The gentlemen pictured above, denizens of Alfargo’s Marketplace, have been designated J. Press Style Icons, personalities whose wardrobes are comprised of year-round staples that are a necessity to every wardrobe, regardless of the generation they represent.
Alfargo’s Marketplace hosts a bi-monthly clothing sale that brings together fashion enthusiasts, industry professionals, and more for a weekend of great tunes, vintage grails, and lively conversation.
J. Press has provided Alfargo's and the broader menswear community with a unique value, being an American heritage brand. It possesses the qualities and style that is the foundation of American menswear.
Alfargo's ethos and J. Press' history really is a match made in sartorial heaven for the enthusiasts searching for timeless style."
In the 1940s Oscar Hammerstein provided a Broadway show tune lyric that broadens the definition of errant gentleman no-no’s:
The gentleman is a dope.
A man of many faults
A clumsy Joe who wouldn't know a rumba from a waltz.
May I add to Mr. Hammerstein’s lyric my own line, “or dresses like a slob.” The guys from Alfargo’s offer Gen Z the maxim dressing well is the best revenge.
