How did a lawyer start the best bespoke tailoring shop on the West Coast?

Joe Mueller grew up in Oregon, in a family where objects of fine art and craftsmanship, and the people who make them, are revered. After a career as a commercial litigation attorney, both in New York City and back in Portland, Joe made a change. While taking tailoring classes in 2014, Joe met a talented tailor and got to work designing and making the highest quality suits and shirts in Portland. After finding a perfect space for their bespoke tailoring operation---the 125-year-old Hamilton Building downtown Portland---the idea for Wildwood & Company was born. A retail space and website that complement the custom clothing made by Wildwood; fine objects and apparel, made the best way they can be made. Wildwood & Company has now grown to a team of seven designers, tailors, and seamstresses, while representing more than 25 other skilled artists and craftspeople from Portland and beyond.
