The Britches
Bespoke team will be duplicating their tasty purveyance this week here in D.C.
If you are within a thousand miles of The Sofitel, then you need to roll in on
the Britches Boys this week and witness the sartorial splendor.
And you absolutely don’t
need an appointment. However if you want some focused time with Mark Rykken for
a bespoke measure-up, then call him at 201-707-3000 or email him at
rykken.mark@gmail .com.
AND
IT’S NOT JUST BESPOKE!
Let me be crystal
clear about the Britches Bespoke offerings. If you’ve ever been reluctant to stop by such
bespoke soirees for fear of two piece suiting four-thousand dollar starting
price points I get it. Why go and gander at things you can’t have, right?
The Britches
Bespoke experience is designed to be different. Surely you can still bespeak a
four thousand dollar camel hair overcoat with Mark. I did. Years ago before I
went bankrupt and LFG had the audacity to want a college education.
But there’s plenty
of tasty offerings with MSRP stickers that won’t blanch you or your wallet. And if you want clothing in lieu of outerwear
or sportswear, the Britches Made-to-Measure clothing line starts at price
points friendly for the masses yet still preening the fuzzy-diced “this was
made just for me” bells and whistles.
The boys will be in
a sartorially swathed Sofitel suite at 806 15th Street N.W. This Wednesday the 11th, Thursday
the 12th, and until 12:00 noon on Friday the 13th. Don’t
wait until Friday to go.
And I can’t imagine
why in the world you’d want to see me but if you’d like to have a coffee and
let me spew Britches Bespoke superlatives at you in person, come by on Friday
morning and have a coffee with me. I’ll show you the Britches Bespoke quilted
jacket that I’m having Hindin and Rykken cook up for little old ADG.
I hope that the
summer weather in your part of the world has been as sublime as ours these last
few days. I found the mother lode of raw peanuts yesterday and have been
boiling them my a_s off. I’ll have some waiting for you at the Sofitel if you
want a little nibble of my favorite southern white trash staple. Shut up.
Onward.

Great news to see them back in business. I have some fond memories of the old Britches of Georgetown.
BTW, any chance of getting you onto Instagram? There are limitless amounts of menswear, shoes, fine art and so on there. I've always enjoyed your long form essays on your blog, but I'm sure the visual nature of Instagram would appeal to your artistic side.
Dear ADG, it's great to see you "here" again just as in tumblr. And happy to know you're feeling better now. All the best from Portugal.
