J. Press, A Frat House Where Everyone’s Dad Is Rich
March 22, 2019
I recently discovered this article about J. Press buried in the files on my computer. Richard Press sent it to me so long ago he doesn’t even remember it. He says he believes it’s from 1987 and a magazine called Success. Consider it successfully resurrected. — CC
Nice picture of Mr. Press. This would have been at the much-missed store on West 44th next to Brooks. Glad that the company is still offering great traditional clothing on 44th Street 32 years after this article was published. Really amazing to me that sales in the Japanese stores were so much larger than U.S. sales. I wonder if that is still the case.
Wonderful article Christian on this charismatic brand and Richard Press!!
Love the last sentence.
I will drop into the new JPress store when I will be in NYC in May! For sure
I just wore my irreplaceable navy blue thick flannel J. Press suit I bought from Jerry Haber in 1995(?) to court yesterday. It still looks as good as it did 24 years ago.
Go in blind drunk and STILL come out looking respectable. The very essence of it all. Thank the Lord for eBay, which is where everything J. Press I own comes from.
Mr Press I reached out to on Facebook for a Friend Request, Would love a chat with you to remin about FR Tripler, I was a salesman at Tripler 1961 thru 1966, I was in night school and retail hours at Tripler worked out perfect for me. Have so many memories of Tripler was wondering if you knew any of these names as you came later on prior to my tenure. John Dailey pres,,Christopher Bolger VP,,John Hendricks manager,,sales staff in haberdashery,,jim Larkin,Charles Goren,,Ronald Blau,,William Gurry,,Geo Sakell,,Charles Hurley,,EP Costamiers . Thank you Mr Press hop to hear from you

My new favorite picture of Richard.

When you sell timeless American traditional clothing, there is no need to worry about obsolescence. Stay true to the style.
