A new clothing store in Hyattsville aims to elevate both men’s and women’s fashion.

Located at 5113 Baltimore Ave., next to Franklins, 1968 Haberdashery features clothes for those that want to shop local, but up their fashion and style for work and leisure.

“We are in a time where people don’t dress up as much, and when they do it is casual or hip hop,” owner Maurice Flythe told the Hyattsville Wire. “We’re striving to bring dress back as the thing to do.”

The Hyattsville shop carries a wide variety of clothing and accessories, including items like a vegan leather jacket and a Chanel sweatsuit, a camouflage puffy jacket and white Oxford shoes for men. Flythe also offers a list of a la carte styling and grooming services including custom tailoring, shoe-shining and repair, closet building and arranging and even offers a personal shopper.

The shop has even attracted the likes of D.C. drummer and street performer Malik Dope who paid a visit over the summer.

After running stores in Maryland and D.C., Flythe said he opened the men’s clothing store in Hyattsville earlier this year because it’s a “quaint and small community” where people could walk to the store if they wanted.

“I saw that there were several clothing stores in Hyattsville, but none were for men — well-dressed men,” he said.

Flythe said he named the store 1968 Haberdashery after the year he was born which he added has a lot of history in itself.
