"If you’re not familiar with Ben Silver, suffice it to say that they’re undoubtedly one of the best purveyors of classic menswear on this side of the pond...Unlike a lot of shops who stock a house-label as a lower-price (and lower-quality) alternative to the 'real labels,' Ben Silver gets all their garments from the highest quality manufacturers in the world. Nothing from them is less than top-drawer." Read more...
"Repp stripe ties are arguably the most classic neckwear of all...Reading through the Ben Silver catalog is like reading a beautifully-illustrated history of Britain’s best." Read more...
"Walking into the store is like walking into a gentleman's library. Located on historical King Street, the store's antiques and dark furnishings are adorned with merchandise, begging you to open drawers, look through bookshelves and wander around in exploration." Read more...
"We feel that too often people settle for silver or gold cufflinks that make you look like every other guy in the boardroom. Ben Silver’s Hand Enamel Coin Cufflinks are entirely different than the pack. They’re absolutely stunning and work perfectly with a french cuff shirt. These guys have soul." Read more...
"If Charleston is the Holy City, then the Ben Silver shop is the Holy of Holies...When a gentleman finds himself in Charleston, he should consider this stop a must." Read more...
"Ben Silver just sent out a wonderful catalog for their large selection of regimental ties. Not only are they the only retailer that does that sort of thing anymore, they’re also one of the few companies in the United States that sell true regimentals where the stripes go down in the direction from the left shoulder down to the right across the heart."

Wondering why some guys have the look nailed and others fall short? This shop is the real deal for fine quality, traditional men’s wear. Not to mention, the most fabulous collection of Repp Striped Neckwear to be found anywhere.

Best ties – period. Timeless.

In my opinion, the Ben Silver Catalog is the best traditional menswear catalog in the USA. The quality of every product I’ve ever bought — and I’ve been a customer for years — has been of the highest standard, the taste level accords with my own trad-with-a-bit-of-flair approach to clothes, and the service is first rate…And of course they have the largest collection of British silk regimental, club, and university ties to be found, an unending joy for the true Anglophile.

Your catalogs filled with such beautiful clothing [are] always enjoyed.

Thank you for your latest catalog of authentic British striped ties. I always enjoy reading the brief regimental, college and university histories you include.

One of my favorite stores in the world!

May I express my considerable appreciation for your handsome clothing catalog and the amazing talent of the person who co-ordinates the color and texture of the ensembles found on your pages? Genius!

I've been buying ties from Ben Silver since they started selling ties. I love their selection and as they are in a catalog, I can put the pictures next to my jackets to get a sense of how they will work. As their club ties and striped ties never go out of fashion and as they last forever, they are perfect for me.

I believe this to be one of the best men's stores in the country. The owner Bob Prenner is one of the best dressed gentlemen I have ever come across. There is a marriage of European, British and American style that is nothing short of perfection. The selections from the eye wear, to the sport coats down to the last detail of blending a pocket square with a necktie is nothing short of impeccable. This is the American go to destination for the sartorial resplendent. One of my all time favorites!!
