After months of speculation and conjecture, the Armoury officially announced the opening of their new Tribeca location here in New York City on December 10th. More importantly, the Tribeca and Hong Kong locations will be stocking signed first editions (in limited supplies) of The Best Dressed Man In The Room. Many thanks to Jeff Hilliard and Jake Grantham for making it happen. And best of luck here in the Big Apple!
Posted below is the original announcement:
To our dear customers, our friends, and aficionados of classic menswear everywhere:
We are pleased to announce that The Armoury is expanding beyond Hong Kong and opening our first North American location in TriBeCa, New York City.
The store will be soft launching on Tuesday, December 10th, 2013. We will be providing the same shopping experience enjoyed by our Hong Kong customers: stocking products from the same fine makers, taking custom orders for those we represent, and bringing our stable of outstanding craftsmen from around the world to New York for regular trunk shows.
In conjunction with our soft opening, we will be holding our first two trunk shows this December.
- December 12 – 14: Saint Crispin’s - Custom shoes from Austria and Romania
- December 13 – 14: Salvatore Ambrosi – Bespoke trousers made in Naples
During this soft launch period, we will be fully operational, though there may be the occasional hammering as we put the finishing touches on our shop. We request your patience during this exciting period of growth for our company.
For those unaware of who we are or what we do, The Armoury is a Hong Kong-based classic menswear retailer, offering artisanal products from around the world that fit into our “International Classic” style. Every season, we strive to showcase a diverse array of products as well as the people behind them: solitary craftsmen, small family businesses, and privately owned companies with limited annual production. Covering all categories of menswear from tailored clothing to accessories, we aim to be a one-stop shop where a man can be completely outfitted. In addition to our ready-to-wear selection, we offer made-to-measure and bespoke services from a thoughtful selection of vendors, and regularly fly in artisans from their home countries to work directly with customers and conduct fittings.
For our first shop outside Hong Kong to be in New York City is a dream come true. We sincerely thank our customers for their support, and we’re looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones at The Armoury NYC.
Sincerely,
The Armoury Team
The Armoury NYC is located at 168 Duane Street between Hudson and Greenwich Streets. Store inquiries and trunk show appointments may be directed to nyc@thearmoury.com
