Richard Press will be giving a talk at J. Press’ New York store next Wednesday evening. Listen to the great raconteur spin tales about the Ivy heyday, imbibe a drink, and mix with your fellow trads. I’ll be there with copies of my new mini-book “The Disengage,” for those unfortunate souls who don’t have one yet.
Space is limited, so reserve your spot now by emailing rsvp@paulandwilliams.com. — CC
Looking forward to it!
Would a live-stream be feasible?
If a live-stream isn’t feasible, could the event be filmed/recorded?
So sorry that I will not be able to attend. Like other have suggested, I hope that this will be recorded to view on the web. Should be a great evening.
It would be great to see some footage showing Mr. Press speaking.
I live in Boston, but can’t make it to NYC, unfortunately.
Allow me to express my appreciation of the typography on the invitation at the top. Brings back memories.
@ Boston Bean: Invite by J.PRESS visuals director Andrew Schoomaker inspired by catalogues of yore…look for more of this inspiration when spring creeps near!
I would like to apologize for not being able to attend.
I would love though…
@DCG: Dan, please give my regards to Richard Press and to Christian
Such a pity that Paris is so far away……..
The stories and anecdotes are forever welcome and appreciated, but, as someone who still buys and wears the good stuff, I would want to ask a few “technical” questions. If a more details description of Reefer Twill could be offered (so I can ask Fox Brothers & Co. to replicate, as they do 5 meter short runs), that would be great. Think of it as the trad version of nerding out: why Elliot’s Irish Poplin was superior (or was it?) to Atkinson’s; the differences between the manufacturers of old: Linett, Gordon-Ford (Gordon of Philadelphia), Hertling. And so on.
If I were by the NYC area, I would be there in a heartbeat! Enjoy tonight everyone, can’t wait to see a write-up!
Christian, Daniel and others who were there — Any report on the Richard Press event last night? I know those of us who couldn’t attend would love to see pix, and video if such a thing exists. I am eagerly looking forward to a post.
