Arriving soon to the citys's menswear marketplace will be Joseph's Custom Clothing for Men. Arranged by the leasing team of Faith Hope Consolo, chairman, and Joseph Aquino, executive vice president of Prudential Douglas Elliman's Retail Group, the deluxe haberdasher has signed a long-term lease for a centrally located store at 805 Third Ave., between 49th and 50th Sts., in Midtown's corporate headquarters corridor.
Joseph's, which is a renowned bespoke men's boutique with a client base comprising celebrities, sports figures and scores of prominent businessmen, is also a destination for aficionados of custom shirts and jeans, European footwear and fine accessories. Owner Joseph Wendt often travels coast to coast for his exclusive clientele, providing them with the latest fashions. It is not unusual for a Joseph's clients to purchase entire wardrobes in a single sitting.
"Could there be any better synchronicity than this stellar location," said Consolo. "Surrounded by a virtual client base of executives from Fortune 500 companies in the immediate area, Joseph's will provide them with quality suits on a par with Brioni, Kiton and Loro Piana, but with that extra measure of care that truly defines custom tailoring."
According to Aquino, "The new store will have a traditional feeling, too, almost like a haberdasher on Jermyn Street, including custom cabinetry, leather bound chairs, the finest cloths and personal bespoke tailors. It will be a destination that is, without a doubt, a 'perfect fit'."
Consolo and Aquino exclusively represented both the tenant and the landlord, Cohen Brothers Realty Corp., for the 1,000 s/f space.
