I mentioned this shirt maker who used to reside in NYC and has now moved to the Island. Someone asked me if I had their new address and phone number, which at the time i did not.



Seewaldt & Bauman
516-379-8724

1741 Petit Avenue
Merrick, NY 11566

The Dad's name is Stanley and the son's name is Eric, of course I always called the Dad, Mr. Seewaldt. I stopped using them in favor of Paris. I should mention, I use Paris over them not because I think Paris is superior but because paris' shirts fits my aesthetic better. Seewaldt's shirts are a nice compliment for a man who considers Paul Stuart or Chipp his style. I own maybe two dozen Seewaldt shirts and theyve stood the test of wear.

However, their shirts are truly custom made and their isnt any self promotion built into their prices which are reasonable and roughly equivalent to Paris Shirts.

Their shirts are well made, a bit more trad, a bit more Kennedy 60s administration. Mr. Seewaldt certainly has some erudite trad tastes. He made me these trad (to my mind) dinner shirts for private, holiday parties. If for some reason I had to stop using Paris, I would definitely use them. Collars are dowdier and not quite as delicate as Paris' are, but it isnt like youre wearing a rag or anything. Smart for the man in the Grey Flannel Suit, if you know what i mean.
