Tucked away on Canal Street in Fremont lies an industrial-chic showroom housing top-of-the-line menswear and accessories: hip jeans, hoodies, leather goods, luxe sweatpants, Japanese indigo denim, wool coats—you get the picture. This place is a one-stop shop for men looking for quality and style; a true hidden gem.

Eames NW
Fremont
Recognized by Gear Patrol as one of the nation’s best menswear stores, Adrian Eames’s slick menswear boutique treads the line between the latest fashions and timeless, true-to-form Seattle function.
Glasswing
Capitol Hill
This Melrose Market men’s and women’s boutique looks like the apartment of your coolest friend, the one with tendrily plants, an expertly stocked wet bar, charcoal soap in the bathroom, and a dresser full of lived-in denim. Find a large offering of stylish clothes, home goods, and plants, plus an on-site gallery of local artists and a variety of workshops.
Standard Goods
Ballard, Capitol Hill
With locations in Ballard and Capitol Hill, this urban oasis is packed with on-trend clothing, accessories, and U.S.-made gifts. Stock up on layer-ready basics that won’t fall apart on you like certain fast-fashion chains in town. Standard Goods focuses on contemporary American-made apparel for men and women in any season.
Freeman
Capitol Hill
Around the corner from the oh-so-popular Joe Bar on Capitol Hill is a cool and particularly cozy shop featuring locally made classic menswear such as rain jackets, denim, flannels, and Seattle pennants. The owners are intimately involved in every step of production and make a profound effort to ensure you’re putting your hard earned dollars toward something that will endure the miles.
Jackstraw
Downtown/Pike Place Market
Established in 2008 by owners John Richards and Paola Medina, Jackstraw is a stylish brick-and-mortar with hip, upscale mens and womenswear—like J.Crew, if J.Crew were blown in from the sea on warm wind. They opened their shop to provide clothes that tell stories, hold character, and are beautifully constructed, simplified, and comfortable. Not sure how to tell your story? Book a free appointment with John or in-store stylist Sandy.
Filson
SoDo, Ballard
This SoDo flagship (and its younger sibling on Ballard Ave) is the standard-bearer for Seattle’s unofficial uniform of long-sleeve flannels, forest-green down vests, ribbed beanies, and other apparel you could just as easily wear on a weekend fishing trip as at a weekday happy hour.
Swing by Filson's Ballard location for a more low-key shopping experience than you'll find at the impressive SoDo flagship.

UnderU4Men
Capitol Hill
Step away from the Hanes six pack (and start showing off yours): The Capitol Hill outpost of this Portland-founded shop focuses on high-quality, fashion-forward men's underwear, from everyday to risque. Not interested in upping your unmentionables game? UnderU4Men also carries a solid stock of swimwear through the winter and "the only offering of Speedo on the Hill."
Throwbacks NW
Capitol Hill
For die-hard Seattle fans and those who simply appreciate quality vintage, Throwbacks NW is the city’s go-to stop for old-school jerseys, pristine snapbacks, and comfy crewnecks in the fonts, colorways, and teams (we miss you, Sonics) of an era that’s bygone, but not forgotten.
