The store, which offers menswear, custom suits and tailoring, will offer a downtown retail option as thousands of new apartment units are completed over the next few years.

"Following the shifting center of gravity towards downtown and the growing residential population in the area, the timing was right to re-open Established Bespoke from our previous location in West University Place to The Jones on Main," owner Gary Warfield said in an announcement.

"The downtown workforce is a key customer base and we look forward to continuing to outfit the keenest men in town, head to toe."
