Online clothing puchase advice:…read more I own several Portland Gear bags, but use caution when purchasing their clothing online. Think about trying to find it in the store to try it on. They are not friendly about returns. I'm sure it makes sense on the accounting side, but between shipping and returning 2 t-shirts, I'm almost $20 out-of-pocket. I rushed things and didn't take the time to go into the store because I was leaving for a trip. But they didn't ship in time for the trip and when I got back and tried them on the t-shirts were cut in a way that almost looked like mock turtlenecks. I guess the 80s are back. So leaving this here for others in case they think Portland Gear uses the same ecommerce return policies as others. If you don't like your purchase, be prepared to recoup only some of your cost.

Save your money and buy from another brand. Purchased the rain and roses puffy print hoodie, and it…read moredidn't make it a month. All of the print has cracked, and I have worn the hoodie maybe ten times, and washed it inside out one time on cold and gentle. Let air dry just like all of my other puffy print hoodies which I have had for years and this is the only hoodie that the print has cracked on. Threads coming out of the sleeves, overall very poor quality. When I messaged them to see if they would just swap the hoodie out for another, they told me repeatedly that they don't accept any returns on washed or worn clothing. For a brand to not stand behind their products like that, is a one and done buy for me. I have had much smaller companies offer more for much less. 100 dollar hoodie and they offered me 15% back. Keep it, I will take my money to other reliable brands that care about their customer base.

No joke, one day I had a business lunch down the street and was looking for parking and found a spot right outside Flipside. I stopped in and fell even more in love. Kori was awesome and so kind.

I absolutely adore this store and the owners, and cannot wait to return.

Or you just like lookin cool in cool-lookin hats. Get you head over to Pinkham's Millinery. Dayna (designer/owner) hand-makes hats from straw, rabbit fur, Nutria (like beaver), etc. for ladies and gentleman. For 34 years she's worked with all sort of heads on rock stars, actors and PDX'ers. She was commissioned by Nike to design hats for tennis greats Maria Sharapova and Serena Williams. Heads up! Neck, shoulders, eyes, hair, etc.--all considered in custom hat design that fits your character. Each hat (brim & crown) fits well--made well--in Dayna's workshop & boutique. I dropped in and Danya starting checking-out my noggin and showing me materials in various shapes and colors that work with my zany character. I like rabbit fur. Even if you don't need a hat now, it is worth knowing about now! Hat making is fascinating and Danya loves (knows) hat-talk! No selling! Danya said "go home and think about it." What style of hat do I want? You will have a Pinkham hat for a life-time! Guaranteed to fit for as long as you have a head on your shoulders! And Danya is still kicking! And she will re-shape a hat anytime you like--years later! It takes 2 weeks from design to new hat-on-the-PDX-streets! Nobody has a head like you! Nobody should have a hat like you! Heads up! Put a lid on it!

You'll find an array of wool and straw hats for men and women, as well stunning on-of-a-kind fascinators made from feathers and taxidermy birds. The proprietor, Dayna Pinkham, is lovely and was happy to let us try on pieces that struck our fancy, and even recommended a lovely wool felt hat that really flattered my face shape. Sadly, being out of a job meant that I wasn't able to purchase it (this sort of quality doesn't come cheap, but is still much more affordable than milliners in LA) but she wrote down the style, size, and various options so I can phone order a custom one when I'm ready to purchase.

I came across Penman Hats while looking to replace a well-worn much beloved fedora that was unfortunately lost. Intrigued by the idea that all of the hats offered are made by hand, by the owner himself, and the fact that many well known folks wear his creations, I went ahead and ordered a whisky colored beaver felt with an iron colored vintage ribbon. Not long after, I received the package and when I opened it I was as pleased as I could possibly have been. Besides the hat itself being a work of art, every detail of the packaging was a delight. The hat came carefully wrapped in a plastic outer bag to protect it in transit. It had been placed in a very high quality hatbox with a gold embossed logo closed with a with silk cord. Inside the box were tags that could be filled out and kept in the hat in case it was lost (wish I had this for the one I was replacing), an enamel lapel pin that found it's way to my lucky backpack and of course the hat itself. The hat was flawless. It has a 5 point bash, and is carefully stitched all around. The interior is silk lined, and has a leather inner sweatband meticulously hand stitched on. Most importantly, the fit was exactly as measured. I highly recommend following the instructions that the company has online for finding your correct size; they don't use generic sizes like M-L-XL and the hats are all the better for it. If you're looking for a quality hat, made by a master hatter using old-world craftsmanship, you can't go wrong ordering one of these hats.

The buckle is nice just overpriced as I was able to order from Amazon for half the price. Cons: unable to return items. I went in to purchase as my order from a different store was coming in later than expected due to a delay with delivery. However, my item ended up coming despite the delayed delivery message I received. I went back to return the belt buckle I no longer needed only to be told that they don't do refunds. I looked at my receipt and there was nothing on the back or front that would indicate that. The guy did show Me the sign but it is hanging up behind the register area and you cant really see it from the register unless you walk around as it is hanging on a wall that is not directly in front of the register. Seems a little sinister to not have the sign posted directly by the register to ensure a person is knowledgable about store policy. That said, I am not a fan of stores who refuse to accept their items back. Wont be coming back!
