Listen up… I might talk fast in store, but when I’m talking, I’ve always got something to say. I love to show our Polar Fleece overshirts to clients, I wear mine all year round, it’s a fluffy button up that I throw over a tee. The quick response I hear often is “it’s a Shacket”. I am quicker to respond, “nope, not a Shacket”. I don’t wear “Shackets,” for one reason, it’s just not my style. Another, a “shacket” is like a lumberjacket college guy cop-out. Not everyone will follow my distinction here, but with 21+ years experience in Mens styling, you can trust me, there is a distinction…So, lemme tell you more about my “Polar Fleece” shirt” – it is the item that everybody touches and everybody loves to wear. Once we develop a little trust, my favorite thing to share is that “Ben Affleck got this” – Those who know, know that I’m giving it to them straight – tourists in our New York stores that’s another thing altogether. They look at me in my shorts and oversized tee and they think I’m some guy giving them a little sales pitch, but what they don’t know – you know. We’ve been styling everyone that matters for 20 years. It’s you who’s reading this, it’s your friend, and it’s every top A-list celebrity. It’s undisputed. It’s a fact and I’ll say it again – if you know, you know. What I’m trying to convey in this is that even a guy who has everything knows when he’s got something great.
Look Ben was rocking this shirt two years ago after the Grammys – I’ll be honest I got excited. The man came into the store, purchased the item and is wearing it. That’s a good look but I’m hype right now that I’m sending out this email to say look how your man who’s got everything keeps going back to the best.
Here we are two years later, he’s putting it on, on Mother’s Day. This is a man of many means, he’s got brands sending him free boxes of “shit”, do you know how much he has in his wardrobe? But what does he choose to wear? Blue&Cream, baby.
Fine Fabrics, quality goods, garments that are Made in New York, by hand. Real knows real. Nice look in the press all week, and it’s a great way to say hello to all of our favorite people and remind you that we’re one week away from our 21st season of Blue&Cream. In the last few years since the pandemic we’ve been designing The Tile Club and we’ve been rolling out all categories of our Men’s Line . After 21 years, you know you’ll see me in store Memorial Day weekend from open to close doing what I love to do most, working with you on the wardrobe items that we’ve been working hard on all year long. If you haven’t made it into Madison Avenue or Bleecker Street this year, even more reason to come visit and say what’s up, catch up and see the fam. Memorial Day Weekend 2024 is coming, another one!
