Chancellor’s: area’s top men’s boutique since Reconstruction

Since 1873, Chancellor’s has excelled at the two things a men’s clothing store must do in order to be the best: selection and service. With 144 years behind the historic shop, the last independent men’s store in Columbus, Chancellor’s is look ahead to another 144 years of stocking the best clothes and accessories and rendering customers the absolutely best in service.

When you visit Chancellor’s and talk to owner Roger M. Stinson, who purchased the business in 2007 after having worked there since 1987, he can tell you all sorts of wild stories. Ask about the store’s roots in a field hospital during the bloodiest battle of the Civil War, or about the time James Edgar Chancellor, then-owner of the shop, rented a baby elephant from a traveling circus and walked it up the stairs into the local bank—and then the elephant refused to descend those same stairs.

In addition to great stories from the store’s history, Roger also keep track of what his customers purchase. Roger get to know his customers, their individual style. This allows him to make recommendations to customers based on their past purchase. This also makes Roger a great resource when buying a gift for the man in your life; tell Roger who you’re shopping for, and he’ll know what they need. And when you’re purchasing a gift, be sure to take advantage of the free gift wrapping. Chancellor’s even offers local delivery.

During December, Roger is offering a formal ware and accessories promotion, as well as an exotic skin products promotion, such as alligator skin belts. Whether shopping for someone special or looking to spruce up your own look, December is the perfect time to visit Columbus’s best, and longest operating, men’s boutique.
