A couple of things seem to be pretty much impossible to find: tie clips that don't suck, collar bars (not those clips, ugh), real bow ties (even the formal ones), and in the streetwear category, there are almost zero good belts available even at the places that have good everything else.

The thing that's most stupid is that all these are pretty fashion-safe and don't take up room, so having one or two that sit for a long time shouldn't be a big deal, but it would say volumes to me as a customer even if I don't want/need any of them. Finding a store that really had everything you could think of, even if only a few of some things, would make me want to check back there. I'd assume that the owner knew his stuff.

In the categorie of gentlemanaccessoiries, I believe Edmorel has got a little something called a marital aid, made of ivory and satin... Labelking had a more upscale version made of a hollow elephant foot and vintage silk lining.

I'm not black, or Dominican.

I didn't say it was a tight fit LK...
(btw: nice the Dominican reference to the legendary playboy)

As I was reading this thread, I was trying to think of a store that has a good assortment of most of these things. Although most SF members seem to dislike their stalking sales help, Paul Stuart in NYC always seems to have a lot of belts, socks, cuff links, pocket squares, scarves, ties, etc. And, colorful options at that.

Are there any other stores that come to mind that are well stocked with a great range of quality accessories?

To add to the theme that seems to be developing in this thread, i.e. a dearth of decent accessories, I find that most stores have a pitiful selection of scarves.
