I think the americans will love this name - stores instead of shops.
-not as good as clothingstores but still worth a bit I think.
Have you just regged it ? If so, I'm surprised it was still avilable. Clothes is a great keyword, despite the phrase looking a little 'crowded' with S's, and looking at sedo, 'stores' with strong keywords get alot of offers ie. petstores.
Perhaps its worth asking what the americans make of it at 'the other place'.. that's if the site's working (it seems to be down more often than not !) - some of the profiles on there are more decorated than Vietnam Vets - Bizzare to say the least !
In my somewhat limited experience I think this is a good name with wide commercial appeal. My criticism, if any, would be it may be a little too broad and not specific enough (could you have subdomains ?) - but, overall it's a nice name.
Cheers,
Steve.
