New Guy Looking for a Haberdasher . . .

[mingoslim]

Hi . . .
I am new to the list and have been following some of the discussion for the last week or so . . .

So I am wondering if you all have any suggestions for good suppliers, stores or haberdashers in Southern Ohio or Northern Kentucky . . . I am about an hour from Cincinnati or Dayton Ohio . . . and an hour and a half from Columbus, or Northern Kentucky . . .

I also travel from time to time throughout the US and the UK, so am always interested in tips on places to visit elsewhere . . .

Saks Fifth Avenue...

has a few stores in Ohio; start with them. they will always have good tailors. selection at one of their satellite stores may be limited in some cases, but you can always order from the main nyc store.

Welcome! Sounds like you're in the Chillicothe area. I can't help you yet as I'm fairly new to Southern Ohio myself. but if you're interested in a hatter then check out the link in this thread: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=15879

I'm hoping to have the chance to check out his shop on Monday.

Cheers,
Tom

Actually, I am about equal distance from Cincinnati and Chillicothe . . . But I am in Cincinnati on business at least once a week. So I will check out Batsakes, this week and give you all a full report.

I will also try and get by Rumaldo at some time in the future . . .

Thanks for the update.

BTW, let me know if you get any info on good sources in Louisville. I'll be moving there in a few months and will have to start from scratch with finding where to get quality menswear.

Batsakes

Mingoslim --

Here's what I had to say about Batsakes a few months back...

By all means go there -- I think you will find it well worth the trip! Let us know how it goes!

Cheers,
Jimmy

Nobby Custom Tailors

Nobby's is a custom tailoring shop in downtown Cincinnati (14 W. 7th St.). They do very good work at reasonable prices. They are located 1 block west of Batsake's hat store.
Saks also has a outlet store in Cincinnati.

I hadn't seen these, Jimmy! I didn't realize that the current location isn't the original one. It looks like it's always been there.

Thanks!
