Any Old Iron rocks with Cool Brittania.
Newish store alert!: The wonderfully-named Any Old Iron, on Orchard Street, at Stanton, in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. If you want to look like a disheveled gentleman of the manor who likes to indulge in more rock-and-roll pursuits (like an evening with absinthe), this is the men’s boutique for you. The shotgun space opened in May. We’re talking tartan everything, great cashmere blazers, scarves of every kind, boss belts. Details, details. Indeed, nearly every piece looks like it is one of a kind and custom-designed for, say, the Libertines, or the Rolling Stones of a certain of-the-manor era. Even Jethro Tull. Check it out. It’s not cheap, but you can find one distinct piece that will make a statement with whatever you wear, and to the ladies, that will be worth it.
