The store goes beyond your run-of-the-mill retail floor plan: it houses a Persons of Interest barbershop operated by Steve Marks, a café/bar manned by Nick Morgenstern of El Rey Coffee Bar & Luncheonette, and shop-in-shops with Moscot eyewear and Aesop products. In addition to carrying apparel and curated selections from the designer’s partners like Champion, Timex, Mackintosh, Glove Trotter, Tricker’s, and Alden, the store is partnering with 1stdibs to offer a rotating limited-edition selection of gifts, art, and furniture.
“Every collection starts with inspiration from the worlds of art, architecture and design, made to fit the modern man and his lifestyle,” Snyder said in a statement. “We created the New York store to embody that lifestyle down to the smallest detail, all hand selected from resources and vendors we love, many via our new partners at 1stdibs. It’s not just a clothing store – it’s a great place to come for a seasonal wardrobe upgrade with a personal stylist, to get fitted for your next suit while enjoying an espresso or a beer, or to hang out with friends while getting a haircut and a shave.” The flagship was designed with James Mills, and includes vintage brass door handles sourced in London from Anthony Outred Antiques and modern and midcentury furniture. British artist Luke Edward Hall created the opening visual installation, and signed and numbered prints are available in the store. The café/bar area features custom-designed terrazzo floor by New York artist Zackery Tyler, a vintage ’60s Italian chandelier, and vintage Thonet chairs, while the barbershop is decorated with bespoke barber chairs made in Japan.

The high-end vintage barbershop trend has made it to Detroit, raising prices and quality standards for guys seeking a trim and an old-school shave.This month's big opening was Fellow Barber, a Brooklyn, N.Y.-based chain that helped popularize the current revival of interest in traditional barbering among a younger generation of style-conscious men.Situated near the Shinola store in Midtown, the shop offers $40 cuts, $50 straight razor shaves and a still-to-open craft cocktail lounge on its second floor.This is Fellow Barber's fifth location — the first outside of New York City or San Francisco. While its prices are lower than what the shop charges on the coasts, they break new ground for a basic men's cut in Detroit."We charge $40, which is a reasonable price," said co-founder Sam Buffa, who is 37. "It's not cheap by any means, but we really feel like it's something that elevates the craft."
He and William Tigertt, 41, a Michigan native and former Detroit resident, opened their first barbershop in 2006 to give men another option between ultra-cheap hair cut franchises and full-service unisex salons.Their original shop, distinct for its antique lighting fixtures and the barbers' dapper outfits, was called the "the first proper hipster barbershop" by the New York Times. It predated the mainstream re-emergence of beards on men in their 20s and 30s, a trend that has increased demand for the sort of facial hair grooming products (often seen in retro-style packaging) that Fellow Barber stocks.In a nod to local history, the Detroit Fellow Barber features mid-20th Century barber chairs and reclaimed wood from downtown's Grand Army of the Republic Building."We're definitely inspired by the '60s Detroit era and we're trying to bring that sort of modern, American sophistication into a brighter new space," Buffa said.So why did Fellow Barber pick Midtown Detroit?The co-owners cited their company's interest in "emerging neighborhoods," along with Tigertt's local ties."
When I was here in the '90s, not everyone but a lot of people, after they got out of college, they went out to the coasts or they at least went to Chicago," said Tigertt, who attended University of Detroit Jesuit High and lived in downtown from 1995 until 2001.. "Now the brain drain is being reversed. Instead of moving to Berlin or moving to Williamsburg (Brooklyn), they're moving to Detroit."A few minutes with ... a man with quick scissorsThis month also marked the reopening and expansion of Standard Barber Co., a barbershop that started up last winter on the second floor of the flatiron-shaped Reid Building in downtown. This shop is a throwback to an even earlier period of American barbering, complete with antique chairs, spinning barber poles, combs in blue fluid and a staff decked out in ties and vests.Standard Barber is owned by longtime friends Matthew Temkin and Steve Economy, who grew up in Farmington and are now both 33. Their shop has attracted a downtown crowd of many office workers and residents.
Their most requested haircut is the "Don Draper," also called a businessman's cut.Their prices — $20 for a cut and $25 for a straight razor shave — are in line with popular male-focused shops in the suburbs, such as WiseGuys Haircuts and Lady Jane's Haircuts for Men.Its old-time look and feel appealed to Detroit resident Mike Eisenberg, 35, who used to drive to the suburbs for haircuts. "I've always been a fan of the classic barbershop," said Eisenberg, a restaurant manager. "When I heard that we were getting a place that was a 5-minute bike ride rather than a 20-minute car ride, I was excited."Another variant of the new Detroit barbershop is Social Club Grooming Co., which opened in 2012 on the edge of Wayne State University. The barbershop was founded by former WSU student Sebastian Jackson, who sought to draw a diverse range of customers beyond college students.Social Club attracts some big names, including Detroit Lions running back Reggie Bush, and is presently adding to its roster of five barbers.
Its monthly "Shop Talk" community forums draw audiences with presentations by influential locals, such as Detroit-born neo-soul singer Dwele.Prices start at $20 for a buzz and $25 for a cut.Outside Detroit, one the area's oldest and most traditional barbershops is downtown Birmingham's the Barber Pole, which dates to 1949. Many of its customers having been coming in for decades, including grandfathers who now bring their grandsons. Prices are $15 to $20.The business was owned by the same family until 2007, when it was acquired by one of its young barbers, Stephen Trachsel, who is senior pastor of Grace Apostolic Church in Clawson.Trachsel, 37, is one of the few barbers who still sharpens the blades of straight razors with an authentic leather strop that hangs from a barber chair. The formal vest he wears is not for marketing, he says, but a practical means to restrain his tie when giving shaves."If you're looking for a good old-fashioned barbershop that's true to its roots — this is it," he said.
"This particular barber shop isn't built for the trendy guys looking for the hipster barbershop."Sam Zeolla, 83, could be the godfather of Detroit barbering. He has been in business since 1954 inside downtown's Chrysler House. He too once sharpened his straight razors with a leather strop, but says he switched to replaceable blades 25 years ago.Zeolla has been cutting the hair of one retired lawyer in Grosse Pointe since 1956. "He is my oldest customer," he said. "I had a few others, but they left — they died."His eyes grew wide upon learning the prices at the city's newest barbershop. He still charges $15 for a haircut."I wish them a lot of luck," Zeolla said, "but I don't think they're gonna succeed with a $40 cut. You might get away with it in Chicago or New York, but this is Detroit."Buffa, the co-owner of Fellow Barber in Midtown, said they anticipate drawing a crowd of local customers during the week with more suburban visitors on weekends."This neighborhood is getting more popular to live in, and Detroit in general is getting more popular to live in, so as that grows, I think it will help better our business," Buffa said.
