The best place in all of Seattle is a Men's boutique called Blackbird, which is actually in Ballard. They have stuff that I have never seen anywhere else. Some of their denim includes Acne, Nudie, Paul Smith, Nom De Guerre, etc as well as the other crazy brands that I have never heard of or can't remember. There is also another store in Downtown seattle called Ian, which is really good, and has G-Star, Modern Amusement, and others too. Both shops have been written up in GQ, and Mens Vogue. Not cheap though either.
Blackbird is located at 2208 NW Market St, Seattle, WA and their phone is (206) 706-4555.
Ian has two stores, one is at 1919 2nd Ave # 100, Seattle, WA and their phone is (206) 441-4055. I'm not sure of their other address, but they can tell you at the store.
There is also one other shop called Zebra Club, which is slightly more urban, and has more graphic tees, and that sort of thing. I dunno, I've only been there once. It's only about 2 blocks from Ian though, and it is at 1901 1st Ave, Seattle, WA. Their phone is (206) 448-7452. I would suggest going to Ian, and Zebra Club first since they are close into town. If you like Ian's style more, then I would suggest the trip out to Ballard (Seattle Suburb) to check out Blackbird. If you like Zebra Club more, then the trip out to Ballard is probably not worth it.
Definitely though Blackbird is a world class shop if you like that style. They can tell you how much each brand of jeans will stretch on average, and have tons of knowledge. They are also extremely friendly. When I go and and don't buy anything they never get moody or anything, and they understand that I am poor and can't always drop $150 on a shirt. I would definitely recommend them to anybody.
