Astor and Black Charlotte Show Room Grand Opening

My good friend David Watkins (pictured at Right) of Astor & Black Custom Clothiers is opening a show room inside Emerson Joseph men's grooming lounge, at their Uptown Charlotte location. The Address is 221 S. Tryon Street, and David is having a Grand Opening celebration this Wednesday evening, September 16. The event will run from 5:30 to 8:30 PM, and will allow you to see the quality of the product first hand and meet David, all while sampling fine libations from Jack Daniels Brands.

I have written a couple of posts concerning my experiences with David's work (one such suit I am pictured wearing at Left), but I'll recap for those of you who may have missed out.

Astor & Black provides custom made clothing tailored with the finest fabrics available at off the rack prices. Garments are completely hand tailored and all jackets are fully canvassed. Incredible attention is paid to every detail and finish. Clients choose from hundreds of suit fabrics from some of the finest mills in the world. All Astor & Black suits are tailored with standard features such as surgeon cuffs (functioning buttonholes), hand picked stitching and more. Every garment is tailored to your exact specifications and personal taste with unlimited styles and options.

All shirts are tailored with the finest cottons. Choose from hundreds of fabrics, thirty-one collar, fourteen cuff and eight pocket styles. Also, a choice of twenty-four monogram styles comes standard with every shirt order.
