Editorial Review for David Lawrence – by Marika McElroy
The Scene
Clothing tags read like the credits from a GQ fashion shoot, with no shortage of Italian labels. This fashion bastion flies in the face of the khakis and flannel popular among Seattle men. Step inside and you might forget--for just a moment--that you're in the land of polar fleece. Instead, polished business guys and anyone else aged 25 to 50 who is flush with enough cash to support an up-to-the-minute style habit browse the racks.
The Goods
David Lawrence outfits trend-conscious men in designer wear for the opera, after-hours VIP room or poolside. Looks include Versace tuxedos, Speedo-style Italian swimming trunks, Dolce & Gabanna sweaters and Donna Karan four-button suits.The store specializes in more accessible (read: relatively less-expensive) styles from runway magnates, including Versace's Classic line, V2 jeans and couture collection.

I really like the casual clothes here. They're hip, have style & offer something different that you won't find at Nordy's or Barcelinos. They have some great brands for polos & smokin' shoes. I have seen some funky sport coats here to wear with jeans & other casual slacks. I can't say that I've heard of too many people buying suits here. The sales staff is really friendly & helpful. They seem to know their stuff. Parking wasn't the easiest but, hey, it's a big city so it is always timing. This store is certainly worth checking out. Bottom line: You can always walk out of here with a renewed sense of style. -Jeff Collins, MyHaberdasher
Pros: The people, style, & selection
Cons: Always parking downtown but you get that everywhere

I’m enthused about writing this review after doing so verbally so often over the past many years; to those who are friends, colleagues, and even people who “pardon me” while walking through downtown Seattle. David Lawrence offers style, identity, and an experience above all others. Depending on the occasion I'm shopping for, though it's typically the non-occasion, I'm able to find pieces that are both unique and impressionable; pieces that always receive attention and compliment. Whether on the hunt for jeans and tees for a casual out and about, button up shirts and sport coats for a late night outing, or suits, dress shirts, and ties to negotiate the next big company merger, you’ll be sure to find something amazing. They offer designer collections that exemplify the genius, culture, and allure from all over the world, such as Italy and London, and include top designer labels from here in the States. Their collections consist of Rock and Republic, United, Ungaro, Moschino, Versace, and Dolce and Gabbana – to name the labels I’m most familiar with. Even though other nearby stores offer some of the same labels, such as R&R and Sevens, you'll find styles only at David Lawrence where the differences will be "awe" worthy. More than just the clothing is the experience in purchasing them. The associates at David Lawrence offer a great experience. First of all, they are knowledgeable in what they are selling. More than how it looks, it’s how it makes you feel. They know the story behind the label. In my experiences, not only are they skilled at putting pieces together, they are honest about what looks good on me; even if that means I don’t buy it. Furthermore I never feel bad for just looking or leaving the fitting room half an hour later empty handed. Ever feel guilty not buying something when shopping for high-end… well, anything? Whether you’re looking for a piece that defines beauty, sophistication, style, or class – David Lawrence should be your next stop.
