The Class Room

The Class Room is a locally owned boutique that carries brands like 3Sixteen, A.P.C., Carhartt, Engineered Garments and Rogue Territory. With a specialization in denim, their mission is to bridge the gap between “street-wear” and “menswear”.

They are currently one of the only Common Projects stockist in Houston so if you are looking to get a pair this is the place for you. The shop is also very active in promoting Houston’s menswear scene. Keep an eye on their social media to find out when they host their Whisky Wednesdays.

Hamilton Shirts

Hamilton Shirts is considered one of the best shirt makers in the US. Their ready-to-wear line is priced from $195-295 but they also have made-to-measure and true bespoke shirts as well. RTW shirts can be purchased at the Hamilton Shirts store front on Richmond but they do not maintain a large inventory. For a larger inventory check out one of their stockists (STAG) or online.

Their made-to-measure service can purchased online. Bespoke shirts are only available directly through getting measured in person at the Hamilton Shirts store or one of their stockists. A minimum order of five shirts for first time bespoke customers.

Visit Hamilton Shirts at 5700 Richmond Ave, Houston, TX 77057 or online at www.hamiltonshirts.com

Suitsupply

Based out of Amsterdam, Suitsupply is one of the best entry-level suit makers on the market. Because they carry 100% wool half-canvased suiting starting at $399, Suitsupply is where I recommend everyone who asks me where to buy their first suit.

If you are looking for that perfect suit for your wedding, job interviews, or just to expand your current lineup then be sure to make a trip out to Suitsupply’s beautiful space and let one of their knowledgeable staff assist you.

Visit them at: 2601 Westheimer Rd #220, Houston, TX 77098 in the West Ave Plaza and www.suitsupply.com

STAG Provisions

From Austin, STAG is a multi-brand menswear boutique that carries brands like Baldwin, Garrett Leight, Gitman Vintage, Levi’s Made & Crafted, Penfield, Saturdays Surf NYC, & The Hill-Side. They also carry vintage furniture, books, vinyls and a bunch of other one-of-a-kind items. I recommend STAG if you are into workwear & denim.

The Webster

The Webster, a multi-store boutique based out of Miami opened up their first store outside of Florida in Houston at the Galleria in March 2016. Although the men’s section is only a quarter of the store’s 5000 square footage, it’s racks are packed to the brim with brands like Alexander Wang, Acne
Studios, Givenchy, Hood By Air, Maison Margiela, Saint Laurent, Visvim and Yeezy to name a few. I found the store a bit hard to navigate because it’s not organized by designer like all of the other boutiques I’m used to visiting but I was able to enlist one of their knowledgeable staff to help me. The Webster is a must see if you are into fashion.
