Philadelphia men’s fashion landmark maintains its classic and refined sensibility while adding contemporary men’s and women’s styles. It may be a relic from a more elegant era but 70-year-old Boyds remains as au courant and relevant as ever. This multi-tiered haberdasher that boasts grand staircases, columns and marble as far as the eye can see is still the favored designer clothier for fashionable politicians, news anchors, business leaders and socialites, especially since it expanded its traditional offerings of men’s professional and dress clothes to include a 10,000 square-foot women’s…

Great selection of upper-end men's clothing!
by randallsclark at Citysearch
One of the nicest men's stores I've come across in my travels. Very attentive and helpful sales staff as well. I would recommend but bring your high limit charge card.
- Pros: Great selection of fine men's clothing. On-site tailoring and fast!
- Cons: You pay for quality.

Great Men's Selection and B3 Boutique!
by star264nyc at Citysearch
I have shopped at Boyds for men's gifts for the past few years. I have always been extremely happy with their selection and my gift receivers have always been ecstatic with their gifts. The employees have also always been friendly and very helpful. I recently stopped in for a birthday gift for my boyfriend, and I stumbled upon their new boutique, B3. I loved it! The whole store was so modern and I found great clothes for myself that I could not find anywhere else in Philadelphia. After shopping, I treated myself to a lunch at their Brasserie Perrier Cafe. I would HIGHLY reccommend Boyds' customer servce and selection to any Philadelphia resident or visitor.

Great Selection, Excellent Customer Service
by kevinb2 at Citysearch
I've shopped at Boyds a few times and have had nothing but positive experiences. I've bought a few suits and dress shirts - they were perfectly tailored. Additionally, the 3rd floor now has younger, hipper clothing, which is priced comparatively to what other retailers would charge for the same clothing. Plus, there's a cafe and Govberg Jewelers under the same roof - what's not to like?

I was pleased to find a great suit at this Center City Store for men, and when I picked up my alterations, they were impeccably done. I would recommend this men's store to anyone, and although it was a little pricey, I got what I was looking for.
- Pros: good selection, good alterations, nice service
- Cons: expensive

In our Backyard
by mrubin at Citysearch
One of the country's best men'swear stores right here in Phioladelphia. Yes it might be more expensive than the outlets or discount men's stores; I feel there is terrific value shopping here- especially when you factor in the free alterations and promotions that occur throughout the year. As with most things in life, you get what you pay for! --Quality, service and selection. I also made the mistake of taking my wife and now it's one of her favorites as well.
- Pros: Value, Quality, Service
- Cons: intimidating at first
