Chicago’s go-to men’s custom clothier Nicholas Joseph takes style to lofty new heights, with the opening of a pop-up location 24-stories above the bustling streets of Chicago’s Loop – in addition to their swank River North showroom.
Beginning October 5th, Nicholas Joseph sets-up its signature collection of custom-tailored suits, shirts, accessories and essentials designed for today’s urban male, within the clubby-contemporary confines of John Allan’s, located on the Penthouse Level of 111 West Jackson, Chicago.
This sleek Chicago out-post of the New York City-based men’s grooming empire offers floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a wrap-around terrace, with spectacular skyline views. Surrounded by amenities like a fully-stocked bar, billiards, flat-screen TVs, deep leather sofas and chairs, a full range of salon services from haircuts and shaves, to manicures, facials and massages are offered.
Look for ready-to-go items like Nicholas Joseph’s fine Italian silk ties, pocket squares, mother-of-pearl collar stays and cufflinks, and cashmere essentials, in addition to displays of suits, sport coats, overcoats, trousers, dress shirts, fabrics and style options, with on-site measuring available at the pop-up on a regularly scheduled basis.
“A Nicholas Joseph pop-up in John Allan’s seems a perfect fit, and allows us to bring our collection right to the heart of the Loop, showcasing our offerings in a relaxed, casual, stress-free setting,” said Nicholas Joseph founder/owner Nicholas Hansen.
The Nicholas Joseph pop-up will be open during John Alan’s regular business hours, Monday-Wednesday 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Thursday-Friday 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Appointments are required for custom clothing consultation, accessories may be purchased during regular business hours.
