Look at one of the first posts of my blog. Cloak store is at 10 greene st.

Thank you for the advice !
Your post is very interesting.

Since I only have 4 days, what would be the top 3 or top 5 ?

You are welcome:

1. Atelier
2. Barneys
3. Cloak flagship
4. IF boutique
5. Jeffrey (not sure worth a visit, but maybe)

Atelier, Cloak, and IF are within walking distance. Dior Homme boutique is walking distance from Barneys. Saks also has a fairly large DH selection (but I'd assume it's cheaper in Paris).

Thank you ! That's very useful. I will definitly go there.
BTW, I used to read your blog you know !

Actualy I mainly wear DH, cause it's so easy to find here in Paris. I have quiet many pieces now in my dressing room.

To give you an idea (it might interest people), usually full retail prices in Dior Boutiques in Paris are as follow :

jeans : from 230€ to 400€
shirts : from 180€ to 270€
t-shirts : from 120€
jackets : from 1000€ to 1600€
suits (2 pieces) : from 1200€ to 2200€
leather jackets : from 1900€ (summer) to 2600 (winter)
shoes : from 350€
ties : from 80€
jewelry : from 200€ (this is the most expensive stuff compared to what you get...)
accessories : belts, wallets (from 200€)
etc...

DH is getting cheaper than it used to be a few years ago. Now you can get a pair of DH jeans nearly the same price as a Diesel !!
Of course this is aproximate prices, That's what I usualy pay (even though I prefer buying during sales period : 30% off...)

But Number9, cloak, Rick Owens are not so easy to find and very expensive here (even more than DH sometimes...). So I guess I'll have a close look at those when in NY.

Maybe due to converting, DH might even be cheaper in NY ?...
