OCTOBER 6 – 13
Ken’s Custom Week
Save 15% on everything from sportswear to outerwear.
If you’ve been thinking about going custom, this is the week. October 6–13, save 15% on Ken’s Silver Label custom formalwear, suits, sport coats, shirts, and sportswear.
Our Silver Label goes well beyond basic made-to-measure, with more extensive customization for a near-bespoke fit. You’ll choose from exceptional European fabrics, custom linings, lapel styles, buttonholes, and other details, with handcrafted elements and canvas construction where applicable.
And custom doesn’t stop at suits. We can create everything from tuxedos and sport coats to shirts, polos, sweaters, casual pants, and even outerwear. I’ll help you put together pieces that fit your life and work with what you already own.
Appointments are required for custom clothing, so I recommend contacting your haberdasher as soon as possible.
BRAND NEW IN THE SHOP
Emanuel Berg Business-Collar Polos
The ease of a polo, the presence of a dress shirt.
Brand new Emanuel Berg just arrived, and I know you’re going to love it. I affectionately refer to these as long-sleeve, business-collar polos. They give you the comfort and ease of a polo with a proper collar that holds its own under a jacket. They come in four basic colors that are easy to pair with pants you already own.
We also brought in a herringbone-weave version of the same polo. These have the look of fall with the feel for Dallas, meaning rich texture without the weight. It’s the perfect long-sleeve for our climate.
With limited availability, I recommend you come in sooner than later. While you’re here, I’ll show you how to style them for weekends and work.
ARE YOU READY FOR OCTOBER 17?
Cattle Baron’s Ball
The Cattle Baron’s Ball is on October 17, and it’s one of the great nights in Dallas. If you’re going, we have everything you need to look right without losing an ounce of comfort. We’ve got our Tecovas boots in the shop, ready to carry you from the parking lot to the dance floor.
Pair them with our Teleria Zed or Fidelity jeans in a bootcut finish, cut to sit perfectly over a boot, and top it off with a shirt jacket with a snap front. It’s an easy, handsome look that reads Texas without trying too hard. Come see us before the 17th and we’ll put the whole thing together for you.
COMMUNITY EFFORT OF THE MONTH
A Morning with the Young Men’s Service League
This month I had the pleasure of meeting with the Young Men’s Service League, or YMSL as it’s known around here. I sat down with more than 25 freshman students from private schools all over Dallas to talk about something close to my heart: dressing for success.
We covered a lot of ground. I showed them how to tie a tie with a proper dimple, we talked etiquette for homecoming and prom, and we got into the details of carrying yourself well when it counts. These are the lessons that stick with a young man for the rest of his life, and it was a joy to pass them along.
Service and community aren’t a slogan for us. They’re the whole point.
Watching these young gentlemen take it all in reminded me exactly why we do what we do. Our thanks to the YMSL for letting us be a small part of their journey.
We have lots of exciting happenings in the shop over the next few months, so be sure to look out for our emails. Thanks for being a part of the Ken’s community.
🙏🏻💜 Kory Helfman
