Customers model finished Bespoke handmade suits from THE INDEPENDENT.
ellas, I hate to tell you, but there’s no excuse for dressing like a slob in Little Rock. Whether your preferred style is an old-school three-piece suit and tie or a more fashionforward vibe, there’s a men’s store in Central Arkansas that can clothe you beautifully. A couple of our personal favorites are The Independent and Mr. Wicks Gentleman’s Shop. The Independent, located in Hillcrest on Kavanaugh near SO Restaurant, opened back in September. The store focuses on the young-minded consumer, whether he’s age 18 or 60, who may have an established sense of style or is just beginning to develop that style. The Independent specializes in custom-fit, handmade clothing, a service that’s seeing a resurgence in popularity. Continued on page 54
