Coal Considered

Our Seattle neighbors at Coal have delivered the goods once again! Men's and women's hats and fedoras aplenty here at Asher Anson. Two of eight styles shown above.

NEW: French Connection Women's

One of our favorite men's brands is now one of our favorite women's brands! We just received our first shipment of three dresses. If you have a party, wedding, or just want to welcome in Spring in style, you'll love these new options! Pictured is the white floral dress with a Zooey jacket and Erin Jane Designs bracelet.

Nation Ltd - "Never Loan Out"

Nation's women's tees and tops make simple stylish. And their incredibly comfortable; hence, their "Never Loan Out" slogan. In addition to the pictured top, we carry two other styles. Pictured with Joe's Jeans boyfriend cut and Erin Jane Designs necklace.

Introducing Kasil Jeans

Kasil uses the top denim from mills in the US, Canada, Japan, and Italy to create their quality fits. Founded by a tailor, Kasil applies time-tested techniques for suit pants previously unused in the denim industry. This includes darting at the waist sides to reinforce the modern style of wearing jeans at the hip and allows for a consistent, comfortable fit. Kasil will be your new go-to jeans!

We stock a bootcut and straight fit for men and a straight fit for women.

Style '09: Spring Fashion Show

Asher Anson is proud to announce our participation in the 7th Annual Spring Fashion Show benefiting Northwest Hope & Healing! This year's show will be held Thursday, April 30th at the Showbox SODO.

Northwest Hope & Healing is a non-profit organization founded by Christine Smith in 2000. Christine created the Foundation while undergoing breast cancer treatment at the Swedish Medical Center in Seattle, WA. Her goal was to help newly diagnosed breast cancer patients in the Puget Sound area.

New Men's Arrivals

French Connection has delivered some great gear to us this Fall. This fitted charcoal jacket is no exception providing a pilot-esque look. Sport some Initium Eyewear Cocktails, Zooey's long sleeve navy crew neck, and Joe's Jeans relaxed Rebel cut and you're set! We've also received some hardy cardigans from French Connection as well as some casual button-downs.

New Women's Shipments

We have 4 new styles from Zooey guaranteed to flatter and garner many compliments! The two above go perfect with Genetic Denim's new twisted seam trouser pant. The outside seam on these curve toward the front of the pant thus elongating and slimming the legs... Double Bonus!!
