I've been lurking in the forum for a while now and this has been one of my favorite threads to read for the last few days. I hadn't really felt compelled to post anything until now. I'm a tennis coach/ computer diagnostician who turned 25 last year and realized I had a desire to dress better. Seeing the level of enthusiasm and commitment Mike and Adele have for their business and the value they place on providing excellent customer service is both inspiring and refreshing. In my experience, it's just not as commonplace as I wish it were. When I saw they were in a competition for best menswear in NY, especially against J. Crew, who I've had a less than pleasurable experience with in the past, I couldn't help but cast a vote in their favor.

I have yet to decide what my first Epaulet purchase will consist of, (I'm really feeling those navy flannel trousers. Please get some 33s in stock por favor ) but I definitely wanted to offer my congratulations for the win

We won the Racked Competition!!!
Okay, some huge thanks are in order! I'm thrilled to say that we are the official winners of the Racked "Best Menswear Store in New York" competition. Check out the chart below - we narrowly edged out Odin by about 8 votes and J.Crew by about 15.
Needless to say, we never could have done it without you. Thanks again everyone! We're going to shout out SF at the awards ceremony on Tuesday and they'll be pics a plenty!


Needless to say you should have won by far more, but just glad you came out on top ! well deserved Mike & Adele.

Congrats to Epaulet for the much-deserved win. While I've had a number of pleasant transactions with affiliates on this board, I've been consistently impressed by MIke's friendliness, patience and generosity with SF members. There are plenty of others here who could learn from his example.

Thanks again for all the kind wishes guys! We're pretty freaking amped for this awards ceremony. It's going down on Tuesday night. I'll surely drink my face off and twitter a bunch of increasingly random things as the night goes on. We'll return with plenty of pictures!
I just want a list of all those who sat there and voted fervently for a behemoth like J Crew so I can avoid them socially if we ever meet in the future.
Seriously. Maybe it was mostly J.Crew employees voting. Or guys who really want Mickey Drexler to hit that $1 billion net worth mark.

Cool, thanks so much for the kind words - and thanks for voting! We will get a restock of Navy Flannel along with the next delivery, so there could indeed be a 33 in your future!
Mike, any update on a date for the next trouser delivery?
Yup, still scheduled for the next 1-2 weeks. Plaids and Olive Moleskins are coming along with restocks. I have a beautiful Donegal tweed in there too.
