The Challenge

Christopher Schafer Clothier is a custom menswear brand known for exceptional craftsmanship, sharp tailoring, and style that commands attention. With a strong presence in Baltimore, the brand set its sights on expanding into Manhattan—a major move that required a flexible, stylish space to match its reputation. They needed a small, move-in ready space that would serve as a destination showroom for high-end clientele. The lease needed to be short-term to allow flexibility while establishing their presence in the city. On top of that, the space had to feature extra height ceilings to showcase garments in a striking, open environment—true to the brand’s elevated look and feel.

The Solution

The perfect fit was found at 37 West 26th Street, a well-managed property owned by Windsor Management / The Kiamie Family. The space offered soaring ceilings and a ready-to-go showroom layout, ideal for a custom clothier looking to make a bold first impression in Manhattan. The firm secured a 2+ year direct lease, giving them a physical footprint in the city while preserving flexibility as they grow.

The Outcome

Christopher Schafer Clothier now has a chic Manhattan showroom that aligns with its brand image and customer experience. The new space at 37 West 26th Street provides the perfect launchpad for connecting with NYC’s style-conscious clientele, giving the brand a high-impact entrance into one of the world’s fashion capitals.
