Menswear store Milworks opens second U.S. store in 'high drama' downtown Portland space
Clothing store Milworks will open its second U.S. store in the 11W tower in Portland's West End, aiming to welcome customers in June or July.
Milworks does a lot of business online. For a store with only one brick-and-mortar in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, it has a significant social media presence, logging nearly 46,000 Instagram followers of its "rugged yet refined men's goods." Menswear publication MR Magazine named Milworks, run by married couple Heather and Tim Ellis and brothers Jesse and Jason Meyer, a merchant of the year in 2023. MR said it represented "the style that made Milwaukee famous."
The first store open in Milwaukee's 3rd Ward neighborhood, and Jason Meyer told the Milwaukee Business Journal the name was meant to evoke Milwaukee's blue-collar heritage.
