Shop of the Week: rag & bone

Interior with exposed wooden beams and vintage brass spiral staircase

rag & bone continues its stylish conquest of Christopher Street with a new men’s shop. PAPERMAG was impressed by their flagship that opened back in September, so we thought we’d peep the new outpost for gents only located a few doors down. The rustic vintage vibe is intact with exposed brick walls and metal pipes, rough wooden shelves and table displays, and antiques scattered about.

Just as the store itself channels a pared down but polished look, the tailored men’s clothing evokes classic cool mixed with a bit of Civil-War-era style. From the black and olive Dodger Boot (pictured above) to the double breasted coats and blazers, rag & bone excels at crafting menswear that is hip and timeless at the same time. (See: men dining at Marlow & Sons, Freemans -- you know the look). The store carries piles of their signature denim and their full menswear line of dress shirts, knits, vests, casual tees and an impressive range of outerwear that includes leather track jackets, cashmere car coats, tux jackets, wool and cashmere great coats, and species of blazers we didn’t know existed.

For you eleventh hour shoppers: much of rag & bone’s fall collection is now 40-60 percent off. The waffle sack jacket (which looks like a chunky cardigan) or the cotton cashmere thermal shirt would make a toasty gift. Or try a crocheted skinny tie and driving gloves for something smaller. We didn’t find a dud among the rag & bone racks, so you really can’t go wrong.
