Sam’s Clothing Store

I’m going to be honest.
I am someone who struggles with making good fashion choices.
If you know me you know that I am a big fan of grey sneakers and sweatpants.
One of the deciding factors of choosing to move to Ann Arbor was that fact that I could really indulge my haphazard wardrobe choices freely with little consequences.
That being said, When I was walking down Liberty and saw a store with racks of woolrich flannels and smartwool socks I was excited, to say the least.
If you’re like me and sometimes «showing up to life» can be difficult and you have a wardrobe that reflects that… Sam’s is the place for you.
As mentioned, they have a great array of flannels, socks, plain tee’s and sweatshirts, beanies, converse and even some small knives (always a good thing). Sam’s also has jeans too but if you’re like me and want to spring for something a grade above Grand Rapids status in that department, move along.
Best of all, the people who work here are great. It’s so rare that others encourage my fashion choices and every time I purchase something here I sense a palpable envy from the employees that it is I that now own two Carhartt beanies and not them. I love that.
If you stand for what I stand for and believe in sweatpants and very reliable flannels you should come here.

Great service. I got a beautiful pocket knife from there, they have a very large selection of them. All kinds of shoes, especially converse (lots of colors), socks, jeans, hats, shirts, the whole lot. I grew up in Ann Arbor and Sam’s has always been the place to go for the basics.

this is a store which grew with me as a person– I remember coming here as a college student, and stocked up on things like sweatshirts and woolen socks when my friends and I were in the «grunge» fashion stage. A few years after when I landed jobs after school, I begin to buy more trendy things– converse sneakers and Nalgene bottles. Yesterday I stopped by to look for a plain long sleeve shirt for my SO; I picked out an old favorite — Hane’s beefy tee, a substantial weight staple made with 99% pre-​shrunk cotton in a beautiful heathered gray– it fitted like a charm on him. My recommendation is go for the simple but nicely made things and the store will serve you well.

Sam’s. Great store, great selection, great staff who are always helpful. An Ann Arbor landmark.

This place is awesome. Very friendly staff and they have the biggest variety of colors for Converse sneakers out of anyone in the area.

Sam’s is a funky old fashioned jeans store. The clerks are helpful and the old floor boards creak. It’s a nice place to get jeans without loud music.

I grew up in Ann Arbor, and when I started earning my own money, I learned pretty quickly that Sam’s was the place to go for basics. Great selection and prices on Levi’s, Converse All-​Stars, Flannel and Button down shirts, bandannas, socks… all the basics. The staff has always been real friendly over 30 years I’ve been visiting. Whenever I visit Ann Arbor now, I stop by Sam’s and pick something up, even if just a bandanna.

Great selections of jeans and good prices. Always has a few sales items (eg short sleeved shirts) out front too.

Anytime I’m around downtown Ann Arbor, I inevitably end up stopping off at Sam’s. You can find some pretty killer flannels, downright cheap American Apparel stuff (hoodies, shirts, jackets), awesome Wigwam socks, and inexpensive yet reliable basic accessories (gloves, pocket knives, hats, scarves, etc). Really warm sweaters, too. The staff is incredibly friendly. Definitely worth checking out if you’ve never been there before.

When you know what blue jeans work for you, you stick with it. Fortunately for me, Sam’s Clothing Store carries Levi’s 527 bootcut jeans for fraction of the cost of Urban Outfitters and Macy’s.
Sam’s also carries a large selection of other hipster wear and Converse sneakers.
But, really, this is the only place I need for a great pair of jeans.

I love Sam’s! It’s got a great vibe, sells mens and women’s clothing, socks, shoes & sandles, hats, gloves. Perfect for wardrobe basics and the occasional hipster accessory. Very reasonable for Ann Arbor and cute as a button.

I love Sam’s! They do basics, and they do them well. The have men’s and women’s tshirts, jeans, and sneakers, basically. They have American Apparel shirts for less than at American Apparel, they’ve got Chuck Taylors in every color of the rainbow, and they have lots of jeans, though I’ve never purchased any. Last time we were in, my friend found some Chucks way on sale… there were 2 pairs left and one happened to be her size. Score! I myself have purchased bright green Converse in this very store. Extremely reasonable prices, great selection of basics, and basically a hipster’s paradise. Or someone who just wants a freaking tshirt, forcryinoutloud.

Great place with a very straight-​forward but high quality selection of clothing. I bought a pair of Levi 511’s (skinny jeans for all you hipsters) for ²⁄₃ of what Urban Outfitters charges, and also got an awesome Columbia rain coat off their half-​off rack. Good deals, nice customer service, and I’m glad to be supporting a small, local business.

Sam’s is one of my personal favorite Ann Arbor stores. I buy jeans, coats, shirts, gloves, you name it, at Sam’s. They have a pretty good selection for the easy-​wheelin Ann Arborite. Their prices even compete with online vendors so you don’t feel like you have to decide between your money and your support of local stores. The staff is pretty nice, sometimes a bit distracted, but always ready to help.

I used to shop at Sam’s a lot. The staff were always really nice and funny. Duncan, the owner, is a lot of fun and would order stuff in a special size if I needed it. Don’t live there anymore but I always pop in at least once when I’m in town.

Sam’s is a great spot where you will find the best prices on Converse sneaks in town, hands down. They also have the little baby Converse shoes that are a great non-​registry gift for that expecting couple.
It’s deceptive to say that this place isn’t for Miss Fashion Magazine. Because I love me some fashion, but I can still find hidden gems in this place — like a Levi’s skinny for women and the black on white All Stars.
They also carry a few of American Apparel’s most very basic styles that the retail location doesn’t even carry any more at great prices. You’ll also be able to grab basics like bandanas, belts, sun hats. They have a collection of old dude fedoras here that look pretty stylin’ on the right heads.
Look in the back for a gigantic pair of Levi’s tacked to the wall. You can fit five people in it! They also have tons of unobtrusive dressing rooms.

If you are looking for the latest Parisian style clothing, then don’t bother going to Sam’s clothing. However, if you are looking for some down to earth grungy style clothing, then this is the place. They carry a pretty good selection of men’s and women’s Converse shoes, Levi’s jeans, solid colored t-​shirts, and messenger bags. They are also well stocked in outdoor clothings. It’s not exactly my style of clothing, but I liked the sales that they have. They have some pretty good sales on Crumpler messenger and camera bags and 50% off hiking shoes and sandals. The prices on the regular sale items are reasonable. Again, their clothes are not of the latest fashion, but good selection for basic style and essentials clothing items.
