Every man should have a made-to-measure navy blazer in their closet. It is the uniform of our lives.
Mizzen + Main
This piece has the crisp, traditional look of a classic dress shirt in a unique, soft-knit fabric with unparalleled stretch—the go-to for travel, first-dates, weekends, weddings, and so much more.
Pantherella
Part of the Pantherella Luxury Collection, the Waddington socks bring together the richness of cashmere and comfort that is three times warmer than socks made from sheep’s wool.
Buckle & Seam
A sleek weekender bag is essential. The Willow has compartments for credit cards, pens, and phone to keep you put together while relaxing away from home.
Truefitt & Hill
One is never fully dressed without a signature scent. Offering more than nine unique fragrances, Truefitt & Hill gives every man the chance to discover his own.
34 Heritage
34 Heritage is the quintessential denim brand for the modern gentleman. Their grey houndstooth is an updated take on a traditional grey trouser.
Alan Paine Knitwear
A cashmere crew neck is as essential as a navy blazer. Sometimes they can be combined for a clean, classic look. Since 1907, UK based Alan Paine Knitwear has been fully fashioned, and every garment is hand finished. Smith’s Men’s Store is the only store to offer Alan Paine in Chicagoland.
Peter Millar
The Essex Quilted Vest is your most versatile option for fall and winter. It is water-resistant and windproof to provide optimal protection for chilly North Shore nights.
Barbour
Smart, stylish and super-insulating, the Quilted Lutz is a classic, winter-ready men’s quilted jacket.
Rhone
The Guru Athletic Pant is a jack-of-all-trades and a master of one, bringing you to a state of complete comfort. This tech material has been life-changing for every active man.
