Bonafide Goods: For the Modern Man

Anthony DeWitt
By

Bonafide Goods is the first micro-haberdashery in Phoenix specializing in Americana and quality men’s clothing. Greg Eveloff, owner, opened the men’s outfitter early this year. They offer Baldwin denim, designer Billy Reid and some killer accessories like San Diego-based Tsovet’s aeronautical themed watches. (Read: You must check out the watches)

Eveloff has been a men’s outfitter for more than 44 years in Phoenix. His newest store came on the advent of the Biltmore Fashon Park’s push to add local stores in its recent retail collective dubbed the Union. “It’s about trying to find different lines not represented,” Eveloff said. “For the guy that wants to be an individual.”

You’ll also find designers like Benson and Arizona-based R&R Surplus. They will carry R & R’s men’s line come this Fall. If you’re visiting Phoenix, or you’re local, and looking for a unique father’s day gift check out our top picks at Bonafide Goods.

  1. Tsovet Watches: The San Diego-based watchmaker models its lines after the aeronautical gear in the cockpit to make truly sharp accessory for the modern man. They are manufactured in Switzerland and are priced from $350 up.
  2. Billy Reid: One of the few places in Phoenix you can pick up the Alabama-based designer. If you’re looking for pure Americana and good quality look no further. Prices vary.
  3. Baldwin: Kansas City-based denim maker and my personal go-to. Bonafide carries a hand-selected array of their best denim and some button downs. Ask Sia Segraves the store manager and she can help you choose the best match. Denim will run you about $200 and up.
  4. Barbara Blank Ties and Bowties: Handmade in New York City these ties and bowties are very bold with bright colors and interesting designs. My favorites were the set of wool and knit ties. Prices Vary.
  5. Will Leather Goods: They carry the mother of all messenger bags and backpack that looks like it was stolen right off Jack Kerouac’s back. The Oregon-based leather maker creates high-quality leather bags and accessories. $200 and up.

The IWC Portugieser collection

The collection throws it back to the Portugieser of the 1930s, where the design got its first inspiration from those gorgeous navigational watches on the deck of a ship. Keep that nautical theme in your head because each piece in the collection has celestial details as the star.

This new Cartier watch tells time backwards
Turn back time with the new Santos
Cartier Rewind on wrist

Wristwatches may be distinctly masculine pieces of hardware now, thanks to some very popular people in pop culture and in our own history adopting them. British super spy James Bond, movie stars, and athletes are the people we look up to who wear watches that catch our eye. Soldiers, cops, firefighters, and first responders wear watches they trust to ensure they can save lives. Pilots and divers created an entire industry around watches specifically designed for their vocations. And the very first pilot's watch was none other than a Cartier watch.

Alberto Santos-Dumont was a pioneer in the flight world and was one of the first people on Earth to achieve air travel. He was a competitor of the Wright Brothers, and, depending on the source, he preceded them in flight. In any case, the French celebrity went to Louis Cartier, another pioneer of his craft, and procured a square timekeeper meant for the wrist. The Cartier Santos Dumont was born. Over a century later, Cartier attended Watches and Wonders and presented the newest in the line of Santos watches, one that reverses time.
