Back to the details:

A surprisingly broad array of work and sport shirts will be the strongest part of this season's offerings. We think we'll be starting with about 400+ shirts to choose from. Remember that many of these shirts are first samples for made-to-measure customers, so the sizes, styling and fabric selections are as varied as NYC.

And for the representative price list:
Jackets: $150-400 (values up to $2,500)
Suits: $200-800 (values up to $3,500)
Shirts: $60-90 (values from $180 to $400)
Sweaters: $60 – 160 (values from $150 to $475)
Pants: $80-120 (values from $190 to $450)
Polo shirts: $30-55 (values from $95 to $110)
And more
*All sales are final. Credit cards welcome. Gift Certificates not accepted

We hope to see you this weekend!

All the best
James and Gwen Jurney and the Groupe Seize sur Vingt family!

Holiday Party December 2008

Official Groupe Seize sur Vingt Holiday Promotion

We've offered solid investment advice for over 10 years.

At Seize sur Vingt and Groupe, we don't see clothes as a commodity. Timeless construction and style are the cornerstones of everything we make, which is why many of our customers are still able to wear shirts and suits from our first collection proudly.

Continuing this tradition of value, our entries into the 2008 Holiday Promotion Showdown:

GIFT CERTIFICATE ARBITRAGE

That’s right, get a $500 gift card for $425, or $1,000 for $800. And if you’ve never seen one, we make one of the nicest gift certificates in town, complete with handwritten card, tucked into a beautiful handmade fabric envelope then secured in a jewelry box with a ribbon to top it off. You can even personally select fabric swatches as a teaser to accompany your card. *See details below for restrictions.

IN-STORE SPECIALS

From now through December 24th, we’ve lowered prices on a wide range of winter clothing and gear. Most sweaters, neckties, suits, jackets, coats and pants are 25% off. Even some shirts have been selected for a discount.

PS: Thanks to everyone who made it to our holiday party on Tuesday at the Plaza. We’ll be posting the photos on our blog momentarily at www.16sur20.com and they’re certainly worth the look.

*Gift certificate restrictions: offer available through December 24th, may be redeemed beginning December 26th and valid for one year. May not be redeemed for sample sale purchases. Recipient information is held in our database, so don’t worry if you lose your card, you can still redeem it.

Seize sur Vingt (soft-)opens at the Plaza

Come see the new Retail Collection at The Plaza before it’s even finished. You see, we’re among the first group of shops that are complete and ready for business, while most of the space is still in construction. Check it out now to earn the “I saw it when” bragging rights.

We’re quite proud of our new digs. The store was sleekly and elegantly designed by the architecture firm 212box. Some of the details you’ll want for your own place – the massive rolling cabinets and slightly voyeuristic fitting mirrors are clearly the highlights. The really great news is that no matter where you live in NYC, you aren’t too far from your favorite shirts now.

To celebrate our northward expansion, and while we wait for our neighbors to open, we’re offering a discount of 15% on all suits/jackets/coats, ready-to-wear and custom, and even our cashmere sweaters and excellent 7-fold neckties. Not to discriminate against the downtown-bound, we’ll give the same deal to those of you who want to stop by either of the Elizabeth Street spaces.

We’re offering this exclusively to our loyal customers, so be sure to let us know you got this email when you stop in. The excitement of the unfinished Plaza won’t last much longer, and the deal is only good to Thanksgiving.

Looking forward to seeing you.

Secret Rendezvous - A Hideout For Music Lovers

Between spinning private parties and remixing records, our resident DJ Love On The Run has found the time to finally start his own music blog entitled "Secret Rendezvous". For those of you that have enjoyed his DJ sets at both Groupe and Seize Sur Vingt parties, you definitely want to subscribe to his blog, boasting an eclectic mix of hidden musical treasures. If you haven't had the opportunity to hear him live, this blog will give you a taste of his vast musical palette.



Love On The Run's mission with "Secret Rendezvous" is to hip the world to criminally slept on, and under appreciated music of all genres. Expect exclusive mixtapes, artist interviews, and plenty of music you've never heard before, spanning soul, dub, disco, rock, funk, boogie and left of center genres from beyond...

We are also now carrying a mix of Love On The Run's entitled "Fire Keep On Burning - Afro Caribbean Funk and Deep Disco Heat" available at Groupe.

The National

Our friends The National stopped by to do some shopping last week. It was great to have them in the store plus, we scored some free tickets!

Thanks to Foster for the quick photoshoot.
