ONE OF THE BEST

by arthurchicago

Definitely not for the masses.

This is one of the few places anywhere(and the only place in Chicago),where you begin to understand the meaning of understated elegance.This is the type of establishment that every high end mens clothier aspires to be.For the gentleman who has graduated from the overpriced 'cookie-cutter' designer labels

seen in virtually every store in Chicago(so called boutiques and department stores alike),and is past the"me-too, quasi status symbol stage,Paul Stuart can assist you in shaping a fashion sense of your own.

The store and it's NYC counterpart,offer a vast array of finely crafted menswear(womens wear also),with suits that are the closest to "bespoke " anywhere outside of a custom tailor.The fabrications are lush, supple,and are of the finest quality available outside a few custom shops.ONE OF THE FEW PLACES who still offer exact sleeve and neck sizes on shirts.Egygtian cotton,sea-island,broadcloth are among the many choices.Outstanding collection of casual/sportswear.Tough to resist the great selection of handcrafted and hi-end cashmere sweaters.Knowledgeable staff,who are eager to assist you in building a wardrobe which you wear, NOT that wears you.

• Pros: EXCELLENT SELECTION / KNOWLEDGEABLE STAFF
• Cons: PARKING

The gold standard in ,,

by martysiegel

Paul Stuart is ,as will always be , the gold standard by which other proveyers of fine mens clothing are judged..Designer labels, for the most part, rarely match the timeless elegance of a Paul Stuart garment,,instead rely ing on on the whimsy of the public and vast majority of men who have yet to learn the difference between fashion and style,or even worse, equate price with quality.

For the man who really appreciate that quality, no store in america rivals Paul Stuart. At both the Chicago store and the flagship New York store,you find only the finest quality,thehighest standards,impececcable service and an array of clothing that speaks in a "quiet voice" .Formal to casual, city or country,you are always assured the announcement is one of style,elegance and confident sophistication. For the gentleman who has, or wishes to refine his style I.Q.,or has outgrown the need to be a part of the "me too" crowd,you won't be dissapointed.

• Pros: Attention to detail from the 4 ply cashmere sweater,vicuna cashmere dress coatto the every day essentials. Understated ambience,knowledgable staff
