What Is Your Favorite Brick and Mortar Men's Store?

Battastoni Rome is a beautiful space. Also Asprey London is gorgeous.

+5 Battistoni in Rome. A truly beautiful store.

A lot of these stores are not strictly "Men's Stores," I note. Are we talking about B&M stores that sell men's clothing, e.g., Barney's, Bloomingdales's, Neiman's, Saks, etc., or are we talking about stores that strictly sell menswear like Gary's or Carroll & Co. (in my part of the world)? A little clarification here might help.

Well if we are talking about good looking stores where we will never buy anything. Garys on Fashion Island would be my fav.

Harrods, Knightsbridge, London and anything at....

China Central Mall, Beijing(except for Starbucks).

...at least they know how to spell "Emporio" in Beijing.

I love Bergdorf, but my heart belongs to Paul Stuart and always will.
I've told this story before on this Forvm, but when I was a young copywriter fresh off the boat from Minnesota I would wander through Paul Stuart with no intention of buying anything. One day I was admiring a navy suit priced north of $1500. The salesguy offered to help me with it but I said he shouldn't bother because I couldn't afford it. He insisted I try it anyway, adding "so you'll come back in a few years and buy one then." The unfailing graciousness of the staff has indeed kept me a customer there for well over a decade.
They also have their own relatively timeless style. Wearing one of their suits, you could take a time machine to any point in the last 80 years and not look out of place.
And I do love their Phineas Cole stuff, even if some of the items are a tad costumey.

Fantastic story. Thanks for sharing.

In Denver I like Lawrence Covell, Andrisen Morton and the RL boutique in the mall.

My temple of awesomeness is Alan Bilzerian (terrible website though). I find something new in there every time.

For shoes I really liked Leffot the one time I went there. I've never been to Leathersoul but I imagine it'll be just as good as Leffot.
