If you looked up “Coppley custom clothing” in a thesaurus, you would find the following synonyms: high-quality, luxury, and the best in custom suiting.

OK, hypothetically you would.

But you get the point. Coppley is a Canadian-based clothier that pioneered the making of a made-to-measure suit in just seven days, and is one of the best in the biz when it comes to making a suit that fits and looks exactly the way a guy wants. They also make sport coats and trousers that we love.

Coppley’s top-tier products are why we, Christopher James Menswear, are excited to be offering a great sale on all Coppley clothing this month. Here are the deets:

20% off all Coppley custom suits, sport coats, and trousers.
The sale lasts from now until August 2nd.

Obviously, the sooner you come in, the more fabrics you will have to choose from. And so you know, Coppley gets its fabrics from luxury manufacturers around the world like Scabal (Brussles), Zegna (Italy), Holland and Sherry (New York City), and Loro Piana (Italy). We can barely contain all the worldliness and culture here inside CJM in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

(If you’re interested, here’s the latest on the 2014 fall/winter season’s best fabrics from Scabal, one of Coppley’s sources).

Coppley and Christopher James can accommodate any cut–classic or modern slim–and we promise the craftsmanship will be nothing short of exquisite.

So, if you’re looking for a suit that fits like a glove, and looks like a million bucks (but doesn’t cost nearly that), come see us at Christopher James Menswear. We’d love to see you.

So, the children you so lovingly raised with the utmost attention, support, and perfect balance of disciplinarian and loving father, failed to get you anything good this year. It happens. Don’t be disappointed. A guy like you, with superior taste, can be hard to shop for. So it’s more of a compliment, really.

However, you were probably hoping for something a little more fun than compliments this Father’s Day, so if those were all you got, come in and see us at Christopher James Menswear and we’ll help you pick out something you love.

We have tons of Agave knits that are perfect for summer, swimwear from Michael’s that is perfect for the pool or the beach, and as always, a stellar shoe collection. Maybe you want some new kicks for the green? Or a pair more appropriate for summer office attire? We have many options for both. We also have fun accessories, like pocket squares and rounds, which are very in this season.

So, come in and see us. Find us here.

We are almost positive we have something you’ll like. Unless of course, you want a corny tie or an apron that says “Grillmaster.”  Well, then, you know where to look…

Come get this look at Christopher James Menswear. Woman and bison not included.

T-shirt and jeans is a look that is as American as apple pie. From James Dean to the Fonz, to the nerd-chic techies in Silicon Valley, jeans and a t-shirt has acquired a luxury look all its own. Agave, a California-based denim brand, has perfected the luxury jeans and tee look, and flavored it with its signature West Coast aesthetic. They make exceptional jeans (which we carry at CJM), but they also makes knits that every guy in Fort Wayne, Indiana needs in his closet.

Agave knits, like Agave jeans, are well-made and last forever. There is no need to worry that they will fall apart after one wash (here’s looking at you, Mr. Three-Shirt Value Pack from Walmart). Also, Agave knits are 100% cotton or tencel, so they feel delicious. FYI: Tencel is a natural fiber known for nice draping, which is what often gives an Agave t-shirt that sophisticated, high-quality look.

We currently have A TON of Agave Knits in stock, and think you need to own some of them. We have them in a variety of “desert” colors, like tan, dusty blue, indigo, brown, white, eggplant, and more. We also have v-necks, crew necks, and polos, and shirts with and without pockets.

Really, we are like an Agave knit utopia. You have to see for it yourself. Come check out our selection.

A nice suits comes at price, and while the cost is often justified, sometimes your bank account just won’t allow it. So, what is a man with a keen sartorial eye but lighter wallet supposed to do when he needs a suit or sport coat?

Easy: he goes for Paul Betenly.

Paul Betenly is known around the world for making high-quality suits at affordable prices, allowing men to look sharp and still pay their bills. PB suits and sports coat are half-canvassed and made from fine Italian wool. Also, the stitching and inlaying on a Paul Betenly suit is on par with other high-end brands.

In addition to crafting classic fitting suits, Paul Betenly also makes high-quality slimmer suits, desired by many of the younger guys today. So, the young lad can get the skinny trousers and thin lapels he wants at a price he can afford, and the distinguished gent can try something a little trendier without as much risk.

But regardless of the fit or the age of the wearer, all Paul Betenly suits and sport coats are elegant and express all-American sophistication.

Also, there is a certain pleasure to be had in knowing that you look just as good for a fraction of the price. With a Paul Betenly suit, no one will know you paid well under $1,000 for it, and they might even assume you have champagne taste. (And also, what guy doesn’t love a bang for his buck?)

So, if you’re on a budget but want a high-quality suit or sport coat, come see us about our Paul Betenly collection.

We just wrote a post about Agave denim, and then thought it would be prudent to mention all the Agave knits we carry at Christopher James Menswear, too.

Like Agave’s jeans, their shirts are built to last. The brand excels at making high-quality basics, which means that with a few Agave knits in your closet, you will not have to replace your t-shirts as often. And that is priceless, really.

Most of their knits are 100% cotton or tencel. Tencel is natural fiber known for its draping. So, an Agave shirt made out of tencel will generally be very flattering to the body. Tencel is also really soft, almost silky, so it feels great against your skin. Lastly, it’s a very strong fabric, so it can endure many washes and still look like new.

Agave knits go great with jeans, of course, but they also make for great undershirts, so you can repurpose them for work and play. For a relaxed, but still sophisticated spring look, pair an Agave tee with a light cardigan and dark-washed jeans.

Also, like Agave jeans, Agave knits are all made in California and via an environmentally friendly process. So, you can feel good about the clothes your wearing and your clean conscience. It’s a win-win.
