The new Brooklyn address for dapper dressers
In an effort to bring bespoke tailoring to a broader audience Brooklyn Tailors will open their first official retail space this Saturday, 30 July 2011. Previewing their airy new digs earlier this month, it’s clear that the Grand Street location (in the ever-growing Brooklyn neighborhood of South Williamsburg) signals a promising direction for the label and independent fashion as a whole. The move from their Clinton Hill appointment-only studio combines retail space and HQ for the design pair and their expanding team.
With the opening, Brooklyn Tailors’ now has a designated space for custom fitting appointments, as well as sales of their off-the-rack duds. The shop’s interior conveys the same clean and contemporary aesthetic that defines their handmade garments. Simple white shelving displays neatly folded “Standard” button-downs and the newly-released washed cotton “BKT30” pants—both available as ready-to-wear and custom—while suiting hangs within arm’s reach for quick pairing reference.
Offering nearly a thousand different premium fabrics—from subdued Japanese oxford cloths to more boisterous Indian patterns—the sartorial choices are seemingly endless. If bespoke is too daunting, the shop also keeps a well-stocked supply of readymade shirts and pants for sale on the spot, all in their standard slim fit and made with the same care and attention for which they are known.
Keep an eye on their site for to-be-announced shop details and general hours of operation. For a closer look at the new shop take a peek at the

Handpicked Americana style for the home now available online
ByKenyan‘s Kenyan Lewis has more than an exceptional eye for antiques. Together with his partner Grace Kelsey, the two live and breathe the Americana lifestyle—from their beautifully rustic home and interior design projects to prop styling and selection of collector’s items discerningly sourced from around the U.S. For those looking for a dose of their style, you no longer have to be a ByKenyan client to achieve it. An assortment of these one-off rare finds now sell online from Gargyle, along with a forthcoming video series featuring the handsome twosome as they “shop for the goods.”
Products currently up for purchase span a 1920s oil field workers’ tape-measure divided into 10ths, glass apothecary vessels, a Russian “Amepnka” (America) letterpress stamp and 1940s Marx dump trucks—which you maybe have seen on display at our ByKenyan-designed holiday pop-up shop for the Gap last year.
The Gargyle selection will rotate monthly, but for those who don’t want to wait to see what’s up next, ByKenyan also offers a personalized furniture shopping and home merchandising services. To see where Kenyan and Grace find some of their classic decor, tune into the upcoming episode of HGTV’s “My Favorite Place” which will air 30 July 2011 at 6pm.
