Strong Suit is a collection of men’s suits and sport coats tailor-made for the modern young gun.

They are slim-fitting, exhibit quality construction, and most importantly, they are affordable. "Men in their twenties and thirties want high-quality, polished suits, but can't always afford the higher-end ones, which is why Strong Suit is really a pioneer in making suits of exceptional quality at an affordable price," said Tim Ryan, president and CEO of Harleys. Strong Suits have a canvas front within the chest that forms to the wearer’s figure over time, a feature rarely found in suits that cost less than $1,000, Ryan explains.

You may covet those old, worn-in-to-perfection jeans of yours, but now that spring is here in Shorewood and Milwaukee, it's time to try some new denim. Besides, there exists a line of jeans designed to fit your body just the way they're supposed to, right from the first time you try them on. So, really, they're just like your old jeans, but newer (and no fraying at the bottoms). These magical jeans are DL1961's, a New York City-based denim line.

If you need a belt, Harleys in Shorewood recommends W. Kleinberg. They are good looking, take years to wear in, and a lifetime to wear out. They also come in a variety of styles, so whether you are going for subtle panache or strictly sophisticated, we guarantee you will like W. Kleinberg.

I always respect a man who pays attention to his socks. Since socks spend most of their time covered by pant legs, many men think them unworthy of attention. But dress socks are the easiest way to express a mood, and represent a high level of personal care, so when a man flashes some brightly colored or patterned ankle, I silently give him props.

Spring is here (or, on it’s way, at least) in Wisconsin and thus it’s time to have a little more fun with accessories. Two hot accouterments this season are butterfly bowties and pocket puffs, both perfect for adding a little flare to your wardrobe.

Without a doubt, a sad, floppy shirt collar is one of the most annoying things in life. You fuss with it every five minutes—pulling, re-tucking, fluffing—and after a while, it feels like fashion origami. Thankfully however, the men of Shorewood and Milwaukee need not worry about collars that are all sorts of all over the place, because Harleys carries Würkin Stiff power stays.

One of our most beloved brands, by both staff and customers, at Harleys is Ermenegildo Zegna. We have blogged about the Italian luxury fashion more times than is probably healthy, but we’ve done it for good reason. Ermenegildo Zegna (pronounced “air-men-ah-ghill-doe-zen-ya,” in case you were wondering), is one of the 800-pound gorillas of the luxury fashion world, producing everything from exceptional suits and ties to fragrances.

Fashion is notoriously fickle. As designers are locked in an endless race to create the next hottest thing, trends seem to change from one minute to the next (meanwhile, you’re left holding a stack last season’s dress shirts). This is why it’s refreshing to find a designer (or brand) that doesn’t prioritize trends, but rather, making a product that is classic and high quality (ergo, it will never go out of style). One such brand is Circle of Gentlemen, which we proudly carry here at Harleys in Shorewood, Wisconsin.

The mission of the Miami-based clothier, Stone Rose, is to make shirts and sport coats for men who work and play hard, but can’t be bothered with wardrobe changes between the two. There are plenty of men in the Shorewood and Milwaukee area who live by this philosophy, which is why Harleys proudly carries Stone Rose.

Apologies from our digital agency that put the wrong URL on our recent postcard.  Harleys.com/spring should be Harleys4men.com/spring 

Every guy has his favorite jeans (I’m sure a pair readily came to your mind as you read this sentence). So favorite in fact, that he wears them on a regular basis, “regular basis” meaning “all the time because they are the only pair of jeans he owns because he is too stubborn to try another pair."

What do the original Swiss Army Knife and some of the best-constructed men’s sportswear have in common? The same company makes them. Kinda cool, right? Victorinox invented the original Swiss Army Knife in 1884, and has since grown into making exceptional designer menswear, ideal for Shorewood, Wisconsin’s frigid, windy, winters, and cool spring days.
