Kai D

My husband HATES to shop for clothes and gets extremely frustrated whenever he tries things on from other stores. On a whim one day while waiting for a movie at the Williamsburg Cinemas we walked into Kai D. and looked around. My husband, Sean, was instantly taken with the utilitarian yet clean design look of Kai’s clothes. He tried on a pair of pants and the rest is history. We’ve probably spent close to a grand at this store but everything we’ve ever bought has been worth it. Kai is always there to tailor and make sure things look just right and has been so helpful. This is my husband’s new favorite store and it works really well for me because now I know where all of his future birthday and Christmas presents are coming from.

Wonderful gem of a store located in the heart of Williamsburg. Most of clothes are all made and tailored inside the store. The tailoring, the textures and colors as well as the «attitude» of the clothing is smart, very current yet classic, and impeccably made.
Everything is there from shirts and handmade ties, to beautiful shoulder bags, scarves, t shirts and jeans.
My favorites were the deep Indigo Print dyed shirt
And a Floral/​Camouflage jacket!
The owner himself, Kai, was there to answer all my questions and help with fitting and finding the right looks and sizes for me.
Prices are very reasonable and selection is great, whether it’s a gift you need or to update your own personal look.
A terrific experience!

Boutique vraiment sympa et vendeurs agréables, de bon conseil. Des vêtements, des chaussures, des accessoires (superbes cravates) et des produits cosmétiques (j’ai acheté des huiles pour le rasage notamment, fabriquées à brooklyn, dont je suis très content!).

I’ve bought a few garments from them and I’ll be back for sure. Everything is really well made, and the service is very friendly and hands-​on, but at the same time without feeling any pressure. I love the style of their clothes and the shop (very old world, vintage Americana and vintage British workwear styles), rustic features, complete with funny inspirational quotes plastered around the store. Great store for anyone seeking a kind of old-​world look yet with modern twists.
The owner, Kai, and his partner are super sweet and helpful, always going out of their way to provide a very customized shopping experience. They offer tailoring in addition if something doesn’t fit quite right. I’m also proud to support any local businesses (they design and make all their stuff in a studio in town), and rock some garments that aren’t typical off-​the-​rack shit.
It’s not cheap but I think the prices are fair given the quality and consideration that goes into them. Highly recommended.

Amazing clothing. Have a few jackets, t-​shirts and pants from Kai D. The designs are both unique and timeless. The attitude of the clothing, and the store, is very positive with smart and even inspirational phrases and quotes throughout the store and on a few of the shirts. For my style, it’s one of the best places I’ve found in NYC, LA and London (which I’ve admittedly not spent much time in), and more affordable than the others.

Great shorts and great service! Coming back for more shorts. Would recommend based on friendly accommodating atmosphere and high quality clothes.

I was visiting Brooklyn on vacation. I told my wife I was looking for a pair of brown slacks/​pants for work and just to run around town. It was the end of a long day and we were just trying to kill time before dinner before I stumbled into this store.
Immediately the layout and look of the store attracts me. He hangs some of his pieces up in a wall as if he were laying out pieces on a bed.
Kai came up to me and introduced himself. Very friendly and very helpful in picking out clothes and giving you the lowdown on the details of each piece. Each piece is designed by him and made in New York.
Longer story long, I found the exact pants I was searching for and couldn’t have been happier. I wish I lived in Brooklyn because I would eventually buy everything in the store. Fortunately he has an online store. Thanks Kai!

My favorite store in the area. It’s not hard to find something you like here, and plus Kai and Mon are super friendly.

Just great clothes and style. Kai is so helpful! One of my go to stores when grinds want to shop in Brooklyn.

I just encountered this brand not long ago, and I have to say, finally somebody pays real attention to details! Kai D’s focus and passion on the theme «Made in New York» really pay off on his collection through out the years. They are designed in New York, and made in New York. Love the vintage style, or should I say, «artisan style». The only draw back for me is I can only wear the t-​shirt collection since I’m a 6ft+ big guy. Otherwise, if you want something special and timeless to wear, give it a shot!

I’m a fan. It’s tough to find a solid men’s clothing boutique here in the city. I’ve wandered into some on occasion but find that their styles are too androgynous and concept for my taste. I like durable, understated clothes that appreciates. This store was a great surprise. I discovered it the old fashioned way, walking down the sidewalk, and left with a coat after having searched online and in brick-​and-​mortars for weeks. My coat was made here in New York, and the designer also partners with local charities for the youth, something that jived with my MPA background. I will also add that the clerk that helped me was friendly and helpful, we talked about the lack of good mens boutiques. Prices are above J. Crew, below Ralph Lauren, and I feel the money was well spent. Looking forward to see their future collections.

I love orchard street and Kai D is a great addition to the amazing stores that are on it.
Really unique store with really well made clothing, you can tell alot of time was put into every piece. The stores décor is unlike other, really special and authentic to the lines feel of utilitarian workwear. My boyfriend loved their woven shirts and it doesnt hurt that the staff is very helpful and friendly. If you stop by on fridays you can even catch the designer himself there to help you to pick out pieces!
