We think this selection of clothing is appropriate for this moment in time. There are weekend clothes that can be enjoyed every day. We offer handsome sport coats that can be enjoyed with a tailored shirt and fine necktie; or paired more casually with a sweater and an open collared shirt. 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; all brought to you by our experienced, knowledgeable and caring staff. We are still seeing that some of Europe’s finest mills continue to have supply chain issues, along with reduced working staff and hours, and are late in production, so that it is still not unusual for delays in receiving fabric for cutting. We have learned to be patient because we can’t accept reduced quality and craftsmanship by choosing to work with lesser facilities. We hope you will be patient at our side. If winter encourages you to look to warmer locations, we hope you will visit us in Charleston (ranked #1 to visit by Travel & Leisure magazine). We look forward to your visit to our handsome shop, which remains a mecca of tasteful and timeless apparel and accessories.
