In his first foray into retail, he struck gold with his new Old Town men’s boutique, Haberdash, which delivers a modern spin on gentlemen’s clothing shops of yesteryear. . .” Chicago Magazine (October 2005) arena/style “Old School – A men’s clothing store in Old Town takes a classic approach to service and promises to give grown-up guys a hip but decidedly polished new look. ‘Most men want snazzing up,’ says Adam Beltzman, 30, whose long, lean style may be just the inspiration guys need to get it together. A former lawyer, Beltzman channled his affinity for his favorite clothing lines into the ultimate walk-in closet. At a time when every shop owner has a shtick, Haberdash is handsomely straightforward. The in-store plasma screen television is standard fare; not so the warm and woody interior with spacious dressing rooms delineated by tall walnut pivot doors that actually provide privacy. . . Heavy S-hooks suspend jeans in many styles and washes. . .The clothing here separates the men from the boys.

It also stocks sophisticated shirts, ties and pants from Theory, Ted Baker and Duncan Quinn.”
