Gian Marco Menswear (517 N. Charles St.; Baltimore, MD 21201-5050 410-347-7974;(
www.gianmarco.org) is a virtual men’s fashion laboratory. By working directly with Italian designers, owners John Massey and Marc Sklar offer Europe's latest styles sometimes years before they hit the elsewhere in America. Nowhere in Baltimore can you find corduroy trousers interwoven with Italian Cashmere for the perfect fit, Jean-Charles Castelbajac sweaters made of cashmere and silk, or pleated neckties with each fold sewn by hand; all painstakingly tailored under the strict auspices of Gian Marco? And the “basics“—suits, shirts, and blazers—are anything but; offered in a more sophisticated choice of colors and cuts than you’ll find elsewhere on the Eastern Seaboard. Italian dress shirts start at $95, ready-to-wear suits, also made in Italy at $695 and a select group of shoes made of fine Italian leathers at $175! They also offer the most unique offerings in custom made shirts and made to measure clothing, all adhering to their rigorous standards of quality tailoring.
