Sixteen Tons, now open in Hampden, carries stylish, affordable, classic-but-unfussy clothes for men, pretty much what its neighbor Doubledutch does for women. The reason is simple— the owners are husband and wife. After Daniel Wylie got slews of “why can’t you do Doubledutch for guys?” comments, he opened his men’s apparel store in a small but elegant shop on The Avenue to offer “something between the mall and Jos. A. Bank.” On a mission to “rid the world of baggy pants and hoodies” (amen to that, brother), Daniel’s emphasis is on quality and fabulous fit at an affordable price, carrying lines such as Pendleton, Farah Vintage, Penfield and Revolution Now. Get a head start on spring with Naked & Famous jeans (made with amazing Japanese raw denim) and a Revolution Now cardi. Don’t miss: Savvy snagged some of the brightly checkered M82 button downs from George McCracken for her honey. Enough with dreary winter looks, time for color again! 1100 W. 36th St., 410-554-0101
