Best store for men's clothing

Where else but Boston can you browse ties and sport coats in a century-old building that originally housed a museum of natural history? The dinosaurs are long gone, but for more than a decade this is where Boston clothing institution Louis Boston has stocked its floors with the finest and freshest in fashion. (And Louis itself goes back much further - it's been doing shirts, slacks, sweaters, and more for three-quarters of a century.) Start with sportswear on the first floor, and you'll see that even fleece can look cool and classy. Browse the office wear on the second floor for Italian shirts, cashmere sweaters, and silk ties. And if you can pull yourself away to venture to the third floor, you can get fitted for a custom-made Oxxford suit. While you're up there, finish off the look with a new 'do at Salon Mario Russo.

Louis Boston, 234 Berkeley Street, Boston, (617) 262-6100.
