Known for creating beautifully made, classic neckwear and pocket handkerchiefs, Alexander Olch has recently expanded his offering to include hats, shirting and pyjamas, all of which can be found at his first flagship store. Located on Orchard Street in New York's Lower East Side, the well-appointed brick and mortar, featuring hand bent glass light fixtures and simple white shelving, was built out by the design firm Ennis McIntosh.

Words

There seem to be enough weddings and parties going on lately to warrant the purchase of a couple lightweight summer ties. I find the fall season is much nicer with tweeds and wools when it comes to neckwear, but this spring produced a few that actually make me want to dress up more often. Gitman Vintage, Engineered Garments and Alexander Olch are the usual suspects for their shape, fabric choice and colour palettes.
