A storefront with gray siding and white trim displays a hanging sign that reads "THISTLE & OAK men's apparel & gifts" with a thistle and oak leaf illustration. The address number 209 is visible next to the door. Fearrington VillageWe’re thrilled to share that Thistle & Oak, our new men’s apparel and gift shop, is opening this Friday!

Please join us Friday morning at 10:30am for a ribbon cutting with the Chatham Chamber of Commerce as we officially open the doors. To celebrate, BMC Brewing from Pittsboro will be here pouring tastes of our special Fearrington collaboration beers, alongside some of your favorite small bites from The Belted Goat from 10:30-1:30pm

Thistle & Oak blends heritage, craftsmanship, and modern style, curated for the discerning gentleman who values both quality and comfort. You’ll find everyday apparel, accessories, and gifts from an exciting selection of brands—some familiar, others brand new to our market. Over the coming months, we’ll also be hosting trunk shows with designers and vendors, giving you the chance to learn more about these brands and discover their stories.

We’re especially delighted to welcome Clifton Wilson, a designer some of you may remember from Armstrong & Wilson pocket squares once carried at Dovecote. Clifton’s new line features pocket squares, ties, and exquisite scarves, perfect for refining your wardrobe or gifting someone special.

We can’t wait to share Thistle & Oak with you—stop by this Friday and be among the first to explore our new store and its treasures. We hope you will like it as much as we have loved creating it!
