Their jackets are a special favorite as the fabrics are top notch and the fit is just about perfect off the rack.
They have classic colors like navy and charcoal but they also have unique ones like olive. Great fit, great quality and worth the investment.
Ledbury Dress Shirts
Ledbury shirts are also one of my wardrobe staples. You can find them in classic cuts and colors like white and blue or go for darker options like black and navy.

5th & Lamar Slim Fit Dress Shirts
Men with smaller or more athletic builds often find that off-the-rack dress shirts are too big in the waist. This results in an ill-fitting shirt that is not very flattering.
If you know a man with a slim build, get him one of 5th & Lamar’s slim fit shirts, and watch him smile when he tries it on. 5th & Lamar are equally known for their sweaters which are just as slim-fitting.
