Decades came and went, their locations,…read morestore facade, interior layout and merchandise evolved over time, and through it all MDen emerged in its current form as the head honcho gear retailer on Umich campus. In the 1990s Steve and Barry's, MDen, Michigan Book & Supply, and Ulrich's were arguably the four most prevalent retailers selling branded college gear on campus, the latter two being mainly textbook stores, and S&B being the more college-kid-affordable type of spot that occupied part of the current MDen State Street location. Back then Elmo's Printing was still running out of a residential house south of Packard, and Underground Printing was still an idea waiting to be born. Around early 2000s, when S&B went bankrupt, MDen expanded and took over their retail space, as well as some of their market share, introducing over time their own basic and trendy apparel collections and collaborations with other brands (outside of traditional players like Nike, such as more recent Lululemon and Tommy Bahama collabs). Nowadays MDen is the go-to school spirit shop that carries everything from UofM stickers to lawn and Christmas ornaments, college graduation caps and gowns, sports jerseys, wall decor, bumper stickers, bobble heads, and all types of men's and women's apparel and accessories. You can come here for shirts with the word "Michigan" in 20 different languages, t-shirts and sweatshirts for every individual college and major degree program at the university, as well as yoga wear and golf outfits. There's an affordable sale section upstairs as well. A one-stop shop for all things Michigan-related!

Not planning to ever go back to M Den!

I ended up driving to the store but they didn't have the item that I wanted. Still, the store didn't have a bare wall or empty space as it was packed with merch. They also have "outlet"/ clearance/ final sale items in the back of the store. One employee was rude to me - I tried on a jacket but wasn't sure about the fit. She asked me with an attitude - how do you expect it to fit?

Got excellent service and advice when my boyfriend had to get a sleek suit for an all white party…read more When my friend Steve said he got a nice suit here, we decided to check it out. They mostly have suits, pants, and blazers for men, but they do have a small selection of businessy clothes for women. They also have a sale section where items are marked down as far as 60%, which is where David found his white pinstriped suit. Our salesperson was very helpful. He told us that suit rules are made to be broken. If David wanted no cuffs with a pleated pant, that was absolutely fine. He also pinned David's jacket saying men usually wore their sleeves too long and made the suit look a lot better. They also have a comfy couch and fashion magazines in case you are waiting on someone.

It's definitely pricey, which prevents me from shopping for the dudes in my life here often, but the styles and offerings are nice, well-crafted goods that seem worth the price point if you can afford it. They carry a variety of shirts, sweaters, hats, outerwear, sportswear, suits, scarves, etc. They even have a shoe shop across the way with beautiful looking leather loafers and the like. I admittedly haven't had a ton of experience with their service (haven't really had the need) so I can't comment on that, but it's nice to have this option in town if you need a fancy gift for a fashionable fella in your life.
