Legendary, yes! A history that has found fame in Cambridge and Porter Square and now Beacon Hill. And legend has it that JFK supposedly sold his clothes at the Cambridge location at the end of each semester when he was at Harvard.
Keezers was established and named for its founder, Max Keezer, in 1895 in Cambridge, Mass. It started as a men’s clothing store as a co-op for Harvard students to sell their used suits. It became a fixture for buying and selling high quality second-hand and new apparel and outfitting generations of people including Nobel laureates, future presidents, and celebrities. A century and more of a history dedicated to serving all with affordable clothing and accessories for one and all.
Keezers at 125 Charles St. is open seven days a week from 11 a.m.-6 p.m.
