We think our selection of clothing this season is particularly appealing, and, as always, of the highest quality and craftsmanship. We offer handsome tailored jackets that can easily be enjoyed with a dress shirt and fine necktie; or paired more casually with a sweater and an open collared shirt. Of course, there are also weekend clothes that can be enjoyed every day. As usual, wonderful, yet subtle, color, as well as uncompromising quality, timeless style and exceptional value, are the mark of our collection of balanced, proportioned and comfortable clothing. As a true “mom and pop” business for decades, we pride ourselves on our experienced, knowledgeable and caring service—the proud product of a dedicated and courteous staff. Service like ours is a rarity today, when so many companies have downsized their staff, leaving retail sales, customer service and product knowledge on the “cutting room floor”. We look forward to your visiting us in Charleston, to be with us in our elegant old world shop, which remains a mecca of tasteful and timeless apparel and accessories for those who come here. We are proud to have recently been cited by the New York Times as one of the 50 best shops in America. We look forward to seeing you, but until then, turn the page to discover the best of sophisticated and classic style, and visit us online for our full collection. Welcome to Ben Silver, where classic style has always been, and continues to be, our business. Our finest button down shirts Our pure silk neckwear Our fine linen trousers Tariffs and the Impact on Pricing Pricing our handsome clothing this season is a challenge because of the unpredictability of fluctuating tariffs on our manufacturing costs. Fabrics coming from Great Britain and Italy, as well as finished goods coming from those areas, have been subject to dramatically fluctuating tariff rates, making it challenging to anticipate our cost of goods from month to month. We have sought to maintain our exceptionally fair pricing, and we are hopeful that further adjustments will not be necessary, although we must be prepared for announcements regarding tariff increases. As always, we continue to offer classic style with quality and craftsmanship and timeless value.

20 | www.bensilver.com Our neckwear is made entirely by hand in our English or Italian workrooms. The cutting, sewing and finishing are all done by hand. Each of our ties is cut by an artisan into 3 pieces – the back, the front, and the neck – allowing the tie to conform to the neck.A stitch, called a bar tack, is also applied by hand, and joins the two sides on the back. Our ties have a slip-stitch, whose end, knotted, can be found loose under the bar tacked area.This stitch gives resilience to the tie and assures that it will fall out to return to its original shape when hung in your closet. All our ties are lined to produce the proper weight for the tie, so that they knot perfectly. Our neckties are cut from the finest materials – generally pure English or Italian silk, but occasionally Scottish cashmere, wool or Irish linen.You can feel the luxuriousness of the fabric in the hand of the tie, whether woven or printed. Handsewn, vibrant pure silk

About Seersucker Ever since the original cotton fabric found its name in English from the Hindustani, which in turn was a derivation of the Persian words “shir o shekar”, translated as “milk and sugar” (probably from its resemblance to the smooth texture of milk and bumpy texture of sugar), true seersucker has been distinguished by its wrinkled appearance, caused by a weave that bunches threads together. This weave results in the fabric sitting away from the body, allowing for better air circulation, and dissipation of heat, and the lack of necessity to press the fabric, regardless of humidity. a. Authentic seersucker, puckered and perfect, has always been ideal for summer heat. Ours is woven by the renowned Solbiati of Italy, in a muted powder blue and cream stripe, and then cut in our easy to wear silhouette with a center vent, double pipe and flap lower pockets, and a trim 3" lapel. We offer the sport coat, but it can be paired with trousers, if a suit is preferred. Shown with our classic white Oxford cloth button down shirt, and an authentic British regimental tie from our extensive collection, 4th Battalion York & Lancaster, in new red and white.
