The Onassis (no relation) men's shop in Soho is full of props—of the vintage, seafaring voyager variety—along with clothing suitable for your next rugged adventure, urban or otherwise. The brand aspires to a small-company feel with big, generous gestures like free coffee daily in the store's clubby, Wifi-equipped cafe and free Prosecco on Friday evenings. They give and give, but it's pretty clear they're just getting warmed up.
