After taking a break for a few years, we’re pleased to announce that we’re back in the fold with Luciano Barbera. For those not in the know, Luciano Barbera is simply some of the most luxurious goods to be had. Beautiful fabrics drenched in the colors of the season make for pieces that will stand the test of time and quickly become favorites. This season, we’ve brought in an exclusive assortment of outerwear and sweaters. We hope you’ll drop in and check out these treasures for yourself.
For starters, we have this lightweight, but warm, quilted soft coat. Great by the fire and perfectly acceptable for a night out on the town.
The devil is in the details….
Add to this wonderful soft coat an equally cozy cashmere 1/4 button sweater from Barbera.
This vest from Barbera is the absolute bomb! So many times in East Tennessee all that is required is a vest and sweater combo to keep the chill off. This vest has a little more to it than the old puffer vest.
And for a little sprezzatura, which Luciano Barbera has in spades, flip the inside of the vest pocket out for a ready made pocket square!
This beautiful cashmere sweater will go with anything you have hanging in your closet. Guaranteed.

The Finest Ties in the World
Once upon a time, the finest ties were made in the Seven Fold tradition. It’s a process where the tie is entirely constructed from folded silk with no linings. It’s lavish, time consuming and yes, expensive. The good people at Robert Talbott resurrected the tradition in 1986 and they are the only American tie maker that creates these works of art. We carry the Robert Talbott Seven Fold tie in our store and bring in new styles seasonally, and we figured you might want to know a little more about these beautiful works of art.
Some things worth knowing…
*Seven fold ties are made entirely by hand and use a full yard of silk that is folded seven times. It’s a labor intensive process as the silk is cut and sewn by hand.
*Due to the hand making process, seven fold ties are a limited production of 40 ties for each pattern and then discontinued.
* The cost can be an eye opener, but the seven fold tie is the ultimate neckwear. If you want the most beautiful neckwear made from the best fabrics then the seven fold tie is for you. It’s the most luxurious piece of neckwear in the world.
Check out the video from Robert Talbott to learn more about the seven fold tie. Come visit us to see them for yourself.
Signs of Fall
Little by little the seasonal changes have been coming. And just our luck they have been coming sooner rather than later.
