STEPPIN' OUT FLAG STORE @ WESTFIELD MALL OF THE NETHERLANDS





















It has been a while since my last post, but the world stood upside down and we had to be focussed on other things instead of writing nice stories with beautiful pictures on Chad's Drygoods. Luckily everything starts coming back to "normal" again. 

The last few weeks I have been very busy with the realization of our latest store. We opened a beautiful Flagship store in the Westfield Mall of The Netherlands, Leidschendam. 

Steppin' Out started in 1983 in Utrecht as a second-hand store, students easily found the way for a vintage tweed jacket or a nice shirt. Today Steppin' Out has 15 stores in The Netherlands, still a go to heaven for the prepsters around us. Stocked with products from brands like William Lockie, Barbour, Sebago and many more, but also a great collection Steppin' Out shirts, pants, knits etc.

The store concept has the influence of a Long Island beach house combined with an English Estate and a touch of a New York loft. Warm wood, crisp tiles and colors in summer white and denim blue, steel elements and a tin ceiling above the cash desk.

Hope to see you soon in Leidschendam

THE BROOKLYN CIRCUS + CHAMPION FOR TODD SNYDER



                                              












Founder of Brooklyn Circus, Ouigi Theodore focuses on urban apparel, hats, and shoes that sport a vintage feel. His clothing gets respect for its quality, and his attention to detail has found him collaborating with brands like New Era, and now Todd Snyder, and Champion for a collection inspired by boxing, and more specifically, Muhammad Ali.

Borrowing from the feeling that must have stirred the air at Fighter’s Heaven, while Ali trained there in the 1970s, Theodore created this boxing inspired collection that show a vintage sportswear feel, and take elements from Ouigi Theodore’s aesthetic like a 1920 logo that speaks to his grandmother’s birth year in tribute to her.

Todd Snyder did it again, he has a great feeling of making the best collaborations in fashion!

TODD SNYDER X LLBEAN COLLABORATION FW2020


















WOW!!

For me this is the best collab of the year! Todd Snyder X LLBean. It's the first time the Freeport, Maine brand does a collaboration with another brand. That makes it unique and one of a kind but it taste like more.
