Inside Haberdash’s New Offshoot
The right tool for the job. That’s all one really needs.
Hence, mustache combs.
But utility does not mean boring.
Hence, tortoiseshell mustache combs.
So we present
Haberdash EDC, focused on upgrading all of life’s little necessities: candles that
smell like ski lodges, shaving cream imported from Italy, wingtip boots and heritage lumberjack shirts—for
your most formal logrolling affairs.
Located a couple doors down from the Haberdash in Tree Studios, this offshoot expands the original’s
inventory of shoes, bags, key chains and badger-hair shaving brushes. Speaking of which, you’ll probably
notice
the barber chair looking into the studio courtyard—soon it will be used for straight-razor
shave events. (Nothing says party like sharp objects and booze.)
Obviously, keep this in mind for last-minute gifts: a coffee-table book of Dennis Hopper photographs, a
surgical-steel-grade cigar cutter, and—boom—Grandma’s done. But mostly this place is for you:
there’s a killer selection of all things wingtipped and/or brogue in the front of the store, and a vast
selection of leather bracelets, wallets, cocktail coasters and dog collars, all from a small Oregon
tannery.
Your dog can be very choosy about what he puts drinks on.
