Knowing where you can get some of life’s luxuries, or essentials for that matter, is often very important – especially in a hurry. If you’re in NY and need to know where to go to for the best in men’s fashion, then look no further than this handy guide as we run through New York’s best tailors and shoemakers.

Michael Andrews Bespoke

A men’s tailors run by a former attorney may seem a strange choice to go to but Michael Andrews Bespoke has been consistently voted in numerous ‘best of’ lists by the likes of New York Magazine, Time Out NYC and Bloomberg Markets.

After being unable to find a suit to his exact liking or requirements during his legal days, Andrews quit that profession, completed a course on professional tailoring and launched his own store in 2006.

Established in Switzerland by Carl Franz Bally after being inspired by shoe makers during a trip to Paris, Bally has long been recognised as an industry leader in the footwear world. In the late 1870’s Bally started to open stores across the globe and a decade later was one of the first luxury stores to open in China.

John Lobb

The original John Lobb was a Cornish farm boy and would go to become the proud holder of a Royal Warrant as Boot maker to Edward, Prince of Wales. The Prince, as King Edward VII, was to give his name to the Edwardian era of opulence and splendour; an era in which Lobb shoes became a synonym for quality and elegance.

At 800 Madison Avenue, between 67th and 68th streets you can now experience a slice of British history and create your very own bespoke boot.
