I wondered if I should write this review... I really like this place, and consider Well Suited to be a well kept secret. So, If I tell you how great it is, then you will go there, buy up all their stuff, and leave nothing for me.... which would be tragic, and prove that old addage "No good deed goes unpunished.", but then I remembered that Portland, OR is notoriously badly dressed, and I relaxed. I can tell you they have fine 100% cashmere overcoats for $300 or less, and you won't pay any attention. I can tell you that the quality of clothes they carry are so high, and so well put together, that you can enjoy them for years to come. I can even explain that while you are buying $50 shirts made in sweatshops in indonesia with designer names across the front, which you will be embarrased to wear next year, that here $50 will buy you at least two, extremely well made shirts of the finest material, that have timeless style, which you will look good in forever, or at least until you smear pizza all over it and throw it in a laundry hamper with your bright red socks then wash everything together. I doubt even this will convince you. Perhaps this will convince you... the apparel industry today churns out clothes made to last a single season or two, made out of whatever is cheapest, from whomever will employ the poorest people at the least cost, and the unsavvy consumer is none the wiser. These clothes fit terribly, look bad and follow fads, and cost more over time than the finest clothes do, because you replace them all the time. The alternative is fine mens clothing, which you pay alot for... but its made to last, is made or altered to fit well, and is styled to look great forever. It retails at roughly ten times the cost of junk clothing... but you will love it for a lifetime At Well Suited, you can find the same mens clothing that is high quality, made to last forever, and can be tailored to you, at sub-junk prices.
Pros: high quality apparel, great service, unique stylish clothes, really great prices
Cons: limited selection due to consignment nature.
