Fall '07 Trunk Show.

[Marty M.]

Every year we have our annual Fall Trunk show. This is a monster event for us. We hold this towards the end of September. It's a great two day preview for our customers to see what we'll be offering for the upcoming fall season. At this event we bring in a few of our vendors to help us work with our customers. We generally get about 150 - 200 people over the two day period. So I really need the help and wisdom of the people that make our clothes (Vendors).
A client and pal of mine snapped a few pics from the show. I thought that I would share a few with you. Maybe we could do a Fedora Lounge Trunk Show? Thanks for viewing.

Welcome to the show.

Vendor Peter Roberti from Adrain Jules of New York (they make our custom suits), myself (the back of me) and a customer going over a few details of his order.

Vendor Guy Milinazzo from Gladson Fabrics (I buy most of our fabrics from Gladson. They import from Italy and England) and customers reviewing their fabric choices.

A very tired Haberdasher (I get very little sleep for two months leading up to the show) and Mr. Milinazzo going over fabric orders for a few of our customers.

Our Trunk Show wouldn't be complete without my good friend Greg Varner of Excelsior Vintage Wines, there to tend our bar. You'll note that Oceans Eleven is playing behind our bar on the plasma. And the brains and beauty at our shop is my lovely wife Judy.

Vendor Mitch Gambert of Mel Gambert Custom Shirts and vendor Valentina helping a customer pick out some new shirts.

Our trunk shows have been known to be a great place to network with others (and get free wine).

My pal Varner holding court with a customer and my beautiful wife, on the finer wines of the world.

I hope that you enjoyed this small tour of our Trunk Show.

Thanks so much for sharing these, Marty. That looks like THE event to attend. Does the local Chamber of Commerce show up to learn how this stuff is done?

Also, let me say that Mrs. Marty is indeed very beautiful. The shop, the clothes, the lovely partner - you kind of have life by the shorts, eh?

Keep us posted on this year's date Marty, it looks like fun. Almost makes me wish I had to still dress up for work. That said my wardrobe could use a facelift.

You did indeed marry well.

 

[Flitcraft]

Dang, Mr. Mathis...

You are a man of many parts! Good job, Bro'!:eusa_clap
I'm envious, but in a good way!

 

[Vintage Betty]

WOW Marty - I wish we lived closer! I would drag my husband out to see you. And what a great store. Just stunning. And I agree with the gents above me, your wife is very beautiful.

Was it a good event for you?

That looks like a great event. I'll have to visit your store sometime, though I don't yet know any men that dress that well.

 

[Marty M.]

Thanks.

Thanks to all for your nice comments. That's a good idea about the Chamber Scotrace. As our website is being developed, we're talking about having video venues on our site. Our trunk shows would be one of the venues.

It was a very successful event for us, thanks for asking VB. And DPDiva, you do need to stop over. Maybe we'll have a Mpls Fedora Lounge party here at the shop .

btw I went to your website earlier today for the store and it was acting all wonky.

 

[Matt Deckard]

The suits look great and I can tell a lot of fun was had and sales were made.

Why didn't I get an invite Marty?

I've been awfully busy, but if you keep me posted i'll make the time. Besides it's time we had a meet up near you.

 

[imoldfashioned]

Your shop looks fabulous and a good turnout too (though I'm not surprised). Thanks for posting these pictures.

Hey, I like that idea Matt. I'd love to have you over.

IOF, you're the best. Thanks.
