Editorial Review for Banana Republic – by Citysearch Staff
In Short
Epitomizing office casual wear, Banana Republic started out as a small vendor of safari-inspired clothing before it was purchased by the Gap in 1983. Since then, it has grown into a brand-name behemoth that one-ups the Gap in quality, status and price--but not necessarily creativity. The core of the collection is constant: versatile staples such as khakis, button-down shirts, denim, T-shirts and jackets in solid, organic colors. Lengths and fabrics change slightly according to the season. Some stores have expanded into bedding, fragrance, bath and beauty, and home-furnishing lines.

This is by far the best Bannana Republic that I have been at. Lots of clothes in two rooms that are either hanging up nicely or on a special display. The staff is superb, especially Axel, who is all knowledgable about the merchandise and is real friendly ,and great to look at. Very pleasant experience in a great city that I love to visit. Portland is the best at Yamhill.
Pros: ambience. workers (axel)

During the late 90's banana was the bomb, but it seem there designers are using cheaper material and the quality has gone down, I use to love the stuff they got, now, its kinda of too modern and stiff and lacks creativity.
Pros: great suits, great dress clothes, nice women shoes
Cons: , casual stuff suck, men shoe sucks
