Man, do I hate shopping for clothes. I think this all stems from my long and fraught history with The Lehigh Valley Mall. When I was a youngster Paul K., I would spend what felt like eons at that damn mall, pretending I wasn't with my mom, shopping in stores that sold dumb clothes in sizes that never fit me, and wanting to be almost anywhere else (even the Whitehall Mall). After college, I dabbled in online shopping, which always felt to me a little like ordering GrubHub. The pictures look amazing, but then the stuff shows up at your door and you're often disappointed. Sure, I no longer had to go to the mall (any mall!) and I found clothing brands I liked, but the fit was usually off and, also like GrubHub, who is really going to send back an order you don't like? So when assembly88 launched during the early Downtown Allentown revitalization it was like it opened for me. Santo, the owner, had not only curated a varied and extensive selection of really cool clothing, he had placed it all in a space that was everything The Lehigh Valley Mall is not: welcoming, organized, and low-pressure. During the many years I've been shopping here, I've discovered brands like United by Blue, Gitman Bros., and Vuori. Their sales are frequent. The inventory is always fresh. And when Santo isn't there, his staff knows their stuff. And if all that sounds like I love shopping shop for clothes now, well, I'll admit that that's partly true. Yes, I love shopping for clothes now, but only at assembly88.

Santo consistently brings in the best selection of goods out there. The store lay out is great and the service is second to none. If you want high quality items shop Assembly 88.

Assembly 88 is the best! Santo is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. He carries all of the best brands and the store is laid out very well. Could not recommend this store more!

I visited this shop today on the recommendation of a friend and was so impressed! They have curated a beautiful collection of quality casual menswear from brands like Patagonia and Vuori - it was nice to shop for these brands in person, rather than online, and support a local business in the process! They also have a great selection of shoes. The staff is incredibly friendly and they even gave me gift boxes. We will definitely be back. Check them out and #ShopLocal this year!

Ordered online. Assembly88 shipped them right away and they were responsive and in emails. Looked all over for this specific color and these guys had them!

Absolutely the best place to shop. The owner Santo is the best! He will make sure to take care of you and get you what you need. I cannot recommend Assembly 88 enough, you need to go here.

Exceptional customer support for an online order. They were accommodating in every way, went above and beyond to have the item shipped to me in time for Christmas (even though I messed up the shipping and the item was returned to them) and we’re kind during the entire interaction. Can’t recommend this store enough.

Had a great experience shopping at assembly88. They take pride in offering the most popular and ethical brands to their clients at fair prices. When I visited, Santo worked with me to pick out some articles that fit my style and budget. I will certainly be back soon.

Santo was very helpful and answered all my questions about the return policy. Since I am not local, I needed to have my rain jacket shipped. He did so quickly and I have had a great experience!
