Benjamin Barker at Takashimaya Shopping Centre redefines menswear retail as a curated lifestyle experience for the discerning gentleman. Located at #B2-04 in Ngee Ann City, this Singaporean label focuses on relaxed classic designs that combine form and function with artisanal distinction, creating a space that feels more like a sophisticated hotel lobby than a traditional clothing store.
The brand positions itself as a purveyor of smart-casual, heritage-inspired apparel that bridges the gap between formal and casual dressing. Collections include suits, shirts, trousers, shoes, bags, and accessories that reflect timeless elegance rather than fleeting trends. The Takashimaya store is notably designed as a "fictional hotel lobby" where customers are encouraged to hang out, discover art, and experience the brand's aesthetic vision beyond mere product display.
What sets Benjamin Barker apart is their understanding of the modern Singapore gentleman's needs. The designs respect tropical weather with breathable fabrics and relaxed fits that maintain professional polish. Suit bundles starting from S99 and regular 30% off shoe promotions make quality menswear more attainable, while the brand's local roots (with quality that's "on the pricier side") ensure understanding of Singapore's style context.
Operating daily from 10am to 9:30pm, the store provides a relaxed shopping environment where customers can take time exploring collections without pressure. Beyond Ngee Ann City, Benjamin Barker has expanded to multiple locations across Singapore, cementing its position as a go-to destination for men seeking elevated basics and statement pieces that balance contemporary style with classic sensibilities.

Hesitated to write a review but I felt that others should know what to expect of their poor customer service if you want to buy from this outlet. Went there last december to buy a few Tshirts, so I asked for a bigger size since the one on display was too small. staff said he would serve us after he finished serving the first customer. After serving the first customer, he jumped and helped the customers AFTER us. Disappointing and outrageous, and their attitude towards us was so disrespectful too. On top of that, there were at least THREE staff that were there that saw us trying to purchase something, yet they all turned a blind eye. I wasted 15 precious minutes just waiting for NOTHING. You should send your staff for a proper customer service course. This is so disappointing, you may as well go to wet market to buy clothes with this kind of customer service.

Echoing the other negative reviews here - went to this location to purchase a present and had the worst customer service experience ever. Both of the female staff were unwilling to help, incredibly rude, and seemed like they didn't want any business. If I wasn't pressed for time, I would've definitely not patronised this store.

I visited twice and bought shirts for my boy friend and received unprofessional service from two different female employees. Both times, the staff were unattentive, unprofessional and had no smile. ZERO stars for this Taka store.

The staff here really one of the worst. Obviously the display shirt is not the right size for my husband, but the staff just does not care and said ‘you try first’ - not even bring the larger size.

I had an amazing experience with Gareth ! They were professional, friendly, and truly went above and beyond to help me. They took the time to explain everything in detail and made sure I was completely satisfied. Their expertise and customer service are outstanding! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for Gareth .

Alight at Orchard red MRT line and take a 10 mins walk to Takashimaya. Benjamin Barker is located at basement 2 which you will see when you travel down the escalator or Takashimaya that's located near the level 2 pick up and drop off point.
Benjamin Barker provides affordable fashion that's comfortable for men. Their interior decor of each retail outlet are easily recognizable by how organized, classy and yet simple at the same time. The design of their clothing lines are simple, with the material used in their men's apparel being durable yet smooth and comfortable, similar to how they designed all of their store front.
With plenty of outlets in Singapore, I am impressed with how they have cultivated the attitude of their staff in their outlets. The floor staff were not only helpful but friendly and professional at the same time.
There is an ongoing sale, if there are any considerations to experience and get a feel of their apparel, the best time would be now.

Gareth was an amazing help! He advised me on suit selection, was patient in taking my measurements, and kind with answers to my questions. Great service like his help increase return customers. Thanks, Gareth.
