Oyamma 2330 7th Avenue New York, NY 10030-2538 Phone: (212) 234-5128 Fax: (212) 234-5561 info@boyamahomme | Images of Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, and Nat King Cole aptly adorn B. Oyama Homme, a Harlem men's boutique that sells tailor-cut suits; an assortment of shirts; and haberdashery items such as ties, pocket squares, gloves, cuff links, and suspenders. "I love to see a well-dressed man," beams the proprietor, Bernard Oyama. His background, experience, passion, and current location have all converged at quite an opportune time. He concurs: "I didn't plan it, but the timing is perfect." Not only is Harlem enjoying a resurgence, but so is the suit. Oyama is often regaled with stories by older Harlemites of how being well appointed was at one time more than a fashion statement: it was proper etiquette. It was once considered inappropriate for a man to walk the streets without a hat. Oyama intends to be an integral part of once again raising the standard. | | | |
