SHINOLA - FROM MOTOR CITY TO THE CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS

"Where American is made"

The name Shinola was a household name from 1907 till 1960, as a American brand of wax-based shoe polish. The original trademark of the Rochester, NY based company was filed in 1929. Shinola/Detroit LLC purchased the name from the defunct shoe polish company and now they're putting a shine on new Made in the USA products like watches, bicycles, leather goods, journals and....shoe sine in Detroit, Mi.

They recently opened a store in New York, the store itself has been meticulously renovated to honor the history of the neighborhood and the building. From a design standpoint, inspiration the comes from artist Donald Judd's library in Marfa, TX, and they managed to get their hands on an incredible 1930s Bronze Mercator map, which in all honesty is worth coming into the store just to see.

STORE LOCATOR: J.PRESS YORK STREET

J.Press, gentlemen's clothing store since 1902 teamed up with the brothers Ovadia and developed the J.Press Yorkstreet collection. A few weeks ago the first York Street Store opened it's doors @ Bleecker Street with next door neighbors like Gant Rugger & Brooks Brothers Black Fleece. The store has a lot of heritage and links with the Ivy League background of J.Press, with "Handsome Dan" the Yale bulldog as mascot. (pics via flickr & selectism)
