Disappointed. Call me "old school" but greeting me when I walk in the door goes a long way. Hey, even an acknowledgment! We walked in the door, to a shop devoid of any other customers, and then were completely ignored by 2 salespeople who were obviously in a personal conversation about something more important than us. I have worked retail for over 10 years and know the importance of professionalism and good customer service and it starts with the basics. Needless to say, our wallets never left our pockets. We marched over to Martin Fitzpatrick and were blown away by not only their product, but the kindness and politeness given to us by their staff read more

No, I'm not the target demographic for a high-end menwear shop... but I like how mantiques like BlackBlue and Askov Finlayson and MartinPatrick3 are actually giving guys a place to buy stylish clothes. If my fiance were less of a man-beast (he's too tall for most clothing in general), if I physically brought him here and if I hid all the price tags, I like to think he'd shop here too. (What can I say? My fiance is a classy man who describes his look as "artfully disheveled." We all have our strengths.) In addition the the mostly American-made and Nordic clothing, they have some fun accessories for biking (leather 6-pack holder that I got my fiance for his birthday one year), camping (HOODED WALKING SLEEPING BAG SUIT?!?!) and some great home decor items like a woolen badger face pillow that I want in my house really badly. Also, the Faribault Woolen Mills blankets. Gimme. Dem. Blankets. read more

Levi's - Minneapolis - Men's Clothing Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

If you've a few extra benjamins lying about, go check out Askov Finlayson for some well-made clothing. Along with Martin Patrick 3, the North Loop is quickly becoming your Dapper Dan shopping destination. Hours are a little off - on weekdays they don't open until noon - but since this is housed in the same building as Bachelor Farmer and Marvel Bar, it makes sense. The Dayton brothers recognize you can only wait for your reservation playing Angry Birds for so long, so why not go shopping? Askov Finlayson have stocked hard-to-find brands like Norse Project, Penfield USA, Fjällräven, and Barbour. Lots of Scandinavian-sourced or inspired goods. You can find them online for sure, but it's nice to see these items up close in person. While they do stock some women's Barbour jackets, this is primarily a men's store with some unisex accessories. I wasn't too put off by this though, looking was pretty fun. The staff was very nice and I like the small touches like handwritten price tags. Everything is thought out and well-made; I was lusting over the Hestra X Norse Projects deerskin gloves, so soft and warm! Fjällräven - "Arctic Fox" in Swedish - is a fun outdoor brands that started out with their most enduring product, the Kånken daypacks. They are also stocked here! I have two - a mini and a regular one - and I love them so much. Even though I ought to be carrying a proper-lady bag, I find myself using these much more because they're so damn practical. Yes, the cheapest thing in the store is probably around twenty bucks. This is not a place for impulse buys. But if you like practical, stylish design and enduring quality, please look here. If you've had one too many drinks at Marvel Bar before coming here though, I am not responsible for your soon-to-be empty wallet. read more

I know I'm not alone in thinking this, but the Dayton brothers have ridiculously good taste. And I am completely smitten with their new additions to the North Loop: Marvel bar, The Bachelor Farmer and Askov. I dropped in here the other day and felt like I was transported to the West Village instead of Minneapolis...though after a quick pan of the room, the "Norse" t-shirts and handmade sweaters gave it a distinctive Minnesotan vibe. It's really a beautiful store and you can tell that there is a lot of thought behind product selection and layout. The store is (obviously) geared towards men, but there are some gorgeous sweaters for the ladies if you're willing to drop a few $$$ on a unique, handmade item. Go check it out! read more

This place is amazing. My new favorite menswear shop in the Twin Cities area. If you have any interest in clothing, guy or girl, get here now. Smaller than I expected, but the quality and selection of the goods more than make up for it. Barbour? Yes please. Penfield? Get on my body, now. Boast and Gant Rugger and more? This is menswear heaven. GQ posted on them a few months ago... Askov Finlayson definitely deserves the accolade. Yeah, it's pricey, but it's a bunch of cool and unique (but classic and high quality) stuff you'll own for a while. There's tons of fun little gifts- think cool posters, neat books and cool things like MN state outline embroidered Smathers & Bronson dog collars. A serious thought ran in my head that I should get a dog so I can get this collar... Also, I need one of those cool painted paddles behind the register in my apartment. Shop staff is super friendly and talkative but not uppity. They know about the brands and definitely don't force anything on you. Follow them on FB and Instagram for cool looks at the store and new merch. They post sales as well! read more

My go to shop in Minneapolis. Located in the heart of the North Loop, surrounded by beautiful restaurants. Its a great place to catch a buzz and go shopping for amazing men's clothing and crafts. Not cheap but everything is well made. Looking forward to going back!!! read more

I took my boyfriend here yesterday, and now I have created a monster. A very expensive monster. Askov is basically the epitome of Minnesota chic - their shelves are stocked with men's basics (pants, flannel button-downs, outerwear), and they also carry blazers, dress shirts, and ties for when a gentleman wants to get fancy. One side of the store is devoted to accessories (leather wallets, watches, etc.), gifts, and things for the home (think cocktail shakers and coffee table books) with an emphasis on locally produced inventory. As if that weren't enough, they also have a Warby Parker showroom in the back section of the store, which is staffed by an optician - super helpful for placing orders and also for getting a second opinion on the bold frames you pick out (I have my eye on the Jennings model). Also, there's bubble hockey! If you're looking for a gift for the fashion-forward man in your life, look no further than this place. The quality of their products is impeccable, but high price tags come right along with it. Be sure to prepare your bank account accordingly! read more

This is a fabulous addition to the North Loop! Cool menswear, throw blankets & leather goods make this store worth the trip. I picked up a Penfield flannel shirt for my husband this weekend. I could have bought more, but with prices ranging from $80-$250, I had to unfortunately pull the plug! Super friendly staff, beautiful clothes & awesome accessories. Check it out! read more

Are you into #menswear? Looking for things that will make your business bro boyfriend look like he might know how to cut down trees and make fires and things? This might be the perfect store for you or for the lumberjack who reads Monocle in your life! As others have said, Askov sells mostly high-quality classic American/Scandinavian men's clothing, shoes and accessories. Service is really attentive and great and they always seem to be having good sales at the end of seasons. Last time I was in, I warned by boyfriend not to put his fancy minimalistic Euro-raincoat down because someone might try to buy it. Sure enough, about a half hour into shopping, a wild bro picked it up and asked said boyfriend about it: "I actually already have this but just haven't seen this colorway before. Did you get it at Martin Patrick 3?" I think that captures the spirit of the shop pretty well. read more

It's a low key, upscale, yet still casual, tiny shop hidden in the Warehouse district. There's no loud and obvious signs, so unless you have set out to look for it specifically, it can be a place that's easy to miss. The price range can be pricey, with jewelry staring around $80.00 and clothing starting at around $200.00. The quality and unique items you find though, may make it worth the price. The look, feel and setup of the entire shop is uncommon to find in a small midwest city like Minneapolis. This kind of shop is certainly more prevalent in NYC and reminds me of small shops I've frequented in Japan. Speaking of which, the shop carries a specific brand of Jeans from Okayama prefecture, an area right next to Osaka. I was really surprised to see Momotaro Jeans. It's well known in Japan, but certainly not here in America. It's quite possible, this is the only place in America so far that carries the Momotaro brand. In any case, this makes me highly suspicious that the buyers for this shop would have spent some significant time in Okayama before. Such a fun idea though to bring over some Okayama influences. read more

Who buys this stuff? They're like the Hollister of Minnesota, being that in Askov and Finlayson actually dress in snowmobile outfits not trendily branded outerwear. Glad to see every other review addresses their useless nature though read more

Essentially this is a boutique men's store for the "up north" look. More specifically, the trendy, hipster, North Loop look. Lots of unique pieces at higher than necessary prices. I imagine that frat bros love this place. read more

Let me share my positive experience. A few weeks back, I discovered to my dismay that a certain item I wanted was out of stock. I e-mailed the store manager to see if and when they planned to get more. The reply was prompt and courteous but ultimately disappointing: no more were to be expected in this season. Yesterday, however, I got a follow-up e-mail. They scrounged up a handful of them and were putting them up for sale: "I am sure they will go fast, but we wanted to give you a shot at them!" This is utterly superlative customer service. Sure, some of the store items are on the pricey side. But that's a worthwhile tradeoff for local, well-made clothing and accessories. Highly recommended. read more

Incredible service. Very discerning, tasteful, and exclusive selection. If you want a clothing or accessory item that is unique, handmade, and extremely high quality, go here. read more

Very insulting and poor customer service. They were talking about me not knowing my husband was right there. All I wanted was to buy a pair of WP sunglasses a day ago and they would not take an order on the phone. When I went in to get them they belittled my attempt to make a purchase and loudly called me Warby lady. Not my idea of customer service. Will not get my money again. Jeanette read more

I loved this store. I live in Manhattan and was passing through. I picked up a few great pieces and the service was top shelf.
