This place is fantastic. It wreaks of ritual and attention to detail. Its like someone raided a flea-market / antique store for the best old-canes, diving suites, old maps and other weird crap. Then with a certain amount of finesse and obsessive compulsiveness mixed in said artifacts with some really really really nice men's clothes. I love surface to air. The staff was about as nice as it gets. Worth the walk if you are bumming around SoHo shopping.

This store is sick. I love the hanging hooks for the clothing, the jewelry cases with the radioactive gloves, not to mention they carry some delicious labels. You can also shop online, bblessing.com.

This is one of those places I would dismiss as pretentious and lame if it weren't for the the fact that they have some of the best menswear selection I have seen, and extremely well edited. Kudos to the buyer. Also, not only do they have some terrific well known designers (Rag & Bone, Raf Simons) they carry some little heard of labels that are really making some interesting and wearable clothing (Endovanera). They also have their own label. Their book and movie collection is pretty spectacular as well and the guy running the place seemed friendly and was very helpful. All in all, this is a place that definitely deserves a visit.

Awesomeness.
So after shopping for four hours in SoHo I had bought only a shirt, poor productivity if you ask me. I was about to give up and head into my hotel (saying at the Rivington) when I decided to see what was nearby on Yelp Mobile. After reading some of the raves about this place I decided it was worth the two block walk just in case.
So glad I hung in there, this store is freaking cool. If you like an edgy urban look, you'll love Bblessing. The store oozes hotness and I went a little crazy blowing far too much money in just moments. I discovered a new brand that I like (Rag & Bone), bought some sweet shoes, and a hot jacket.
The guys working there were laid back and very helpful. Towards the back on the left racks you'll find clothes you can only find there (under their own label). Good stuff.
If you like G-Star, Nice Collective, etc... Bblessing is your Mecca.

Ultra cool Lower East Side institution, Bblessing is one of the best spaces in NYC in my opinion I love the look and lay out of the shop. Bblessing stocks their in house brand as well as Raf by Raf Simons, Surface To Air Paris & Black Label, Opening Ceremony, Rag & Bone, TheCast and more. Bblessing also stocks a great but small selection of cool books as well as their own leather bound date books. Its all about the subtle details in the store that make it a must go to shop.

If you have the money, then this boutique can outfit you from head (paying a visit to your hands and fingers) to toe. Their selection is great, and their in-store brand holds its own among the bigger names, like Raf Simons and Rag & Bone, at a much more reasonable price. They also have shoes here that I have yet to see in another boutique, and I want them desperately....
And I digress. Never have I felt so relaxed while perusing the stock--whether this is an effect of the store's layout, or just a result of their superb employees, I appreciate that there's no pressure to buy-what-you-try-or-get-a-move-on-it-mista-mhmm.

Chic! So chic!
Amazing selection of cutting edge fashion.... surface to air, rag and bone, and bblessing's own line are just a few. Great selection of jewelry and accessories as well.

hands down my favorite boy store. love the videos and books too. If I were rich I'd spend all my money here. Great decor and style. A little dark, but that's the whole theme. Last purchases include a Cronenberg film, Roxie Music CD, leather sneakers and cool tshirt for my man.
"So hip it hurts" sums up this small boutique. Simplistic yet fantastic selection of men's fashion. There are also obscure records, dvds, and an odd volume of Kafka sitting between clothes, which for me is a little much, but who says you can't contemplate the meaning or meaninglessness of existence when shopping for fashion?

This store is clearly on the mark with the current trend in men's fashion. Skinny jeans, slick 80's suits, trenches, pointy shoes, a hidden record store, and great collection of dvd's and accessories. The store is well conceptualized as well. I love the receipt you get- it looks like a small specials menu. Black painted shpopping bag too, all in the details in this place. And nice service. Well done.

Another LES Men's store post-what we knew of the old sketchy dirty LES neighborhood has just opened to offer more choices to that discriminating NYer. A good balance of well known brands you would see at high end department store (Rag and Bone) up and coming designers from Japan, and new pieces and discoveries by the shop owners. The interior feel is a mix of Cloak and Odin. All dark wood, polished racks and vitrines incasing some jewelry pieces. This store also has their own clothing line, t-shirts and hoodies that are of high quality but be prepared to shell more bucks for it. It's a good stop and open 'til 8pm. Oh' there's a hidden record store at the back area, a faux record shelve swings and opens to take you there...very cool!
