STAG Going stag has always had a bit of a cool factor to it, but now going STAG might just keep guys from, well, never going stag again. The Austin-based, independent men’s apparel and lifestyle store opened up a Houston outpost next door to Sloan Hall at the corner of Westheimer and Kirby last month. With stores in Dallas and Venice, CA, as well, the precisely edited shop features apparel, accessories, grooming essentials, unique gifts and one-of-a-kind vintage finds. The men’s store is the only one to be featured in the top ten lists of both GQ and Esquire. It seems fitting that the store’s signature rugged yet refined style will be sold out of the old Buffalo Hardware location. Staples like Ralph Lauren RRL, local company Hamilton Shirt Co., Red Wing, Filson, Gitman Bros., Mascot and more will hang stag atop the hardware store’s restored original terrazzo floors from the 1940s. They also kept the original storefront. Going solo never looked so good. www.stagprovisions.com 832.667.8211 | 2614 Westheimer Rd. | [email protected] By Carla Valencia de Martinez Photography by Julie Soefer 58 L O C A L | july 15
