Custom Clothes Worthy of an Oscar Host
You like to surround yourself with people in the know.
It’s why you have Pat LaFrieda at all your barbecues.
It’s why you keep a meteorologist on personal retainer.
And it’s why you’ll turn your wardrobe over to the same upstart pair of twins who’re outfitting James
Franco for an upcoming role.
No, not
127 More Hours.
Meet
Ovadia & Sons, a new custom clothing shop where siblings Ariel and Shimon can make, obtain or
cuff anything you desire, open now.
The duo’s well-versed in the fine art of seeking, so you’ll want to commission them for a
Raiders of
the Lost Ark–style exotic adventure of self-discovery, danger and fabric sourcing. Mostly fabric
sourcing.
In their store, you’ll be presented with a
constantly evolving stock of wares available nowhere else in the city. Rakish windowpane suits (for
maintaining your air of mystery), plaid oxfords (for après-ski cocktailing) and cashmere scarves (vital for
protecting your yodeling voice).
But should you come up with a wardrobe request so unusual, so ahead-of-its-time that they can’t pull it
directly off the rack (say, formal galoshes), the two will embark on an international expedition to find the
tuxedo-ready snowshoes you require.
Or just ask for the Full Franco.
