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. As a true “mom and pop” business for 40 years (yes, that’s us below), 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. Charleston continues to be ranked #1 to visit by Travel + Leisure Magazine.
