Surprised this place only has one review. This place does little, but what it does, it does extremely well. They sell khakis ($100) which seem softer, nicer, and are a better fit (the regular, haven't tried the slim yet, since they were out of my size, and I'm very wary of skinny-tending pants anyway), than your typical JCrew type chinos. More pricey too, but given that it's a very very small boutique, and it's really good, it's understandable. They also sell shirts ($100, nice, but didn't seem like anything unique), hoodies, shorts. Some nice stuff on sale - shorts only $25, shirts $30 - becomes a really great deal. Range of sizes on sale is limited, but if you dig, you might find a gem.
Store itself is a nice atmosphere - 1 room, upstairs and downstairs fitting area is under the stairs behind a curtain - minimalist and irreverent seeming.
Since this place is khaki focused, and the khakis are awesome, that's 5 stars right there. If it sold nothing else, it would still have a niche in my book. I think they have a new location on Broome too, but haven't been.

You'd think this place would've been easier to track down after a full page feature in the May 07 GQ, but it has basically no web presence whatsoever. GQ seemed to think the store was called "Save Khaki" but the sign on the door just says "Save," as does the dude who answers the phone.
Save is basically a pricey boutique store that mostly only sells khaki-like items. They have one fitting area downstairs behind a curtain, and no prices on anything, so it's fairly minimalist. For some reason there were two people working there, but they really didn't need more than one.
Their shorts are all either $90 or $100 which is definitely on the high side for shorts, but they're really nice. I went in intending to buy a pair of traditional khakis, but they only come in one length (seemed to be a 34) and I didn't feel like dealing with getting them altered. I assume they were well over $100.
The selection is pretty well targeted to a small niche, which is good, because you can avoid the "too many choices" paralysis.
Would be nice if they had a website, though.

This is one of my new favourite cotton store in nyc. You can find the softest and most well fitted cotton wears from long sleeve sweaters, boxer briefs, and checkered shirt. Though their claimed specialty is their well fitted slim khaki, but its winter so its not very practical. Though they are damn cute looking, $100 each. A bit pricy for khaki but hey, they look pretty good. $80 for a soft cotton sweater, $50 for a short sleeved shirt (with a pot on the chest). If I have more money prepared I would've spent more on some of their super cute button shirts (usually $120-$150). The guy who works there is really cute too, ahem, and very helpful.

Great khakis. Everything at the store is made from the softest cotton and colored the neutralest of neutrals. You can literally feel the difference.

Crew CEO Mickey Drexler. David was also nominated as one of the best new menswear designers of 2008 by GQ Magazine and the Council of Fashion Designers of America, though he would probably never mention that to you unless asked directly.
