Best Places To Buy A Necktie In Baltimore

It's an accessory of menswear which is not often given as much consideration as it deserves, however, a good necktie can make or break a formal outfit. Most men's closets are crammed with cheap ties bought at department stores as Father's Day gifts, novelty items or as second-thought items when a job interview is coming up. Very little time is ever spent putting thought or selection into the process. Fortunately, there are a number of stores in the Baltimore area which not only stock great neckties, but will also help you with the selection to make certain the item is perfect for your needs.

Kenneth Himmelstein, owner of Samuel Parker Clothier, founded the establishment after many long years in the fashion and men'swear business. One of his primary reasons for opening the shop was his observation that there was a tremendous lack of fine men's clothing available for residents of the Baltimore area. With an eye for fine clothing and many long years in the business, Ken brings in some of the finest styles from all over the world. He is especially proud of the fine English Heritage Brands, including handmade neckwear by Drakes London and Seaward & Stearn. It's safe to say that there are few places in Baltimore that can compete with Samuel Parker for quality in neckties.
