You brought back some happy memories, as I used to hang around Robert Abels shop in the mid 1940's as a callow youth of about 15 years of age. I think Mr. Abels must have been around 40 years old at the time, so that would make him around 100 years old today, so I doubt he is still in business. Anyway, as young as I was, I bought a couple of nice things from him. Another hangout of mine was Abercrombie & Fitch on Fifth Avenue near 42nd St.
