Eljo's in Charlottesville, VA

I have no idea how many B&B members might be near Charlottesville, VA, or passing through there, but a long-time traditional men's store there, Eljo's, is going out of business and/or trying to get someone to take over the business.

Everything in the store is on sale for 30-50% off. They are not doing any internet, phone, whatever order. I was down there this weekend. I would have thought from their website's description of what is going on and the timing that their stock would have been highly depleted and thoroughly picked over by now. But that was not the case at all. They have lots of great stuff left at very good prices. Really looked like a full stock of things to me.

So if you like the kind of traditional men's clothes I like it is probably worth stopping in.

It might even be worth a pretty good drive. Eljo's is a treasure and Thurston and Miles are wonderful keepers of tradition.
 
I've been meaning to get to Crutchfield store out there; might have to add an Eljo's trip. I believe they carry some of the Royall Lyme Bermuda line of fragrances.

they do seem to carry Royal Lyme.

Thurston and Myles are treasures. I am bereft at the potential loss of this store!
