That pic you posted is from that nightmarish 380 Madison store. His current atelier is like night and day: great space out of Donald Draperland. Not mentioned is that longtime Head Fitter Gonzolo Gaete, aka Mr. G, is on-site for tailoring.
Interesting observation Taliesin. Onward had pulled the plug on Jay + Co, he quickly found other backers (who later, also, pulled the rip cord) and J. Press came back to keep the operation afloat. Can only wish him and Mr. G well for keeping a micro presence alive and kicking. Meanwhile, all loyal NYC ready-to-wear customers and staff abandoned.
But Mr Jay Walter dresses Ivy?
I have see pictures of this Gentleman in double breasted and darted two buttons.
Beautiful! Roll in and grab a few suits. Roll out to Nanni on 46th for some fine Italian! Life is good!
Good news

Is this a step towards a new J. Press store in NYC, or is Press going the Chipp/Winston route in the Big Apple?
