Freemans Sporting Club’s 8 Rivington store is set to reopen this week as the Global Flagship Store thanks to the efforts of world-famous Japanese designer Mr. Kazuya Sasaki of Smallclone. His previous work includes Dover Street Market NYC, Arts & Science Kyoto, Omotesando Koffee Hong Kong, Mackintosh New York, Hibiya Central Market Tokyo.
In keeping with the the shop’s original concept and interior, he sought to bring the Freemans Sporting Club store back to its classic American design with a little more sophistication, by drawing inspiration from early 19th century New York. Arranging vintage rustic wooden furniture, and antiques in a manner faithful to the heritage of the brand, he has created an inviting space where people can stay and spend quality time.
For over a decade, Freemans has created a reputation for quality in American-made tailored clothing and sportswear in downtown New York. The traditional Americana menswear collection is comprised of well made essentials for every man’s wardrobe.
The newly created Made-to-Measure room deep within the space gives customers a luxurious shopping experience with highly knowledgeable specialists and an in-house tailor.
In addition to the new space dedicated to the Made to Measure program, plans for new products and brand collaborations are in the works.
The space is warm and inviting, exactly what I think of when I think of a sporting club.
