This is a shop that can satisfy the needs of the hipster who needs to dress up his retro a little bit, along with young professionals who want some classic flair. Yes, you can wear a tweed jacket over raw-selvedge denim jeans and make it look good. The shop's got a good selection of both new and old, the buying for vintage clothes is done well, and prices are very reasonable. If you wanna class up your act a little bit without breaking the bank, guys - this is a good place to stop. It's a little bit rockabilly, a little bit Mad Men, and a little bit Animal Collective. Enjoy.

Hampden doesn't really have any other mens clothing stores (except thrift shops) so its a great addition to the neighborhood. Think of it like the sister...er..brother store to Double Dutch. Sixteen Tons also carries other man-gifts like wallets, cologne, belts, ties, hats, etc. The clothing can be quite pricey, depending on the item, but I did recently notice a sale bin! It's difficult for me to get my boyfriend to step into an actual store, or buy something vintage ("If its used, should it be cheaper?"), so its best that I come here alone and bring back what he doesn't want. I always end up asking a bunch of questions when I'm here- usually about sizing. When the owner is in the shop, he is warm and super friendly and helpful. There is another employee who always seems annoyed that I have the nerve to ask about an item; I really can't take that type of attitude. Customer service, man! I'm hesitant to dock Sixteen Tons a star because of this one guy's attitude. The owner has true vision and really caters to his clientele. He has helpful tips (more ties coming in next week!), good suggestions (how about a cool vintage belt for the guy who has everything?) and asks the right questions to really try to understand who you're buying for. He should pass these skills on to his employees!

This review is more about some of the new extras they now have available at the shop. I am a big fan of Baxter Men's products and grooming tools. CSC now has almost all of them in stock at the shop so I no longer need to go online to have them sent to me. I've tried moisturizers, beard cream, pomade, custom combs and the fragrance soap bars! SO if you want to not only look good, but also smell and feel good definitely remember to check out that option!

I visit for Preakness each year and boyfriend insists on stopping by to shop. I love the smell of good leather when you walk in. The shoes are impeccable and hand made. The belts are really superior, excellent quality and one of those accessories that are an investment that lasts forever. Service is white-glove, very gracious and professional. We typically spend at least an hour here looking at briefcases, shoes, belts, clothing and chatting with the salesman. It's just part of a lovely afternoon that we truly enjoy and look forward to. This bespoke shop for gentlemen will not disappoint.

Allen Edmonds has been making quality shoes since 1922, and their new retail shop in Harbor East…read moreshowcases quite a lot of them. AE makes classic and Americana-inspired styles that look sharp and last a long time. For business and smart casual wear, you will find something here that suits you. Shoes here are of the sewn, not glued variety. They are wardrobe investments that can be rebuilt several times over their lifetime. They are not inexpensive - $300-400 a pair is a fair ballpark. However, they run good sales several times a year that take $50-100 off those numbers, and the product is a significant step up from average. In addition, there is a limited selection of menswear - jackets, shirts, belts, accessories, leather goods. Some of these are offered in partnership with other well known labels such as Schott and William Wilson. My experience with the store was excellent. I had ordered a pair of boots online, before I realized there was now a retail location in town. They arrived, and appeared to be a previous return that had been accidentally re-shipped - they had obvious flaws. While looking up the return process online, I found the shop on President St. So, I took my boots there for their advice. Anup, the manager of the store, provided some of the best customer service I've had in recent memory. He cheerfully handled the exchange, the return shipping, and placed the replacement order while I browsed the rest of the store. He even took the time to verify my measurements and suggested a slight size adjustment, which worked out perfectly. It was also obvious that he was very enthusiastic about his business and product. So if you're looking for your first pair of genuinely good shoes, I can highly recommend Allen Edmonds. They provide excellent service, quality goods, and a reasonable price.

And yes, the prices are very dear. The service is good, if a bit obtrusive. I prefer to browse through clothes on my own first, without someone following me around and making suggestions. Yeah, I was looking at that jacket, and that shirt and those cords would go nicely with it, but you're being distracting and I'm not looking to be "styled". That being said, I now have a pair of Italian merino flannel trousers that fit like a glove and are phenomenally comfortable and sharp-looking. I would consider Gian Marco an option for investment woolens in classic cuts.

3.5 stars. You know…read morehow you see a dude leaving the Engineer's Club and wonder "where does one buy a burnt umber driving shoe with a royal crest atop it?" ...or perhaps: "I live in Pigtown and don't own a car, where can I buy clothes from the back of that man-lawyer magazine that I steal from my neighbor's mailbox?" The answer: here. The clothes here are top-shelf. There is a tailor on call. The employees are also really helpful. Also, I once spilled coffee on my tie, had a big meeting and this was the only place in Mt Vernon where I could run out and buy another one (60 bills!). So why three stars and a half? Because the size selection here is lacking (though this may be because it is a small shop). And because the prices are just so high. If I could afford to drop 1,200 on a blazer, maybe I could appreciate it more. Until then (read: never), I will continue looking in the window and thinking I'd rather go to Italy than buy a pair of shoes that'd pay my way there.

These suits fit better than any other clothing I've ever owned. And the customer service here is nothing short of exceptional, as well. Sim has gone above and beyond to make sure that each suit and shirt I purchased were exactly as I wanted them and that they arrived on time.

I will be lifelong customer of Brimble & Clark because of Sim and the excellent suits and customer service he delivers time and again.

Either the suits looked flat on me, were of a material that made me sweat instantly, or simply didn't stand out. In comes Brimble and Clark. These are custom pieces of art that will be unlike any other piece in your wardrobe. They accentuate everything you want accentuated better than I have ever experienced, they feel tough but impossibly light, and every little detail just sings in a chorus of perfection. Sim couldn't be more professional and fun to work with throughout the process, and all his wardrobe recommendations that come up in conversation seem to only amplify the master of his craft. Between the garments, Sim's guidance, and all of his extra fashion advice I can't find a better suiting solution than Brimble and Clark. I can't rave enough about my experience at Brimble and Clark, and I know I'll be saving up for more garments in the future.
