretty friendly. Machus did not disappoint and I will definitely be back the next time I am in Portland! read more
