Paul Smith

I'm a huge a paul smith sale fan, so when I heard about a larger flagship store opening in Soho I was definitely very excited. A couple of things to note - the 5th ave store was great but they actually didn't do any of the tailoring on premises. So, you'd spend a large sum of money on a tailored suit, and it would be sent out for any alterations (Luigi's on 7th ave if you're wondering - true, he does do an amazing job). So for most people in the know it always made sense to buy Paul Smith from Saks or Bloomies because you'd have free, guaranteed alterations, points, and view a much larger Paul Smith men's shoes selection.

Ah, the games all changed now - Paul Smith on Greene has an in-house tailor, a huge collection of the different lines - PS Jeans, Blue, London, Luxury, etc. and best of all, for me, all the little quarks that makes Paul Smith such an exciting brand. For example, if you're into rare art books, or traveling (complete selection of wallpaper city guides to an assortment of overnight bags) you have to check out this store!

Lastly,while I'm obviously a fan of the store, I'm not saying you can't still get a better deal on Paul Smith gear elsewhere in the city-saks, bloomies (atleast they have a sale or two?)-I'd still visit the store for the full paul smith men experience though - cheers And true Sam,they do have two annual sales, but notice they're timed with last-cut at saks and final at barneys-where you'd save even more.
