This past sunny Saturday afternoon, a gentleman friend of mine dragged me into this men's boutique on LES that I've often passed but never bothered to go into being the self-interested shopper that I am. Che sorpresa! By Robert James is a gem of a store that is immaculately curated both in offered merchandise and interior design. Working with an outside tailor, the owner custom creates much of the clothing for its clientele. While my pal was trying on three men's jackets about forty-two times on rotation trying to decide on which to purchase, I subjected Mr. James and his bad ass 'stache to my line of questioning.
