About Westmere
In 1990, we started Westmere for one reason: our family.
James opened a small menswear boutique in New York, not to get rich, but to build something real. Something our children could be proud of. Something that would last.
Then COVID hit. The store went silent overnight. James taught himself to sell online, just to survive. For months, nobody came. In 2024 we almost lost everything we had built over thirty-five years.
But you showed up.
Every piece in our menswear collection is chosen by James personally. Not by an algorithm. Not by a buying committee. By a man who was sewing clothes by hand to keep his family together.
We started Westmere for our family. We keep it going for yours.
— James & Emily, Westmere New York
