Brent Collier resembles Bruce Willis. But that's unimportant, we are in Portland and we don't care…read moreabout celebrity. In any event, he would would be the good Bruce Willis, not the bad. What is important in Portland is that Mr. Bruce, I mean Brent Collier has made a career of going to Italy and buying clothing direct, and the same with the NYLA garment districts. He brings it back to little, but creative Portland. Who else does that here? No one. And Collier has an excellent eye. He buys shirts, suits, jackets, sweaters, ties, belts scarves, and more, in small quantities. The quality is stellar, and the price earthbound. I found a great lightweight wool Italian suit at Collier with extra pants at a very, very reasonable price. Let's just say 1/4 to 1/3 the price of any place in the area. Same for some dress shirts which continue to draw compliments. Collier has a wider range of color than some of our stylish male clothing purveyors who hew to black, brown, gray and white. If you want unique suit fabrics at a reasonable price that would qualify you to be in The Sartorialist http://www.thesartorialist.com/, this is the only place in Portland. His former store was the Stockroom, and all the cool kids in town, now grownups, have been patrons for a while. If you need fashion advice or suggestions shopping, Collier can provide that too. Shopping for yourself, or anyone with a fashion sense, shopping for their boy, will be able to communicate their concept to Collier. And with the Wildfang phenomena, girls looking for the next level of boyfriend shirt look might look here. So anyone shopping for anyone looking for style, quality and unique is totally welcome. There might be spots like this in LA, SF or NY, but visitors to Portland shopping have the advantage of no sales tax. He changes the store up regularly, so it's worth checking in periodically. There is also a tailor right there for alterations. If you want style, quality, uniqueness and price in men's clothing; collar shirt, tie, jacket style, and even some sportswear, Collier is the best and most unique place in Portland.

Originally, my jacket was a size too large and the waist of the trousers needed to be reduced about 3 inches with the length shortened a little. He thoroughly explained his recommendations and limitations due to the original material and stitching and I felt reassured he knew what he was doing! He was able to finish in less than two weeks and the outcome was better than I expected tbh, definitely recommend!

They are the authority when it comes to leather in Portland! Love it! Stellar customer service.

The kilts are handcrafted and high quality; they're comfortable to wear and will last a long time, as they're clearly well made.

We went in on Halloween day due to my son deciding last minute he wanted/ needed a suit for his Halloween costume. Hands down Bailey was & is the best. She was knowledgeable, helpful, kind, & patient beyond measure. my son didn't have a good idea of what he wanted but I knew it would have to be comfortable, good quality, & to his style. He's quite discerning about his clothes, especially his formal attire. Bailey pieced together suit pants, tuxedo shirt, blazer, vest, & a tie that my son not only loved, felt confident in, but was also comfortable. My son tried on so many things & we were in the store for what felt like hours (it was under 45 minutes thanks to how knowledgeable Bailey is) but Bailey never made me feel rushed or bothersome. Her no pressure, calm, & kind sales approach is why we left happy & will return again & again. My son looked epic on Halloween & at the opera! I can't say enough good things about this store. Bailey definitely deserves all the credit.

The ladies were all helpful and asked me to let them know if I needed any assistance. They let me browse but offered to put a dress in the dressing room once I selected one. I noticed a few brides trying on dresses as well and the ladies were never pushy and actually one offered advice on what to expect with alterations. She mentioned a seamstress would be coming in shortly and could offer better advice. This alone seemed so helpful for the bride- what a wonderful service to be offered BEFORE you say yes to the dress. I ended up purchasing a gorgeous dress at a fraction of the price.

Elise and the volunteer worker (I forget her name) were absolutely so helpful and encouraging. They did not try to push me into buying anything as I was very indecisive about two of the dresses I tried. They also let me try on veils which were all gorgeous. I might check back here in a couple months to see if they have any other dresses I might like. If you're wanting to help a good cause while saving some money, this is a great place to do so!

There is a lot of leather jackets already for sale in which you can immediately purchase providing you find a fit that is good for you. Being a clothes horse myself I could easily place an order as well but I don't have anything specific in mind to pursue that at the moment.

Guess what, I won't be. Note: I did not purchase anything here. So I cannot speak to the quality of their goods. I'm only providing my experience with their salespeople. And since that's a huge part of the buying experience, I felt it necessary to leave this review.

As Joy mentioned, there are some kick ass deals on sample size (6-6.5, and sometimes a dapple of size 7s too) designer shoes and there are occasionally clothes that I like too. I have to say, it can be very hit or miss. There is a whole room, albeit a small one, filled with shoes but sometimes it's all a bunch of stuff I don't like. That doesn't mean you won't find a gem or two. Also, with the clothes, to be honest the selection is usually more suitable to my mom's taste than mine, but they get some quality young people designers in there too. I would definitely add this place as a stop on your trip to DSW and Bridgeport.
