no.162. Baltimore Beauties: 16 Tons

BALTIMORE BEAUTIES

I’m starting a new segment featuring my particular favorites amongst baltimore’s offerings.
to get the ball rolling, 16 TONS, where i was just hired.

 ”Timeless Goods for the Modern Gent”, reads the tag line of the one-room shop on Hampden’s “Avenue”. Directly across from the very tasty Golden West (another h. favorite), 16 Tons offers a perfectly curated selection of men’s clothing and accessories. We like the Naked & Famous denim, nice raw selvedge stuff. Lots of lovely Ben Sherman, and a new import of gorgeous pocket squares (my first sale!). Daniel Wylie, the shop’s owner (and incidentally, the husband of Double Dutch owner Lesley) also stocks a variety of vintage shaving accessories and quality facial products for men. The decor is a mix of vintage prints and knick-knacks and showcase of local artists’ work.

I’ll be working on Mondays, just for a change of pace.
Come say hey.
