The wife needed a few pairs of longer socks for our next country of Ireland which is colder than most of Europe right now, especially at night. They only had a small selection of the high socks and not the right size, but settled for a pair of sandals for 1.3€ - what a deal. We've been to several Primarks in the United States but the size of this one is overwhelming. FYI: this was NOT a paid attraction in Amsterdam.

I stumbled on this Primark while exploring the endless canals. I had no idea they have stores…read moreoutside of the states. From the outside, it seems it would not be big; however, to my surprise, there are multiple levels and sectioned for any and everything you can think of. Men/Women/Children's clothing, accessories, makeup, etc. It was like a maze! Needless to say, for that reason I was inside far longer than I anticipated. One thing they have in common is the same great prices. I guess that may be a company standard worldwide, which is a good thing! I purchased an adorable bucket hat and a few other accessories as keepsakes.

This is one of the several We shops around Amsterdam. My buddy spotted it while we were walking in…read morethe neighborhood, and I was looking for a jacket to fight off the rain and chill of Amsterdam in October. The prices are comparable to H&M and the selection, though small, is better. I picked up a great jacket that comes with a zipped in hood for only €65 that did the job and was very nice. I was tempted to avail myself of some of their shirts and pants as well, which were all nice and at good prices. I'd never heard of this shop but afterwards started to see advertisements for it all over town. Definitely worth a look. This particular one is only for men.

There is a large selection. They also have some polo shirts. The owner was super helpful and friendly. I bought a really cool Pucci-style print shirt and smart striped polo shirt in a deco style. They are open 1-7 everyday!

So I'm browsing through my shirt collection and on one of my hangers I found my ultra cool fancy…read moreshirt I bought in 2009-2010. I still remember this shop as if it were yesterday. The Shirt Shop, I always thought was named Shirtz or something because that's what's on the label. Came here years ago after noticing their unique line of dress shirts/party shirts/unique patterned shirts right in front of the window. The shirts are everything from fancy to cool to hip. I got one! Woohoo. I got a Shirtz. Depending on your choice each shirt can cost 100-300+ Euros. Sizing can be limited at times. Meaning Men's 42+ (when I visited, I recalled the sizing for smaller than Men's size 40 was very limited). The boutique store is small in itself, literally just an aisle downstairs. Dressing room is upstairs, the other aisle spaced section, with some more but limited options like shorts, t-shirts, bags, etc... I thought the staff to be quite helpful, answered my questions on refund policy (not that I used it, but nothing wrong with inquiring), stock in sizing and customizing. All in all not a bad experience just to look.

All these years shopping for clothes at big departmental stores had me forget what a memorable and…read morepersonable experience it used to be growing up when we all had our favourite stores for different kinds of clothing. De Mof has been around for more than 100 years and have preserved the personalised experience for all their patrons. The owner is a nice gentle old man who goes out of his way to find exactly the right fit for you. I went in looking for a new belt and ended up getting extra holes in my current belt along with a new one. They stock a lot of designs and sizes, too. The layout is tasteful and you can see that they have personally designed the interior. There are also 3 fitting rooms inside. I also bought a pair of jeans, and the owner personally followed me with different designs and fits. He also suggested the perfect fits after I tried all of them. This is what service should be - not a bunch of teenagers walking around folding jeans you tried. In the end, I settled with a pair and the owner adjusted the length on the spot. Turns out he's also got a sewing machine for immediate alterations! The cash register is old style and I couldn't see any technology during the check-out process, except for the PIN reader. Even the receipt is handwritten. They have an 8 day return policy, but I doubt I'd be returning my purchase. I sure will go back to buy more, as should you.

It's a men's store and as a woman I felt so welcome. Peter was his name. After trying on a couple of hats I was happy to find one. It was a Panamanian hat that perfectly fit me. The price was a little bit higher than I what I typically pay for a hat but the customer experience that I received made a lot of difference for me. I also bought a small gift for a friend to take home. Peter was very conversational while paying and answered our questions. Thank you for the great service you provided!
