I find Nordstoms in Portland to have, as always, an incredible selection of mens shoes and suits. The dress casual attire is not my style or need so I can not comment on that- at least they don't offer what I need.
For the very casual attire, Brass Rail?, mediorce is the theme. While they do have some great brands (BC Ethic/Lucky/Etc) they just don't have the selection.
The furthur out of downtown the worse this department gets. Service is always great, but just not a big department or what I need.
When I have a suit to buy or dress/dress casual shoes- Nordstrom is where I go first and usually last.
Pros: Men's suits, shoes, customer service
Cons: dress casual, casual selection
