This men's clothing store has been in downtown Youngstown for decades. It's an icon! Owner Barry Silver would say that they "Specialize in hats to shoes and everything in between." I browsed for a good hour one afternoon and still did not see it all -- they truly have stock in all aspects of male attire. It should be noted however, that in the hat section at least, there could be some stylish crossover offerings ...
The store's history reads like this: Barry's uncle was in the business of not buying but liquidating businesses. When he bought Kelly & Cohen 40 years ago, that was his intention. Before he lit the match he offered his brother, sister-in-law, and nephew a chance to go into business. The rest is Silver history.
As in most downtown areas of a city this size in our geography, there used to be department stores and boutiques in competition for the retail dollar. When they closed or beat feet to the suburbs, Silvers remained. Good move for Barry. There were some years leaner than others but Silvers has many things going for it besides location location -- on the corner a block off center square. The selection is vast! There are suits of all styles, sport coats, sports jackets, overcoats, button-down shirts, knits, sweats, sweaters, socks, underwear, ties, scarves, gloves, accessories -- it's all here under one roof. Check it out!
