Opening Soon: Gotstyle (2005) from Gotstyle Menswear on Vimeo.
Ever wonder how Gotstyle was born? Watch this Opening Soon episode from 2005, featuring Melissa Austria, and see not only what she gave up to make Gotstyle a reality, but the trouble it took to get the store open.
 Gotstyle dress shirts, $165 Our in-house dress shirts will give you that in-between season pick up that you need – fabrics are light weight enough to wear now, in colors that will take you into the Fall. The fit? Of course they are darted in the back for a trim fit but not so trim that you can’t wear them to work. Priced at $165. |

We have carried Religion off and on since we opened, and now we’re back on since they’ve moved passed the goth and skulls stage to a more sophisticated yet edgy club wear. The must have item for Fall? A midnight blue denim jacket ($185) that you are going to wear day into evening and if you can’t afford THE must have leather jacket by Christian Dior, Religion did an inspired version at 1/4 the price at $575.
After finishing his rookie season with the Colorado Avalanche, Matt Duchene was in the store last week. We put him in four different outfits for his photo shoot with 4th Period Magazine.
Just brought in a great new tee shirt collection that offers graphics of a more civilized nature (as opposed to skulls and tattoos!). Tee Library‘s designs and graphics are inspired from classic, well known literature (Alice in Wonderland, George Orwell’s Animal Farm, and To Kill a Mockingbird – seen above/below), and each tee comes in a box designed to look like a vintage library book – amazing packaging! Various graphic methods are used to make the tees from photos, painting, stamping, digital or drawing and the method that is used for each tee shirt is stamped on the sleeve.
Collect all of them and you’ll look well read, but really you’ll be better dressed! Priced at $85.
Just got back from the trade shows in NYC, starting to buy for next spring. After three trade shows, looking at over 500 different brands in the scorching NY heat, it made for a very long few days. But it is NYC and it’s always fun (and I always seem to go when the shoe sales are at 65% off!). Some things to look forward to for next Spring:
1. Lots of great new short and swimsuit options – finally they are coming out with new designs and details to make shorts more interesting for guys. The swimwear market is also exploding with trimmer styles and hopefully the end of the oversized swim trunks for guys.
2. Cool outerwear – I’m always on the search for new outerwear lines and found the perfect one from Norway, military inspired details, water resistant and a great fit for guys who work out.
3. New suit lines – There is a suit collection out of the UK called Without Prejudice that is starting to take over market share from Boss in the independent stores. They do a true size 41 for those in-between guys, offer working buttonholes with a contrast purple stitch… trying to get some styles in for Fall! Check out their collection on their site.
As for the restaurants and NY bars…stay tuned for the next post.
