I completely disagree with Aretha B's post above. Yes, the shop is expensive, and yes, there are a…read morelot of tourists there. But, it's on Martha's Vineyard - everything is expensive, and it's full of tourists. So you should expect to find that at Menemsha Blues just like you would anywhere else. It is similar to Black Dog, but not as big, and not as ubiquitous. I also disagree with characterizing it as a "chain." It's a local store that has several physical locations in the area. As far as their products: the quality of everything they sell is excellent. We bought several clothing items from them, and they were worth every penny. My husband seriously considers a trip back just to buy more of the polo and button-up shirts there because he loves them so much (and you can't get most of the items on their website, which is the only slight issue I have). He routinely gets stopped while wearing their items, because people like the small fish logo and it's so unusual, and they want to know where he got it. By all means, go to Menemsha Blues, and the original store in Menemsha is quite charming. If you dislike paying for quality items or buying from a store that has several locations in the area it was founded, I guess you can skip it, but you're doing yourself a disservice.

A little pricey, then again it is a boutique store catering to the Nantucket jet-set. I still love it; on par with Vineyard Vines. All good. Great clothing and options! Wonderful staff as they are mostly kids from high schools and colleges across America working their summer on the island. So at the peak of tourist season, yes, the clientele in the store can be a bit of a bear.

I packed very little for my trip with the idea that I would get a ton of T-shirts while I was there so that I could wear and later wash and give away (that's the secret to traveling) and this shop helped me with that mission. They had a great selection of styles that were fresh and new, and high in quality. Not your outdated ironed-on logos. Located in the middle of their downtown, this was the only shop that didn't hurt my wallet. They had other knick-knacks other than clothing. The lady that runs the store was very nice and fun to talk to and had great tips on how to get around the island. Loved it.

So this year I bought 2 sweatshirts even though the price increased $10 over last year. (Didn't want to pay the shipping fee). When I saw the package I thought there was only 1 sweatshirt. But to my surprise there were 2 sweatshirts, but they were a lot thinner than last year. So, I followed the Return instructions and I was annoyed for the $10 fee. It took 2 weeks for the company to recognize the return which was yesterday. According to customer service, I have to wait another 10 days for the credit to be issued to my credit card! Whhhhaaatttt? For a legacy Cape Cod business, I find their practice to be absolutely horrid! Quality is in the toilet and your'e sitting on my cash for a month. Bye, bye Black Dog!
