Support your local independent menswear shops. These are the stores that are meaningful to our communities and in our lives. These are the places we all want to continue to exist. Please get out and visit these places and share the list with likeminded friends. If there’s a shop you want to nominate, please do so in the comments below.
Worth noting that there is a Locker Room location in Auburn, AL as well as Montgomery. Would also like to nominate Griff Goods in Opelika, AL as a shop that carries a small and interesting collection of quality items! Happy to see this list of good shops
Regret to inform you that Ball and Buck's brick and mortar location closed. However, they still exist online, and I believe have done the pop-up thing recently.
Great list. I wanted to mention that there is a great little men’s shop called Red River Mercantile that I might suggest you check out the next time you’re in Santa Fe New Mexico. I’m not affiliated with them in anyway, just think it’s a cool place that you might like. Thanks!
Can’t argue with most of your list but a big miss is Kai D in Brooklyn. An independent menswear designer whose store is a little gem. Outdoes RRL and makes in Brooklyn! Please check him out next time you’re in Brooklyn.
Great list, and a wonderful reminder of lots of places that are still around that I haven't thought of or checked on in years and years.
For anyone interested in Portland, OR stores, I'll add that its always worth a visit to Portland Outdoor Store, the 102-year-old dealer in various westernwear, saddle supplies, Barbour products and other cool stuff, still in Downtown Portland despite all the negative press you hear these days.
Great list! Standard & Strange in Santa Fe would be a great addition. And Billy Reid (at least the Florence, AL-based “flagship”) could be included or is that considered a “brand store”?
Really appreciate this list, especially as someone that always seeks out menswear shops when I visit a city. +1 to Standard and Strange (Santa Fe) // Canoe Club (Boulder) // Old North (Asheville) and please consider Friend (New Orleans) and Tanner Goods (Portland).
Sharing! Great list! Check out Poet and/the Bench in Mill Valley for men’s jewelry, Jeffrey Levin is co-founder and has a collection and custom workshop. They also carry a great selection of gear—culinary and utility knives, urban apparel, leather goods and vintage bar ware. www.poetandthebench.com

Thanks for this outstanding list! I also love The Met in Sarasota, FL https://themetsarasota.com/.
Check out, Morgan Mercantile Fort Worth, TX also Squire Shoppe
Surprised by no H. Stockton
Juniors in Philly is another classic menswear store to add to the list. Majority of items are made in USA too
Michael, I’ve known your appreciation of Harrison’s and what Scott does there. Nice to see the addition of Caliber and Club Duquette.
Love this list, thank you for comprising it, Michael. I’d like to throw in a few of my favorite shops in San Francisco Bay Area:
1. Reliquary (https://reliquarysf.com)
2. MAC (https://www.macmodernappealingclothing.com)
3. Slash Denim in Berkeley (https://slashdenim.tumblr.com)

Great list - would love to see Standard and Strange on here (either Oakland or Santa Fe).

Today Clothing in Ann Arbor, MI definitely deserves a spot on this list!
