Hugh & Crye open house

Last saturday we attended the Hugh & Crye open house in their new Georgetown space. Hidden from the street, steps away from the corner of Wisconsin Avenue and O Street, the space is bright (due to large skylights), open and calming; The perfect place to focus on their shirts.

If you don’t already know, Hugh & Crye sells shirts intended to fit the wearer. This is in extreme contrast to the style you see many wearing in Washington DC, huge baggy shirts that may snag on passing objects. To this end, H&C’s shirts use a different sizing method than a typical off the rack shirt. To learn more about their sizing click HERE.

The inspiration board was a magnet for our camera:

We are very excited for Hugh & Crye, not only do they have a great new space but also great ideas for future designs. The expansion into plaids is notable because that is the type of men’s shirt we want to wear right now. We also believe their Georgetown location will receive increasing foot traffic as word gets around DC.

Hugh & Crye

One of the best runway shows at this season’s fashion:district, Hugh & Crye, is an up and coming men’s wear brand based in Washington, DC. The company’s identity centers around the innovative concept of offering different fits for each shirt size they carry. That same attention to detail was applied to their runway show. Each model showcased a different way to wear their shirts, from jeans and a leather jacket to a full-on suit. We hope that Hugh & Crye’s crusade to introduce DC to “shirts that fit” is felt from Capitol Hill to Georgetown; it would go a long way towards making our city more stylish.
