Brooklyn Industries

Great location and amazing staff working there. Theresa was super helpful in finding what I needed and brought some good energy to the store along with her counter part. Definitely a place to stop for guys gear when in town since this is the only west coast location for the brand. Shirts all seem like good quality builds but only time will tell. Women’s stuff looked cool as well but the service is what makes it. Highly recommended.

This location has continued to offer amazing products and services. I have faithfully carried a brooklyn industries bag, I have a few, for the last 6 years. My favorite bag made it all six, moving to NYC and back. The bags are durable as hell, and always beautiful, but I had worn this bag out hard. Liana, at this location was so helpful in helping me send it off to be repaired, (THEY HAVE A LIFETIME GUARANTEE), and she helped my find an in between bag. I didn’t like it after a week and she helped me upgrade to a new one. And my bag is now being sent back to me, after being repaired after just 3 weeks. I love the staff especially Liana, and I love their clothes and especially their bags.
Thanks guys!

I’m not a trendy girl, and I expected the store to be a bit over my head, but I found the clothes here very accessible. Well designed and cut clothing, pretty good quality, and after christmas, everything was 25% off. I purchased a large-​snap asymmetrical sweatshirt that fit well and was very cozy. It was as if it was designed for me — sweatshirt comfortable, cool design elements and just a little bit of style. The staff were also very helpful and complimentary. Well worth a visit.

Clothing here generally fit well and looks cute. Some things don’t work for me at all and other things I love. One of my favorite cardigans is from here. I’ve also purchased a purse, an umbrella, and a winter jacket. Haven’t had a chance to use the jacket as I bought it in May for a great end-​of-​season sale price.
The fitting rooms are spacey and clean. It’s nice that they have a security tag system and so they don’t have to intensely patrol rooms. When you want to try something on you can basically walk back there and do so.
Employees are generally friendly. The store isn’t usually crowded, which is also nice.
Prices can be kind of high. As much as I would like to think I’d walk in somewhere and spend $ 40 on a t-​shirt, in reality it would have to be a really freaking awesome shirt. Not likely. Hit up the clearance here for more moderate prices. Regardless of if you’re a big spender or a bargain shopper, Brooklyn Industries is worth exploring.

Oh man I love this store. I had shopped there in Philly a couple of years ago, but I didn’t know that one existed in PDX until we went to a restaurant nearby. Although we were totally full from our meal, I insisted that we go in so I could look around.
The sales girl was really nice and kept taking all the stuff I was accruing in my hands to try on, to the dressing room. The sales racks had a ton of great stuff in them, but I have a problem with buying long sleeve shirts when I live in AZ. If I lived anywhere that had a hint of winter, I would have cleared out the sales racks. I did end up getting a super cute sleeveless collared shirt. The prices are a little steep, so I should probably only go in if I’m feeling rich.

When I go back to the states I basically do ALL the shopping for me and my husband for the next year because clothes prices in Australia are insane. Seriously: I get off the plane at LAX with an empty American Tourister suitcase the size of terminal 3 and then I. go. to. town.
Shopping for my husband is lame though. He’s jn another country and shopping for him involves me taking photos with my phone and posting them to facebook chat while he sits on the couch back and rejects everything. (First world problems, amirite?) This is because men’s clothes pretty much suck: Boringly uniform, bland, or silly.
Imagine my joy when I walked into Brooklyn Industries and saw a decent selection of well made and attractive clothes for dudes! On sale! I got two beautiful wool sweaters for picky hubster that he wore throughout July and August (i.e, winter). The best part was that the sales guy had the same build as my husband and volunteered to model the sweaters for me! This was really helpful, as we obviously can’t return items once we return home. Great service, selection, and price makes this a firm favourite.

Brooklyn, Brooklyn. BROOKLYN IS IN DA HOUSE! A clothing store from Brooklyn, about Brooklyn and most all are in Manhattan or Brooklyn, NY. One happens to be in Chicago and one here in the land of Port. Being a product of Brooklyn myself, how could I go wrong entering a place like this?
BKI are known for their messenger bags, but they have plenty of cool clothing, shirts, sweaters, sweat shirts, coats and most everything else for men and women. I really liked shirts with the Periodic Table of Brooklyn neighborhoods and one with No Sleep Til Brooklyn (with the music tabs) BEASTIE BOYS!!! I also liked the zip up sweatshirts with Brooklyn emblazoned over the fronts. I wasn’t crazy about the colored pants for guys (a wee bit too hipster for my liking) The prices were a bit up there as well. $ 34 for a t-​shirt is steep. But they do have a buy one get one 50% off sale going on and on their website as well. I even thought it was cool that one of the women that worked there was born in Brooklyn as well. We had a nice chat.
Nice layout, sweet clothes, stuff I’d actually wear. Bonus!
Go take a visit to the Alphabet and check out some cool threads. Enjoy.

One of the nice things about being married is the number of no-​huddle plays you accrue. We look for efficiency. We look for success.
Without saying a word, I go to the men’s side. My wife goes to the women’s side.
Brooklyn Industries definitely has its own, unpolished look. An architectural feel to the t-​shirt prints and commuter bag construction, that collectively, gives it an independent edge separate from what you’d find in a department store at the mall. It’s city. It’s industrial. It’s a good fit for Portland.
My wife and I meet up at the opposite end of the store. I hold up a t-​shirt with a print of Lego blocks forming «PDX» on the front. My wife holds up the exact same t-​shirt, sized for our one-​year old.
Touchdown.

Stylish clothes that I can actually fit in to?
OH HELL YES!
No, I can’t fit in to everything here, but what does suit my odd-​shaped frame fits me quite well. It’s a style normally reserved for underfed junkie-​sized hip kids (a size I decidedly am not), but yay, Don gets to wear it too. I’ve scored two pretty rad plaid shirts here and am scoping a few more items on the shelves. I almost walked out with a sweet jacket today but thought twice. Now I regret not snagging it.
That’s okay, I’m sure I’ll be back. Stylin’ clothing at decent prices in a variety of sizes, most all with a very nice cut. Dig it.

It’s like I made a trip to NY without actually going.

I love this store and stop by every time I am in NW. The reason I give it 3 stars is not because of the great customer service, or the super cute clothes that I have purchased several times, but the way they are manufactured… the buttons never stay on! I bought a super cute jacket on sale (so you cannot return or exchange) and the cute buttons have already come off. I made a vow to myself I will not shop there any more because its almost a waste of my money. This is the second jacket I have had from this store and same thing has happened twice. I need my clothes to last more than 1 wear, sorry Brooklyn.

Brooklyn Industries has cute, basic clothes with interesting details; however, everything seems a little overpriced. It’s worth stopping in for a look if you’re cool with spending $ 34 on a t-​shirt.

I love Brooklyn Industries. I love their dresses and their skirts and most especially their tights (even though I hate tights because they make me feel like I’m 6 again BUT they’re so cute).
When they first opened I was hesitant, didn’t really feel the staff or the shop but now I know better. They’re amazing (selection, staff, store). And I love them. And I’m wearing a skirt by them RIGHT NOW.
To other reviewers A) I’m super excited to hear that they might be getting a larger selection if Portland does well and B) I’m not sure what Patricia Fs experience was, however I’ve had to return something from them and they took it without a hitch. Store credit, of course, but had no issues.

Maybe ’cause I used to live in NYC so I don’t feel like this is anything special. They only carry the basic stuff from their stock. I know they have a huge collection of accessories from leather gloves ($ 50! CHEAP!) to scarfs to jackets (spring jacket for $ 150, CHEAP!!!), but not available to Portlanders. The girl who works there told me the owners back in Brooklyn are still testing out the Portland location. I guess if this location do well they will carry more products. I will give that fourth star when that day comes. I guess they opened the Portland location ’cause it feels like Williamsburg here. Just without the diversity and the orthodox jews.
Maybe its fate, I used to live in NYC where the local Brooklyn Ind. was only two blocks away. Now I live two blocks away from this one.

My favorite thing about this store are their graphic t’s. They are extremely soft and fit perfectly. I was a little surprised that I like the place as much as I did, like Lily S said, I really expected it to be more Brooklyn-​esque-​rough around the edges, sporty, baggy clothing. The staff was great, the clothes are extremely wearable. I’m a fan.

I don’t live in NYC.
I like clothes that fit.
So when I wandered into this store in NW PORTLAND, I kind of expected the clothing to a) not be my style, and b) not fit.
I was wrong.
I tried on so many different things, and finally walked out w/​a very nice dress — that fit — no adjustments necessary! And the staff was pleasant — I didn’t want to take out anyone’s kneecaps w/​a tire iron!
And yes, I’m wearing the dress RIGHT NOW.
I’m totally going back.

like many others, Brookly Industries is my must-​stop-​shop when I am in NYC. love love love to shop there for myself and my beau. I think this is a positive addition to NW23rd right as I was just growing a little weary they found a reason to pull me back in.

While in NYC last summer, a dress caught my eye in a store window. The store was a cute little shop called Brooklyn Industries. I went in and browsed, but decided that most of the stuff was too pricey for what it was (how much is a Tshirt really worth?). While in Portland my boyfriend, who actually has a couple Brooklyn Industries shirts, wanted to stop by this new location. The interior is very «industrial»: concrete and spare simplicity. The employees were really friendly, like most people in PDX. Again, I saw stuff that was sorta cute, but too expensive. Also, I think my taste is a little more conservative than who they’re aiming for. But since the store just opened, alot of the merchandise was already «out of season» and thus on sale, so the BF scored a super cute lambswool-​like lined hoodie for about $ 30 (marked down from probably about $ 80 — $ 90). I’d say this would be a good place to shop the sale racks. The chatty and helpful guy who rang us up told us that the store will host installations from local artists. Also, supposedly coming soon: a Seattle location, most likely on the Hill.
The neighborhood (along 23^rd) has alot of great shopping and dining, but parking can be a bitch.

cool store, fun clothing and atmosphere.

I’ve been shopping at Brooklyn Industries for years, originally discovering them while visiting a friend in New York. I was surprised on my last NYC visit when the manager told me that they’d be opening a store in Portland. How random (their only other store outside of New York is in Chicago), but how lucky for us!
The new store is very clean and organized. The employees are incredibly friendly and hip. What a nice layout and it’s great to be able to actually try on clothes rather than cross your fingers that the online purchase fits well.
The style is urban trendy and adds a refreshingly new variety for Portlanders. They’re known for their bags and artistic t-​shirts, often with a NYC-​centric design. Sign up on their mailing list to get some really good coupons every once in awhile.
I’m glad you’re here, Brooklyn Industries. You’re my favorite store!
