M.S. McClellan

Fall Events

Cheers to 60 years!

By

Fall 2026 marks an important milestone for the legacy of M.S. McClellan & Co.
It’s our 60th anniversary!

Looking back, the business started somewhat by happenstance. After growing up in Knoxville, graduating from the University of Tennessee, and serving in the military, Matthew McClellan went to work in retail at Schriver’s in downtown Knoxville learning the business of men’s clothing. When presented with the opportunity to lease space on Cumberland Avenue next to UT’s campus, Matthew, in 1966, at 27 years old opened his first haberdashery. 

Of course, the business has evolved through the decades. Store locations have changed, the merchandise mix has increased ten-fold, a professional tailor shop was made permanent, and an upscale ladies area was added. Through many changes, the store has stayed true to its brand of offering fine, tailored clothing and updated classics for men and women. We strive to take care of each customer with respect to their needs, making sure they are pleased with the fit and performance of their purchases. 

Since 1987, M. S. McClellan & Co. has been located in Knoxville’s Bearden area at 5614 Kingston Pike, where you’ll likely find Matthew on any given work day. We celebrate the McClellan family for sixty successful years and salute our community of customers near and far for your loyal and enduring patronage. 

And, as Bob McClellan would inevitably and resoundingly add to his fall season greeting:
Thank you and GO VOLS!

There’s still no WOO in Rocky Top!

Bring on the Fall!

As the season’s vibrant colors emerge, we invite you to explore our latest collections, meticulously curated to reflect the sophistication and elegance you’ve come to expect from us. This season, we’ve combined timeless classics with contemporary trends to offer a wardrobe that stands out and endures. We can’t wait for you to see these new arrivals, which will ensure you step into the season with confidence and style. After all, fall is the season of firepits and football – and you must look the part!

We are also thrilled to announce our upcoming trunk shows, where you can get a sneak peek at some of the season’s most anticipated collections in men’s and ladies’. These shows are designed to excite you about the latest trends before they hit the racks. From tailored clothing to upscale casual, we invite you to join us for one-of-a-kind events where our expert team will provide personalized advice to help you discover the perfect looks for any occasion.

And while you’re getting your calendar out,
mark November 7 down for an exclusive evening with New York Times best-selling author and fly fishing aficionado David Coggins.  He’ll be here signing his new book, “The Believer –  A Year in the Fly Fishing Life.”  David is always entertaining and well worth meeting.

Your continued support and loyalty mean the
world to us, and we look forward to welcoming you this fall. As always, come visit us in-store to experience the luxury, craftsmanship,
and impeccable service that
define our brand. 

We can’t wait to see you!

Welcome to Fall!

It’s no surprise, but we’re all just a little eager to see the fall season arrive here in East Tennessee. There’s not a better time in our little corner of the world when the air cools off, the leaves start to change, and the Smokies give you every reason for weekend getaways. Throw in some renewed enthusiasm for the Volunteers, and you’ve got an exciting fall on your hands!

Fall is also our favorite time of the year because of the always exciting possibilities with new fabrics, colors, and textures. Autumn is a season for layering here in our region, and this year we’ll be giving you plenty of options with sport shirts, pants, sweaters, overshirts, scarves, and outerwear so that you can step out in style and comfort – guaranteed. And any day now, we’ll be getting new supplies of our game day clothing so you can proudly cheer on The Big Orange!

A new season allows us to introduce you to a new schedule of curated events designed with you in mind. Over the next few months, we will bring our very best collections to the store to showcase the special and unique that you have come to expect from M. S. McClellan. From dressed up to dressed down (and all the accessories in between), our fall events leave no stone unturned. Please ensure that you are signed up for our emails and text messages so that you never miss out on any of our events.

Whether you’re headed to the mountains, sitting by the fire pit, hanging out in Neyland, or just going about your daily groove, M. S. McClellan has what you need to look good. 

All the best to you, as we look forward to visiting with you very soon!
