Otis James, Nashville
Leave the cowboy hats and bolo ties to the tourists. Instead, pick up a hand-stitched wool cap or necktie by Otis James. The tailor takes craftsmanship seriously; even his labels are stamped and painted by hand. Watch him at his studio in Marathon Village, a former auto factory now home to artist spaces, a gallery, and the Corsair whiskey distillery.
1200 Clinton St., Ste. 15, (615) 638-1469.
