The Alton Lane Sartorial Experience

NYC Showroom

No matter your level of sartorial knowledge Alton Lane is the place to go not just for your suiting needs but also for shirts, ties and even pocket squares. I had the chance to visit their New York City location and see for myself the location and all that it has to offer. One of it's crown jewels is the 3D body scanner. I had them scan me, you know, to get the full experience. The scan is quick and reminded me of the fountains at the Bellagio (you'll have to try it out to find out why) which provides all the measurements needed to make the best fitting suit/shirt. Once your measurements are recorded you can go on to choose the fabrics from some of the best mills in Europe. There are a variety of samples of the styles on hand to choose for your future suit and shirt so you know exactly what you're getting and might see something new to try out. 

DC Showroom

Their mission at Alton Lane is to create a space where men can feel comfortable to hangout and shop. With a flat screen TV, bar and even a not-so-secret poker room (at the NYC location) you'll have a great time while getting an awesome suit. Don't worry, they have locations all over the US and are planning on opening a few more in the very near future.

Made in the USA: Fine And Dandy Shop

Blazer- H&M | Shirt- JCrew | Tie + Pocket Square- Fine and Dandy Shop

For the second installment of Made in the USA, Fine and Dandy Shop is one that stands out to me. New York is over flowing with talented designers so its great to see when they can make their creations locally like these guys do. As I've mentioned before Fine and Dandy provide accessories any dapper and elegant gentleman might need. I looked through their current collection and saw this unique light purple linen tie and this sharp black purple plaid pocket square, both items made in the Big Apple. If you're in the area make sure to visit their shop if your not you can visit their site here.

Is there a shop in your area that also provides great handmade accessories like these?

En el segundo post de Hecho en los EE.UU, la tienda de Fine and Dandy se destaca en esta categoria. Nueva York esta lleno de talentosos diseñadores y me encanta ver cuando ellos pueden crear sus diseños localmente como los de Fine and Dandy. Como he mencionada antes Fine and Dandy proveen accesorios para caballero ya sea corbatas, pañuelos, ascots y mas. En su colección actual vi esta corbata de lino y tambien el pañuelo negro de cuadros violeta, ambos hechos en la Gran Manzana. Y estas en Nueva York asegurate de visitar su tiendo si no visita su sitio web.
