In a world and time of fast fashion, fads, estranged internet commerce, and poor quality; John Helmer’s is a vestige of a bygone era and a beacon of how things ought to be. The products are all of the highest quality and the service is gracious and expert. The prices are more than fair.
The shop is a reflection of the staff and Mr. Helmer himself — beautifully dressed, impeccably tasteful, genuinely graceful, kind and warm without a trace of stodginess or arrogance. The clothes are a connoisseur’s delight — well cut from fine fabrics, responsibly sourced, both fashionable and timeless.
I could not recommend John’s more highly for shirts, suits, jackets, woolens, hats, etc. The difference in the entire experience — from browsing to shopping, measuring, and proudly wearing — is palpable. I don’t think I’ll ever buy another suit or sport coat anywhere else.
