I’ve shopped at the west village location. While I was looking around, somebody came into the tiny store and asked “How much are the tees?” and the clerk answered, “$40.”
“40 bucks for a tee!” the guy exclaimed and walked out.
I guess a lot of people are not willing to pay more for American-made, quality clothes.
Sure, you can spend less at JCrew or Banana Republic, but is that shirt or sweater going to stretch out and not fit you a month later?

My only criticism about Save Khaki is that it’s very casual. This is pretty much weekend wear if you are over 30. Lots of tees, sweats, ribbed cashmere sweaters ($300 and up), and wrinkled shirts and khakis.
I also didn’t see any clothes for colder weather (except for cashmere hats by the brilliant Meg Cohen), but I visited in November, so maybe there’s something warmer than thin cotton khakis now.
Also maybe Broome St. has a larger variety. I will check them out.

Save Khaki United, or SKU, is all made in the USA. The Broome St. store is comprised mostly of SKU merchandise, which is why all the made in US talk.

The Save Khaki line (no “united”) is made wherever makes sense for the particular garment. Sometimes it’s done to keep costs down (khakis, for example), others because there’s no access to the material–cashmere, for example–or construction technique necessary here in the US.

We do as much as we can in the US, so long as it makes sense.

The Pointer collab looks great. Any idea on when it will arrive in store?

As someone who wears a Band of Outsiders small or xs, I’m really interested in their lines. I’ll definitely check out the store when I’m in the city again.

I just picked up three of their, light weight, button down (1pocket) shirts at Barneys. Immediately I noticed the fit and I bought one in every color they had in stock. The malt and black are really cool. $100 each is fine. The weathered low key fabric is great. Unlike others that have commented, I am 5’9 (shorter side) with a slender athletic build, and man, were these shirts ever designed for my body type. Jcrew and well, really just about every other generic designer just fits some other guy, not sure who that is, but their shirts do not fit me well at all, plus they are just too long if you decide to wear untucked. All a man needs in a few of these save khaki shirts and a few Seize Sur Vingt dress shirts and you have a complete wardrobe for every season..Sadly I’ve had to spend $100′s if not $1000′s of dollars figuring out what designers make the right things for my body type. This is not “hipster” type of gear/fit which is good! You’d be hard pressed these days to find a store in Manhattan that has merchandise like Save Khaki does. Hopefully they don’t tamper with their styles, cuts in the change of season.

Great store. I’m one of the taller customers unfortunately. I’ve tried on a couple pairs and the inseams a bit shy for my taste. Hell of a trouser quality wise though.
