This high-end store sells the uniform of Hollywood hot-listers.

John Knoedler left corporate America to open his own lifestyle store—and his risk is LA's gain. Located on La Brea Avenue near American Rag, J. Ransom appeals to the guy who plays poker every Tuesday and his girlfriend that gets pedicures with him every Wednesday. Ladies can find the same True Religion jeans Jessica Simpson wears (instead of her own brand of jeans), Oliver Peoples sunglasses donned by Angelina Jolie and Morphine Generation tops seen on the happily tiny-breasted Paris Hilton. Guys can style-and-profile like Kiefer Sutherland and David Schwimmer, both of whom have shopped at the store, and wear Kings of Glory T-shirts as seen on Jeremy Piven. J. Ransom's official website facilitates our celebrity-obsession by listing what stars are sporting brands currently in stock, following the formula of celeb-shopping havens Shop Intuition and Kitson. The store itself has mahogany shelves, concrete floors and stainless steel shelves but is softened by the animal-print rugs, leather couch and ornately carved wooden bed frame complete with mattress. However, there's no fooling around in this store—although the store does sell package-flattering Adam + Eve boxer briefs.—Mai Dinh

I love this store! J.Ransom's owner John Knoedler is a treat to shop with and with label's like Cosa Nostra designer Jeffery Sebelia....What more can you ask for? I think it is the number one men's clothing store in Los Angeles.
