smith + butler: for the wannabe outdoorsman

February 24th, 2010 | brooklyn, shops

finding not too stylized men’s clothes at reasonable prices in brooklyn can be a little rough, but i think that smith + butler is a good place to start. although it has plenty of biker paraphernalia, smith + butler also has plenty of goods that the average guy could easily wear without feeling too fussed up.   i would start with the cute wool jackets in navy, grey and red wool by post o’alls, the fleece plaid jackers by woolrich, jack spade cardigans, saint james white and navy striped wool sweaters and and pointer brand jeans and jackets.  smith + butler also carries a smattering of vintage clothes from pendleton, woolrich and some old leather jackets.  i cannot vouch for how all these clothes fit, and the new york times critic seemed to think what he tried on was too loose and boxy, but the goods sure looked cute.

if you are into biking, well smith + butler has plenty of motorbikes (the deus is a relatively recent addition), and all the accessories including gold sparkly helmets from harley davidson, leather jackets by belstaff, biker like boots and even greasy kulture magazine.  smith + butler also carries some women’s goods like my favorite built by wendy, as well as plenty of girly accessories such as digby and iona jewelry, yayoi forest necklaces and designs from lewis henry nicholas. and if you like the look of the store — a bit urban and gritty, they’ll even offer some interior design services. 

in addition to a the clothing stock, smith + butler has been carrying some great accessories including the recent addition of makr wallets,  plaid wool totes, barbour gloves, leather filson caps, vera pelle belts and a recent addition of quoddy grizzly boots.   i’m now also craving one of these leashes from found my animal  that smith + butler are carrying because that new dog in our life certainly needs to be stylish while she’s turning our lives upside down.  smith + butler: 225 smith street at butler, brooklyn, new york, .
