New York Menswear & Tailor

Me and my partner were excited to finally come here as he favours cowboy cut style shirts which are impossibly hard to find in Perth. We had full intentions of purchasing some and walked into the store at around 11am. The owner asked me to put my coffee on the counter which I complied with immediately and apologised if I wasn’t supposed to bring it in, he seemed OK with that. I was looking at all the Elvis memorabilia high up on the walls not touching a thing and my partner was looking at the shirts. The owner refocused his attention to my partner and I believe it was at this moment he realised that my partner had tattoos. He isn’t a threatening looking guy, imagine more like if Seth Cohan had tattoos… He wasn’t wearing a bulky jumper or carrying any sort of bag that might aid in theft. Ironically, if the owner had looked harder he may have realised the tattoo is actually a tribute to Elvis and johnny cash.
In any case in that moment his attitude shifted, he demanded I take my coffee back and rounded the two of us up like cattle and told us to get out because he was closing up. At 11am. I asked if we had done something to upset him and he said no but was clearly agitated. He then stood in the doorway of the store blocking the entrance until we would leave the street. Presumably to stop us going back in because the store was definitely not actually closing.
A blatant and disgusting case of discrimination. I can understand at his age not being able to stay with the times but it is preposterous to sell rockabilly style clothing and have an issue with tattoos. Who on earth are you going to sell it to? We were the only customers in the store, likely the only ones he would have all day and he lost a easy sale… I have no idea how this is a effective business model and why a man wearing a cheap dirty tracksuit could discriminate against us as rough and tumble.
Ruined my morning. One of the few independent retailers left in Perth I would not shed a tear to see it wiped off the face the street by the ALH group or the like.
Shame on you sir.

18 years of my life I’ve never entered this store because i thought it was a seedy/​bikey/​real blokey men’ clothing store. The reason why i went in was to see if they had sold black turtle neck sweaters but i was a year late (shakes head). At first i was like meh… I’ve seen worst but they did have some funky western cowboy shirts BUT! no cowboy boots…
The one thing that had caught my eyes were the western bow tie, i have figuratively lurked through many op shops and other clothing stores to find this certain bow tie but now i have: D. Yeah the prices are quite decent for something that can be hardly found. (my opinion)

New York meets Rivers in a clash to the death.
Okay, I’m not a bloke (shock horror) but I appreciate mens fashion and firmly believe that belts, hats, bags and small sized Ts are fair game! This shop left me conflicted, the window display of belt buckles sucked me in (transformers will never get old) but the $ 20 flanneys, skull Tees and cheap rodeo get up made me want to poke myself in the eye!
Cheap is cheap– but it could be worse. Shop for a laugh, not for real.

Definitely the place to go if you want to dress like Charlie Sheen on a bad day. They’ve got some pretty cool belt buckles though.
