If you’ve ordered with us recently, namely a shirt from our new collection, it’s likely you did a double-take once you received your shirts in the mail. We made a slight change in the naming of our various fits – but the sizes are still the same, as you’d expect them to be. The “Lean” size, [...]
If you followed us on our recent sourcing trip, you’ll know that we traveled to 9 cities, across 3 countries, working our way to better relationships with our fabric and trim suppliers, as well as our manufacturers (ha!). We’re back in DC now, and excited to reconnect with all of you. It was a pretty [...]
If you were hoping for new shirts, don’t worry! We’ll be releasing them very soon. For now, we’re excited to launch our new collection of skinny ties – eleven 2″ ties that are university inspired. Seven of ‘em are in classic collegiate stripes, but in interesting color combinations not found at any ivy or [...]
On our recent fabric and garment sourcing trip abroad, Phil and I took some time to reflect on the year past, and the feedback we’ve received from all of you. We were reminded by what a few fantastic customers told us - Take a vacation, you’ve earned it. We’re happy to report we did, and in style. You’ll also be [...]
BRING ON 2012. Last night I went to a Capitals game with a friend/mentor of mine. We had amazing seats and whiskeys in hand. Recognizing this unique opportunity, I sought his advice (quite selfishly) on all things Hugh & Crye. Like all great mentors, he left me feeling great about our progress to date, and gave [...]
Dart / därt / n. 1. A tapered tuck sewn to adjust the fit of a garment. We’ve talked about darts before. Most guys will readily admit they don’t know they even existed. Women, on the other hand, know exactly what darts are — they’re everywhere in their clothing! Darts improve fit, in ways that [...]
I’ve finally gotten around to sitting down and watching Prohibition, the film by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that Americans like to drink…a lot. After cutting his teeth in the hard scrabble world of Civil War documentaries, Ken Burns has now become America’s preeminent provider of infotainment, [...]
You asked for it, and you got it — Hugh & Crye gift cards. In two flavors, $100 and $200, just in time for the holiday season (which seems to get earlier and earlier every year somehow, doesn’t it?) How it works: Add the quantity you desire to cart, and go through the checkout process [...]
Thank you, Eric (from Atlanta) for this kind and hilarious email. Yes, Brooks Brother’s Extra Slim Fit doesn’t cut it. We’re happy you found us… but about that back sweat, we feel your pain… DC was built on a swamp and the single reason we’re welcoming the fall weather. Now about the question you pose… [...]
A Visit to London We’ve all been there, to London that is. Some of us have been there as students, thrilled to be in a civilized country where the drinking age is 18 and mystified by those heady elixirs called “ales” and “stouts.” Some of us have been there on business, reveling in the realization that hitting [...]
