Before martinpatrick3 opened its doors in 2008, men's shopping in the Twin Cities was relegated to department stores and custom suiting shops. The store that helped paved the way for a current renaissance in local menswear has only gotten better with age. After debuting primarily as a men's gift and accessories shop in a small Warehouse District storefront, it swiftly moved into a larger space and expanded to include an apothecary, footwear and men's clothing from names like Jack Spade, Fred Perry and Mackinaw, offering an updated twist on dapper, old-school menswear. 212 3rd Av.
