No longer will you Upper-Eastsiders have to travel downtown to either SoHo or Tribeca to experience J. Crew Men’s Shop. The two-story store, which opens to the public this afternoon, makes its home on the site of a former bank. Besides the façade, and a vault which now houses hand-selected vintage pieces, the fixtures from the space’s financial past are no longer intact. In their place are all of the lived-in and comfortable items you’ve come to love from J.Crew: coffee table books from the likes of Malcolm McLaren and Robert Longo, and imported Japanese fashion magazines; limited-edition collaborations and matured-to-perfection vintage finds; and a few items that will be sold exclusively at the UES location.
