Hiding behind the busy intersection of Piedmont and Peachtree in Tower Place, Guffey’s is a true Southern haberdashery for gentlemen seeking classic threads and formal accessories. The salesmen are warm and welcoming, boasting an old-school philosophy of getting to know the client rather than immediately pouncing to sell. And the selection fits this mentality: Oxxford suits sit next to Robert Talbott shirts and R. Hanauer ties, while accessories like shaving soap and pocket squares further solidifies their high quality inventory. Those looking for custom clothes should look no further than in-house tailor, Jose Silva, named “Best Tailor in Atlanta,” in Esquire Magazine’s “Big Black Book.” While this is very much a textbook gentleman’s store, the younger shopper might feel excluded in both price and selection.
