Suits in Paris?

Axel,

I really don't like a lot of the sartorial options here. By the time that you arrive, you'll have missed the sales. Is the 700€ per suit or total? I'll try to advise once I have more information.

Arthur et Fox

I posted this in '09 on Paris shopping. I haven't been
there since but I understand from a fellow local SF
member that A et F remain an excellent shop for
classical clothing at decent prices for the high quality.


"I endorse Max Jones' recommendation for Arthur et Fox
on Boulvard St Germaine.I have slacks from them,
one pair of which is over twenty years old and still looks
good. They sell classical British-inspired clothing of very
high quality at relatively reasonable prices."

Axel, 4-700E can get you pretty far in Paris.

My two recommendations are:

Boggi Paris (they just opened about a year ago)
112 Boulevard Saint Germain

Bruce Field (this is a chain store there are about 15 of them all over Paris) -- they are like the French budget Brooks Brothers, price is a tad lower than Boggi, but you can find decent suits and jackets there.

There is a Bruce Field store next to Boggi (136, Bd Saint Germain), and there are a couple near l'Opera and Comedie Francaise.

In fact, if get off at subway St. Germain des Pres and walk to the east along blvd St. Germain, there are a number of shops worth visiting until you reach blvd St. Michel. It's about half a mile long. (Check out Loding Shoes and Finsbury Shoes.)
