Classic style has always been our business Spring is around the corner! While in later months our larger collection will be offered to you, this “preview” of spring merchandise invites you to prepare for the season ahead. Because sport coats, in particular, are just now being cut from the fine fabrics we offer, this is a perfect time to place your order and assure that your jacket is among the first to be finished! We think our selection of clothing this season is particularly appealing, and, as always, of the highest quality and craftsmanship. Our handsome tailored jackets 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, is the mark of our collection of balanced, proportioned and comfortable clothing. 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 you 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 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. 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. We are delighted to introduce our new monthly Style & Story journal – colorful writing about classic style, through personal history and informative anecdotes. Photographs will embellish each journal. Style & Story will come to you as an email, and the collection, as it grows, will be in the Classic Style section of our website as well, so you can continue to enjoy it. Each email will feature a preview of each entry, but you can read it in its entirety on our website. On the cover: A selection of some of our fine sport coats this season, each impeccably cut and sewn in our Authentic American style.

Bob loved wearing our authentic Indian Madras shirt in navy, claret, gold and green. Madras is a lightweight cotton fabric, completely handwoven, using yarns dyed with vegetable colorings.

We have constructed these shirts in our classic signature collar button down shirt, with all the bells and whistles of our dress shirts, and a long sleeve, easy to roll up at leisure.
