Styleforum and A&H present "The Proper Kit" Trunk show in NYC, Nov 7 2015

[LA Guy]

Looks like it's going to be awesome. If Expedia starts offering a free flight+hotel special, I'll be there.

I did the travel reservations for Jasper (I will work him like a rented mule) and myself (unfortunately, also will be worked like a rented mule). I've seen combo deals as low as $650 from the West Coast, but anything under that, make sure to sleep on the luggage with a weapon at hand.

I won't be able to attend as I'll be at a friend's wedding, but our New York shop manager, Aaron (@mack11211 ), will be showing our wares.

 

[Ken P]

Probably will make it down for this. Will formally RSVP when I know for sure.

Are broke 19 year old college students allowed in this event? Also how is everything set up? Will they be stock clothing the brands will sell or is everything going to be customized?

 

[Bam!ChairDance]

Ok, if one of you NYC folk is willing to let me sleep on your couch on Nov 6, the chances of me doing this thing will reach 50%

Everyone is allowed to the event. Of course, alcoholic beverages will be for over 21 set only, but there will be plenty of food and non-alcoholic beverages as well. Some of the brands will bring some things for cash&carry, but many of them will be primarily measuring and taking MTO/MTM/bespoke orders. I think that we'll have things that range from affordable to "time for that second mortgage".

Cheers,

Fok.

Can I be the annoying friendly guy for a second and encourage everyone to come, regardless of age or net worth?

One of the things that A&H brought up on the phone the other day was how our "world" (however you define it) is really pretty small. It's fun to meet people who share some of the same strange interests. Plus, even if you can't buy anything, you still have the chance to see some beautiful clothes and hang out with some great people at the same time, and that's not a chance you get everyday.

Anyway, don't be shy.

+1 I went last year with no intention of buying anything and it was a great time to hang out and meet fellow enthusiasts.

Speaking of, @nahneun I better not miss you this year. I will bribe you with some VT IPAs to show up.

I went last year and pretty much forgot to even look at stuff (or eat solid food, for that matter); I just drank beer and scotch the whole time and tried to stay out of Fok's direct reach in case he decided to start putting people in MMA submission holds.

We had beer?

Also, it's jiujitsu. MMA is just the umbrella sport. Just sayin'.

But, I mean, you can ALSO buy stuff. That's also encouraged.

 

[Ambulance Chaser]

Any plans for an after-show dinner?

Yeah, there was some Bell's Two-Hearted and maybe some Oberon? It went pretty quickly, though. And I'm not sure why I remember that.

Anyway, if you're taking deposits for the SF x Luxire leather jacket MTO, I might be down for one of those. Just bring a size 38-lanky for me to try on.

Last year's event was a blast, this one looks like it'll be awesome as well

Dragged a buddy along with me last year, and he got a girlfriend out of it

We won't be taking deposits, but we will have some samples that you can try on for size. They will be more like a fitted 40R (my size, but fitted on me). but we can get your sorted from that. If you are size or half a size down, it's easily enough to extrapolate. I have a feeling you'll be a 40 in this jacket, maybe a 38, but with the waist and chest taken in a touch.

We will also have the Rider Boot samples there. Oh wait, that's not public knowledge yet...
