Guys--
Anyone in Chicago, can you tell me where to find kiton shirts and ties? Does neiman marcus carry a good supply, or maybe the Saks mens store not far from the NM store?

I'm still jonesing for a solid light blue kiton shirt, and maybe a new necktie, which I'm hoping to purchase just before I make my way back overseas for a while. I figure it'll be plenty of time for the sleeve and body adjustments by the store tailor, and they can ship both to an outta state address to save me from payin the sales tax

The Saks Men's Store has a very good selection of Kiton on the third floor. I can't remember if the NM in Chicago carries Kiton. I think George Greene (on Oak St.) might also sell Kiton.

thanks, Bryce! Any chance you saw any solid blue shirts last time you visited any of those locales? For some reason, these seem harder to find.

I almost bought this one recently, guess if I can find one similar (or even paler blue in color), I'll probably nab it.

I think George Greene of former Ultimo?? store has a Kiton section, he is down the street from Mr. Despos and the Barney store on Oak.

John Jones managed the men's section at Ultimo before opening George Greene, along with a couple of other fellows, none of whom named George Greene.

Morris and Sons has been known to traffic in Kiton

That's funny. I don't really understand how they do it.

NM has a good Kiton selection, especially in ties and Morris & Sons often does as well. Sak's may also, but I'd suggest almost anyone over Sak's.

Have Despos make you the shirt custom for less than George Greene or Sak's Kiton retail. And it will fit precisely which is something Kiton can't deliver.

thanks, guys. Soph, I'm still not at the point of custom stuff-- can't return for subsequent fittings anytime in the near future.

I don't think Barney's is carrying Kiton since they opened the new store. Still a good selection on 3rd floor of Saks. Morris & Sons def carries it. So does George Greene, if I recall. I think GG even had some Kiton shoes?

GG may be the only place selling Kiton shoes in Chicago

Great shirts but their shoes leave me cold.
