Michael Allen’s

Great men’s clothing store. Excellent service. Alvin was a great sales person. I live in Los Angeles, but will be back to Portland for this shopping experience!

Excellent clothing line, accessories, AND SERVICE! My fiancé and I bought custom-​made wedding shirts here and bow ties for our wedding party. Everything fit well and looked beautiful, and the staff have an extensive knowledge of fashion and design. We’ll definitely return!

Superior customer service and brands. I came here to get outfitted for my non-​traditional wedding. Steven Goulet gave me wonderful service; he listened to the details of what I was looking for, offered great suggestions and got me into a pair of amazing C. P Company pants.
The price reflects the great craftsmanship and design with origins in Italy, Scandinavia, UK, and North America, and what you’ll find are cool, obscure high-​end designers. (Sorry Calvin and Hugo, you’re not invited.) Part of the Michael Allen’s experience is complimentary fashion consulting from associates with years of experience, and their knowledge of classic style to current trends. The experience also includes a complimentary beverage (espresso, top shelf hard liquor and water). What is also great about Michael Allen’s is that the price tag on my pants included the alteration!
Michael Allen’s wants to make sure you look great, and that your clothes fit as they provide exuberant customer service.

If you’re not wasting their time, they won’t waste yours. Among the top of my retail and customer service experiences, not only in Portland, but across the US. Thoroughly impressed.

Since I travel a lot — I tend to do most of my shopping in New York and other cities more fashion-​forward for men than Portland. However, this is a rare find among men’s stores, and would be a great shopping experience anywhere in the world. However, it is not for everyone, and it took me a while to figure out the vibe of the place. First of all, it is quite expensive, and at first glance it is sometimes difficult to picture yourself in some of the clothing. The best way to experience this store is to carve out a couple hours, come in and walk the store, relax, have a cocktail or a glass of wine which they happily provide to serious customers, and allow yourself to be guided a bit by the staff. Spend a lot of time trying on stuff — even clothing you would normally not look at — and you will probably find some gems. The quality of the garments are quite high, and you will find unusual brands with sumptuous fabrics. They do a great custom business too, and they are expert tailors. The store is small and beautiful; never busy, and quite wonderful. Expect a bit of shock when you get your credit card bill, but hopefully the wonderful clothes will be worth it.

My favorite clothier in town, and I’ve found the tailoring to be good (hems, minor alterations, etc.) … I’ve also appreciated when they’ve made recommendations for fit, as opposed to simply fulfilling requests as stated. Glad to find my favorite shirt makers carried there (Eton & Van Laack), and the service is friendly, without being sycophantic (as is the case with a few other local spots). I recommend it.

I happened into MA on a downtown shopping adventure with friends and was immediately unimpressed. The clothing was gaudy, the labels unimpressive, and the staff was incredibly condescending. The only decent items to be found were the LBM 1911 sportcoats and middling selection of denims. Prices were outrageously inflated (Grensons for close to $ 500? Bah!) as well. Just keep on walking, for your own good.

Went here for the first time this past weekend. One of my groomsmen wanted to treat me to an outfit for our rehearsal dinner coming up in August.
Both John (Wickham) and Joanna (Henrick) helped us pick out some options to try on, with John doing the bulk of the heavy lifting (so to speak).
I tried on a number of different pants/​slacks, shirts and shoes. They have a great selection of really well chosen designer clothing. And these are most likely names you haven’t heard of, but put out a great product.
After looking at some less formal options, we decided on some beautiful light wool black pants and a stunning striped button up shirt. They should match very nicely with Ms. K.‘s ensemble for the rehearsal dinner, so she’s stoked about that. I think they go really well together, and really appreciate John’s expert help and input. Even more importantly, I appreciate my friend’s incredible generosity, inasmuch as the prices here are enough to take your breath away. Not for the penny-​pincher or price-​conscious shopper, this place has really cool stuff, and the prices definitely reflect that.
They offered Ms. K. some wine while we were trying stuff on and my groomsman and I had some scotch – always helpful for me to get through a clothes-​shopping expedition. In addition, there are two store dogs there! Max and Charlie help supervise everything that is going on here.
Friendly, professional, incredibly knowledgeable staff along with some amazing clothing makes this a great place if you’re looking for an outfit for that special occasion.
