Our Story

For over 103 years, Charles X Block has been a landmark in downtown Tamaqua — known for classic and fashionable men’s clothing, accessories, and exceptional customer service. As we celebrate this incredible legacy, we are transitioning into retirement and shifting our business online, continuing to serve our loyal customers in a new way while honoring the tradition we’ve built.

Our service is what sets us apart. From same-day tailoring to free alterations with any purchase, we take care of every detail so you look and feel your best. We offer shoe, zipper, and leather repair, dry cleaning, boutique ordering and private styling, tuxedo rentals and formalwear fittings, custom embroidery, special orders — and yes, we still offer a glass of wine to make your experience feel like home.
