Theodore 1922

A third-generation clothier, David Petrash is betting his grandfather’s good name (Theodore, born in 1922) that the boho, book-loving Annex crowd is ready for a luxury menswear store. Open since March 2007, Petrash’s space, formerly the legendary Longhouse book shop, stocks only the best in men’s fashion. For lovers of the Swedish line Eton, there’s an Eton shop within the shop selling suits and exquisite Egyptian cotton shirts. But localistas opt for Petrash’s own custom suits ($1,500–$7,000), which are made with traditional fabrics in contemporary designs: short jacket, high armholes, narrow lapel, soft shoulders. There’s also an good selection of overcoats ($750–$4,000).
