Baldwin Men’s Shop

Awesome shop. I just wish I could fit in their clothes.
Matt Baldwin definitely designed his line for the skinny hipsters.
I wear size medium in most clothing brands like J. Crew, etc. but the correct size in Baldwin was an XL. That was just weird.
Their denim comes in vanity size so a size 32 measured more like a 36. The rise was way too low for my taste, and though I don’t mind a slim cut, it felt a heck of a lot more skinny than other brands. The one cut with a higher rise still had way too tight of a thigh.
As I said, it was quite evident that Baldwin was designed for the very slim men.
The shop also carries clothes from Saturdays NYC and Shades of Grey, eyeglasses from Moscot, and more.
The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Baldwin makes incredible denim. As a raw denim fiend, Baldwin makes the top of my list of denim designers. Recently I emailed
Baldwin about an issue with a fraying button hole (I don’t live locally and had purchased the jeans on line). They immediately offered to repair it for me.
An American company making great denim here in the USA and backing it up with old school customer service. You won’t regret spending your money with these guys.

The staff at this store is absolutely amazing. Always kind, friendly and helpful. I don’t purchase for myself, but my fiancé swears by this store and Baldwin jeans. Pricey, but well worth the splurge!

Baldwin Denim is awesome. I can’t attest to the quality of the store itself, but I’m sure it’s absolutely fantastic if their online customer service is of any indicator.
Aaron Olla is an amazing service rep, and I hope that Baldwin gets to keep him forever. I had about a million questions about raw denim (my first foray into raw denim! No idea what I’m doing). He was patient with all of my inquiries, responded in a timely manner, shipped everything on time (three times, in fact).
Waiting for my pair of jeans that will hopefully work out. And even if they don’t, I will totally recommend the bajeezus out of them because they are that awesome and everyone should know about them.

Service is an act of helpful activity.
I have been thinking about visiting this store for a while. I love denim and appreciate the detail and quality that goes into a pair of quality jeans. Jeans tell a story as they age and become part of ones life and part of ones style and comfort. With that said I have spent thousands of dollars on denim through the years. The one thing all my premium denim purchases have had in common was the fun of trying things on in the store and the service I received. All I expect is basic help, knowledge and to feel welcome. I entered the Baldwin store on NYE day ready to purchase a couple pair of jeans if I liked the product. There were no customers in the store and my first impression was good. The store looked like it had great clothes and was well put together. There was even a great urban bamboo bike sitting in the front of the store that caught my eye built up really nice with a black leather Brooks Saddle. I noticed this first thing since I ride my bike almost daily and own 8 high end bikes but that’s another story. As I entered the store no one said hello so I walked directly to the bike and asked about the bike just to strike up a conversation. The guy working said it was a bike purchased that the proceeds went to a charity of some kind which was all good. I thought at this point he might ask what brought me into the store today but I got nothing. So I looked around for 5 minutes or so on my own and finally I looked back up at the counter and saw both employees talking to a couple that had just walked into the store about what their night plans were. This would be totally fine if they had FIRST asked the ONLY customer in the store if he needed help. One of them looked over at me as I just stood there and said nothing. Finally I had enough and walked out. As I was leaving one of the guys said «Thanks Man» I said nothing back and thought «Really» Thanks man for what? Thanks man for coming in so I didn’t have to help you spend $ 500 on jeans? I had to laugh to myself and keep on walking. I must have offended them with my Nudie Jeans, Frye Boots, Shipley & Halmos shirt, Rag and Bone sweater and Ralph Lauren Black Label down jacket I was wearing all of which were purchased locally at Hall’s where the service was absolutely fantastic. I would rather buy jeans at Wal-​Mart than buy in a store with employees that think they are too good to help you or just make you feel not welcome. It is an absolute insult and a joke especially in Overland Park Kansas. Your in Kansas boys not NYC just thought I would remind you.

Move over Alec! I don’t care how funny you are on 30 Rock, I’ve got a new favorite Baldwin. His name is Matt, and he designs some of the best denim I’ve ever had the pleasure of wearing. On top of that, he is one of the most influential people in KC in terms of bringing quality fashion to the city. Plus, he’s a heck of a nice guy to boot.
But this review shouldn’t be about my bro-​crush on Matt Baldwin, let’s talk about the store! Baldwin is a fantastic men’s boutique that carries a mix of their house brand and other very high quality wares. The aesthetic is classic and casual, and really reflects the Midwestern roots of the brand. These clothes could carry you from a weekend BBQ to a night on the town. Of course, I would never wear clothes this expensive to a BBQ, because I am messy.
Which brings me to a point that certainly needs to be addressed: These clothes are definitely not inexpensive. I would say that a good number of people (myself included) are generally priced out, unless you feel like abusing a credit card or treating yourself for doing a good deed. For me, that’d have to be one heck of a good deed, like diffusing a bomb or performing CPR on Sam Brownback. Point is, these are premium designs that come at a premium price.
That being said, I can’t support this store or brand enough. They’re getting all sorts of attention from the fashion world and hopefully some of that is transferring to KC in general. They’re definitely at the top of the Totem Pole, a position they greatly deserve.

The one stop shop for all things distinguished male in KC bar none.
What are you looking for? Arguably the finest denim produced today? Local goods? Classic looks? Custom fit pant (s)? A beer? Advice on all things man? Good tunes?
The list of things you can find at Baldwin Denim is almost endless, and although there is a perceived air of exclusivity, there is something for almost any man within those walls.
If you’ve read the other reviews, what can I say that hasn’t already been said? Just one man’s opinion. If you care about how you look, and you’re shopping anywhere else in KC, you’re giving someone else the upper hand. The guys are great, and are so much more than retail clothier employees. They’re brand owners and ambassadors. Baldwin is also one of the finest national accomplishments KC has seen nationally in this decade.
What are you waiting for?

This men’s store could easily be found in L. A, Chicago or NYC. But, this is an awesome men’s boutique store found in the middle of the suburbs of Kansas. I hope they find themselves down in the Plaza or the Crossroads soon, because that is where they belong. The merchandise is well made men’s ware, everything from casual to dressy. The price range is on the higher end but the shirt and pair of jeans, both with the Baldwin label that I bought seem to have a matching quality to them. The sales help was very good, but I was the only person in the store. I hope people find there way to this store in the burbs to keep them around and make it an asset to Kansas City.

Kansas City has always been on the short-​end of the stick when it comes to men’s clothing, but not anymore, Baldwin Men’s Shop is here and is about the most handsome men’s boutique around.
This store doesn’t talk down to men. It seems to value the best in style and the best in utilitarian wear. They are the masculine brother to the more feminine Standard Style sister store. The store features product with *made in Kansas City, MO* labels which is so super cool to see. Denim reigns king here and they design and make their own Baldwin denim line. Along with some beautiful flannel shirts sporting their own label too. They have a duck canvas pant that needs to find its way into my closet really soon. It seems like much of the product found in the store is cut and sewn in the USA. Not everything is rugged here, there are some gorgeous sports coats, outerware, hats, shirts and shoes throughout. They feature some of the most handsome bags and accessories around by Jack Spade and the men’s face and hair line of Baxter.
You are not going to find low priced clothing here, but you are going to find well made product that will last a very long time and is worth the money you pay for it. The customer service was top notch when I visited the store. The gentleman was nice, informative and attentive.
The back of the store has a walk thru that connects you to their Standard Style store. I didn’t look at the women’s line but can say that the beautiful wave ceiling is worth the look. Gorgeous and stylish just like the stores themselves.
The only downside for me is the damn location. It’s out south. I hope they bring their Baldwin concept to the Plaza/​Westport location too. The store screams «urban», but maybe that’s just me and some wishful thinking. Either way, I am happy that they are somewhere in my city.

I have been to this store a couple of times since moving to Kansas City. I am blown away by the personable staff each time. Makes me want to go in and just hang out with them. They know their stuff, especially about denim.
I originally thought I was too fat for their jeans. I finally tried a pair on yesterday and walked out of the store a new owner of a pair of Reed jeans. They hem them on the spot and the construction of their denim is out of this world.
I found a lot of things I wanted to buy, but after dropping $ 200 on a pair of jeans (well worth it!) I couldn’t afford the $ 900 topcoat I really wanted. Oh well, that’s what savings accounts are for.
I’ve made a vow to go to this store once a month to buy something and be inspired to dress cool.
