Forbes 10 Best Clothing Stores For Men - and the winners are:
American Rag, Los Angeles, Calif.
The American Rag "empire" might be best known for its mix of contemporary and vintage fashion or for its extensive denim collection (75 lines including Evisu, J Brand, Diesel and Levi's to name a few), but perhaps the best way to shake off denim double vision is by refueling in the store's adjoining organic Mediterranean cafe.

Bergdorf Goodman, New York, N.Y.
Known best for its club-like, old-school style, Bergdorf Goodman also has something to offer its more downtown-inclined customers. The third floor highlights cutting-edge sportswear from the likes of Alexander McQueen to Dsquared to Thom Browne, but if that's not enough to make you stick around, check out the book and music bar and restaurant that converts to a bar with deejay in the evenings.

Gene Hiller, Sausalito, Calif.
For tech-savvy shoppers who prefer to spend Saturday on the golf course rather than in clothing stores,Tom Gangitano, vice president of Gene Hiller, and his team will sort through your wardrobe (or you can send in photos if you don't live nearby) and create a "digital valet." "We create a look-book of our client's wardrobe so that when he's at home he knows how to coordinate shirts to tie, jackets to pants," says Gangitano. Shoppers have also been known to request a new wardrobe for a specific vacation and spend anywhere from $10,000 to $65,000.

Sebastian's Closet, Dallas, Texas
While the 29-year-old men's and women's store may boast a varied selection of suits, sportswear and denim, the selection of 140 wines by the glass at his wine bar, Mercy, next door is equally impressive. "Most guys just don't enjoy the shopping process whatsoever," says owner Tim Leamy. "So it's great to be able to grab our client's favorite bottle of wine from next door. It always makes them more relaxed."

Lisa Kline Men, Los Angeles, Calif.
The men who shop here ooze that laid back LA style, so it's no wonder that owner Lisa Kline decked out the place with comfortable La-Z-Boys, Nintendo games, plasma TVs and a full bar. "Happy hour is every day," says Lisa Kline District Manager Erin Friel. "It's not unusual for people to come in on a Friday or Saturday morning and ask for a Bloody Mary while they browse the racks."

Cuffs, Chagrin Falls, Ohio
From the outside, the redbrick building looks like a museum, but inside Cuffs is a haven of classic, high-end clothing ranging from Brioni and Kiton suits to Charvet shirts and Barbour outerwear. Add to the mix a selection of luxurious handmade soaps, olive oils from Provence, an impressive collection of wine and champagne, a wine bar, tasting room and adjoining art gallery where owner Rodger Kowall hosts wine tastings, and you might never want to leave.

On The Fly, San Francisco, Calif.
While men can certainly buy basic clothing essentials at this converted warehouse, it's the unusual accessories and luxurious neighbors that really draw men in. Displayed throughout the store are pieces such as a solid gold stapler, a warthog-tusk wine opener and a stuffed Kodak grizzly bear. The store adjoins an exotic-car club, which offers members a cruise around town in a Ferrari F430, an Aston Martin, a Bentley or a Lamborghini, to name a few.

Gorsuch, Aspen, Colo.
After a long day on the slopes, probably the last thing on anyone's mind is shopping. But Gorshuch, an 8,200-square-foot men's and women's clothing store, is anything but your average ski shop, featuring such luxury lines as Brunello Cucinelli, Etro and Roberto Cavalli. There's a coffee bar and an equipment department, and ski and snowboard movies are on constant rotation on plasma screens. "It's the kind of place where people meet and hang out after a day on the mountain," says John.
