Bridge & Burn

Great store! The quality of their clothes is amazing and so soft! The customer service was warm and welcoming and they were having a 50% off sale on already marked down items.

Absolute favorite store! I just walked-​in to take a look and bought a jacket I know I will own and love for many years to come. That’s the kind of clothing you can expect to find in this store. Beautiful designs impeccably crafted. I saw many items I loved everything with beautiful attention to detail in the design and make. Ex: A short sleeve women’s button-​up blouse, beautifully cut w/​just the right collar to button up all the way, delicate fabric covered buttons in a soft luxurious drapey black twill that is perfection, or same in a denim type cobalt blue fabric. Understated, quality are words that come to mind. These are great clothes. Also, they donate 1% of sales continuously to charity, awesome! I particularly like that nobody bugged me while I shopped. It’s my preference. I rather ask for help if and when I need it. Otherwise let me be. In time I did ask for help and had a fun and pleasant conversation with sales person. I’m not into the whole smiley, forced small talk thing.

Bridge & Burn, beyond making beautiful clothing (with sleeves long enough for a tall girl like me!), epitomizes why buying from independent, small-​scale retailers is the way to go. They’ve been so flexible and helpful in my years as a customer: replacing a beloved Warbler jacket with zero hassle when I had an issue with the lining, extending the return-​by date on a gift I was buying someone kind of far in advance, changing an online order for me after I’d placed it and including a cute Bridge & Burn pencil in the package, responding to my annoying emails about out-​of-​stock items, etc., promptly and pleasantly …
The quality is fantastic, and the prices are surprisingly mellow considering it’s not mass-​produced sweatshop schlock. Such simple, timeless yet distinct designs, too. I always feel good about spending my bucks at Bridge & Burn! And I wear the hell out of everything I’ve purchased there x

I purchased a jacket for my girlfriend for our anniversary. I was really excited because I knew she loved the jacket and it was a Portland retailer and I like to support local businesses. I don’t make much money so dropping $ 250 on a jacket isn’t an oh whatever decision for me. Who better to spend it on though. She loved the jacket and all was great. Until a year later when a grommet fell off. It was for the drawstring for the hood and right below her chin. Quite noticeable. I lived in Seattle by this time and brought it into the downtown Portland store when I was home visiting. The staff were helpful and looked to see if they had another of that style. No luck. They kept the jacket and were going to take it to a tailor. I called a week later to see if it was going to be fixable. They had not taken it to the tailor yet. Which I later found out was on the same block as the store. So it wasn’t that much of an effort. Another week goes by and I didn’t hear from the store. I call and they inform me that nothing can be done. So they knew the answer but didn’t call. They mailed the jacket back to me with a 25% off coupon. No thanks, I’m not interested in buying supposedly quality clothes that can only manage to stay together for a year. Even for 25% off. So if you have money to burn and don’t care if your lightly worn clothes only last a year before they start to fall apart then this is the place for you.

Bridge and Burn makes FANTASTIC clothes, but their service leaves more than a little to be desired. I was so disappointed by my experience at the store that it prompted me to write my first Unilocal review.
My friend and I walked in to the store on a Saturday afternoon about a week ago only to be greeted by silence. My attempts at a greeting promptly fell on deaf ears. We were the only people in the store for the entirety of our visit and not once were we offered help of any sort or really words of any kind. In fact, I had to outright ask the staff if I could purchase the shirt I had been holding while standing in front of the register for several minutes. Upon some coaxing, one of the employees did finally speak briefly while she rang us up at the register. However, her coworker remained cold and silent for the remainder of our visit. I was EXTREMELY disappointed by this interaction.
As a Portland native, I easily grow tired of the overt «too cool for school» attitude that can be displayed by many in our city. Rather than continuing down this path, I encourage Bridge and Burn to rethink their approach toward each customer. There is no room in our city for a company that doesn’t respect its patrons.

I haven’t actually been in the store (yet) because I live in Seattle but i was doing some very last minute bday shopping online for my very picky boyfriend. I found a raincoat that he would love but sadly it was out of stock. After giving up for a day and looking elsewhere I knew that i couldn’t leave it at that.
I called the store to see if they still had it on their racks but sadly no, again. I spoke with Sarah C. and she was so freaking helpful!!! I’ve never had such a good retail experience over the phone. She took my info and said she’d look into the stores who stock their brand. I prepared never to hear from her again. MINUTES later I got a call from the store. She had found the jacket online in the size I was looking for.
I AM SO THANKFUL and I can’t wait to visit the store in person

I simply love this store. They have the colors and patterns in which I mostly like. Gray and plaid.
Yes, I just made plaid a color to dull my already pale tone. Simple, basic and chic.
What can be understated can be overpriced. That’s the only draw that I’m seeing. But other than that, the store is alright.
Is a $ 38 tshirt /​$ 130 button down shirt fair to you? To some of us, it’s pretty standard and decent. If you are budget conscious, you’ll be disappointed. But feel free to look around.

Great place to pick up a cute t-​shirt, coat, or really, anything!
The quality is great, but you buy for the design.
I tend to hit up the sale section strictly, due to budget constraints.

One of the many things I enjoy about Portland is its reputation as a design and fashion town. It’s not that I dress or accessorize in any high fashion sense (just ask Gayle about my baggy choices), but I do enjoy looking and occasionally buying.
I’m on Bridge & Burn’s email list and I had a chance to visit their «brick and mortar» store during my recent trip to Portland. They carry a nice line of men’s and women’s apparel that is clean, well-​crafted, and functional. They also carry a couple cool lines of backpacks and other bags, jewelry, and hats. Prices seem OK, and look even better when one of their sale offers pops up on my screen.
So whether shopping virtually or in analog, Bridge & Burn is definitely worth a look and a maybe a stop by with Gayle. Afterall, behind every well dressed man, is a woman that might know more about his taste that he does.

The price is definitely fair for how cool the clothing is!
The menswear is really the highlight of this store, I would recommend it to any urban, fashionable, man I know!
The women’s wear is not quite as good as the menswear…
I will definitely be returning to buy a t-​shirt!

Lucky, lucky me. I had not heard of this clothing brand before, but had the good fortune of wandering into the flagship store on a recent visit to Portland. For me, it was love at first sight. The designs are precise and perfect and the clothing is impeccably made. I got a black cotton jacket with red and white checked lining that can easily be a lightweight outdoor jacket AND a stylish alternative to a spring blazer in the office. The designs remind me of some of the wonderful Japanese designer clothing I like so much. But don’t get me wrong, Bridge and Burn is unique. It is classic and fresh at the same time. The store is lovely and the staff very nice and helpful, but not one bit pushy. After coming home and looking up the store on line, I discovered the brand’s popularity in other stores. Like I said… lucky me!

So excited that the adorable designs of Bridge & Burn now have a prime retail spot!
