TIME STOOD STILL @ J.PRESS, NEW HAVEN










"Classic American Style isn't created in an instant. It takes time. In fact, it takes generations worth of thoughtful refinement and an unwavering commitment to dress men to an Ivy League standard". 

This is the commitment of J.Press, Jacob Press opened his first store in 1902 on the grounds of Yale University, he believed in quality above all else. It's that belief that earned him the esteem of US presidents, scholars and captains of industry. You can find a J.Press in New York, Boston, Washington and still in New Haven, CT. When I visited the store on my last trip it looked like time stood still. Everything breath the spirit of the early days, even the sales staff. This must have been the feeling, when the students bought their first Oxford shirts there, back in the days even before Take Ivy.
