"When is a coat a jacket and a jacket a coat?" President Fillmore meets fashion.


It's been a bright, sunny afternoon here in Portland, spent reading things about clothing company/designers Millard Fillmore. Their coats are modern with vintage inspired fits and flares. A portrait of America's 13th president, Millard Fillmore, decorates the clothing designers' tag, as well as the president's birth year, 1800. President Fillmore was raised on the frontier, braved the elements and once tramped through one hundred miles of forest; we're not suggesting you do the same in Millard Fillmore's amazing coats and jackets, but don't be surprised if you want to! Lush wool pea coats and metropolitan-chic trench coats that remind us of Audrey Hepburn are Millard Fillmore staples we have here in the store, as well as beautiful, cozy dusters. President Fillmore once said, "... People here know nothing of comfort in cold weather," and it is in the coats and jackets of Millard Fillmore that we find that Millard Fillmore knows quite a bit about keeping warm and stylish even when it's cold!




Fillmore is an active sponsor of Music Saves Lives, a conduit between life saving organizations and the entertainment industry. A portion of the proceeds from the purchase of their garments will fo to Fillmore's continued support of this life saving organization.
