Sorry to say it but Fall will be here before you know it! The good news is that Haberdash has the low down on ready to wear fashion for dudes. Think Gar-animals for grown ups. We’ve taken the guess work out of outfitting yourself for Fall and have assembled a collection that is totally comfortable, cohesive and easy to wear. Don’t forget cool - damn cool! Everything we’ve bought is designed to work together pretty much, so there’s very little room for error. As guys we’re always looking for fool proof and simple – aren’t you?

In the meantime, check out a preview of what’s hot (and cool) for Fall…

Plaids and Patterns – look for rich plaids and vibrant tartans and interesting patterns like fair isle (a traditional style of knitting from a remote Scottish island)

Sweaters – warm, chunky, with v-neck and shawl collars in great earthy colors like charcoal, brown, green, navy, black and more

Hunting and Workwear Inspiration – check out our coats and outerwear - originally designed for form and function - they are all about style now.

Authentic Old School Brands – throw back to American Heritage from way back when. Remember Gant, Woolrich, Gitman and Red Wing – they’re retooled but uber-cool in a retro way. They’re back baby!

That said we’re stocked and ready when you are. So stop by and let us help you pull your fall look together. But for now, chill out – relax and enjoy the weekend.

Like filing your taxes, shopping for a guy’s “monkey suit” has got a bad rap. But, we’re swooping in to tell it like it is – man style. So, here’s the low down on procuring a man’s signature fashion item - the suit.

Shopping for a suit doesn’t have to be a bad experience – really! Shopping at a smaller specialty store may provide you a higher level of service and an appropriately edited collection of the best of the best.

You don’t have to spend an arm and leg – seriously! The quality, selection and styling is streamlined and has come down in price.

Tailored to perfection – you can just buy a great suit off the rack, but make sure the alterations are all about you. A skilled tailor can make all the difference. A well-tailored suit should fit like it was created exclusively for you.

Don’t wear your dad’s old suit. Get with the times. Suiting today is more modern with contemporary, slimmed down lines. Color-wise understated stripes, plaids, solids, rich traditional shades and beautiful shades of tan and grey for spring are all acceptable. Suits can be dressed up or dressed down – customizable based on occasion.

The best news, however, is that Haberdash offers all the above and is now offering a sweet deal on suits - 30% off on all suits all the time.

Can’t do any better than that - Period!

Big week guys – big games, lots of hangin’ – all good. Here’s our official Haberdash round-up featuring our recommendations on all things hoop related.
