Butch Blum

I recently happened upon this store and it was nothing like I expected. The clientele are great, always helpful and personal. The clothing is beautiful and surprisingly affordable. This is definitely my new favorite place to shop. more

This boutique has the best selection of men's suits. I recently shopped here with my husband to find him a few new suits for work and was blown away by their selection. more

Butch Blum has a reputation of having great men's wear, and I wasn't disappointed. The moment I walked in, I was greeted by really friendly (and well dressed!) sales associates who pointed me in the right direction. The quality of the clothing was undeniable. Definitely the best luxury menswear store in Seattle. Not only that, but the sales associates helped me choose from the wide selection. They weren't too pushy, and made sure that I was happy with my choices. I'm definitely going to be back for all of my suit needs. Thanks Butch Blum! more

I am a recent college graduate who just moved to Seattle. I was downtown looking for gifts when I stumbled upon Butch Blum. I went inside and was greeted by friendly sales associates. I knew I was on a budget and told them so. They found me some adorable designer tops for under $100 and a gorgeous evening handbag as a gift for my mom. Not only is the clothing quality material but the range of designer wear they have in the store is unbelievable for a boutique. They also have great menswear for all price points. And shoes too! I will definitely be returning. more

This store has always seemed way our of my price range but I stopped in was was surprised to see they are now carrying more affordable pieces along with their high priced designer clothing. more

I stopped in at Butch Blum for the first time in awhile. I was pleasantly surprised at the wide selection of designer clothes in a lot of different sizes. I picked up a couple of pieces from Cividini, Cheap and Chic and Alberta Ferreti. The service was excellent as well! more

I stopped into Butch Blum one afternoon after lunching with a friend, not expecting to purchase anything. From the moment I first stepped into the store, I was completely blown away by their classic but trendy aesthetic. Butch Blum is one of the few retailers in Seattle which carries Cividini and Delman, my favories shoe brand! A friendly, energetic saleswomen suggested a lovely skirt that would coordinate perfectly with the boots I had picked out, and it fit me perfectly!! Needless to say, I purchased both the shoes and the skirt. I left a very happy customer, and will definitely be returning! more

I had one of the worst experiences ever here. Ordering ties for my wedding, and they forgot to place the order! Then the supplier said they didn't have what I originally wanted. I find the staff here very-standoffish and the range of clothing average. Avoid at all cost. more

As any self-respecting local style hound will tell you, when it comes to unique & high-quality men's apparel, Seattle can be a very disappointing place to shop. This is not to say that Nordstrom, Brooks Brothers and similar mass-market retailers don't offer a wide selection of well-regarded brands. It's probably just a reflection of our laid-back local culture - where khakis, loafers and a button-down shirt can take you from the office to dinner to a night on the town without a second look. But if you're accustomed to the choices offered on 5th Avenue in Manhattan, or Union Square in San Francisco, you're likely to be disappointed by pretty much everything the mainstream retailers have to offer. So if you take pleasure in fine materials, thoughtful styling and careful craftsmanship - in anything from t-shirts to suits - there's a short list of local retailers you need to know about, and Butch Blum should be at the top of that list. Instead of buying every item from every major brand, the buyers at Butch Blum act like style curators, hand-picking the best assortment of items from a select group of ateliers. They also back up their selection with amazing service - from honest advice on the sales floor to excellent tailoring and personalized follw-ups when hard-to-find items come in. I don't shop often, but when I do I typically have a specific item in mind, and more often than not Butch Blum is the only place in town that has it. I learned this lesson the hard way when I bought my last suit. I needed a dark suit for an evening event, but I wanted a 3-button jacket (rather than the usual American-style 2-button), with no center vent, in a charcoal wool that would travel well and be wearable across several seasons. I visited every major men's retailer in town, and none of them - except Butch Blum - even knew what I was talking about, much less had the right item available. Not only did Butch Blum know what I wanted, they had it in stock - a remarkable feat for a store that caries a fraction of the inventory of any of the major retailers. Not only that - their on-site tailoring service made the final adjustments in time for me to fly out later that week. Don't take my word for it - just walk in and see for yourself (and get your name on the mailing list - they have regular sales that can bring their sometimes-lofty prices into a more reasoable range). more
