ANY OLd IRON 149 Orchard Street<br />

The first retail store of its<br />

kind to hit Manhattan,<br />

Any Old Iron<br />

specializes in selling<br />

rare and UK-specific<br />

menswear. The<br />

majority of the collections<br />

featured<br />

are exclusive to<br />

Any Old Iron and<br />

include labels like;<br />

Bolongaro Trevor,<br />

Vivienne Westwood,<br />

Horace, Unconditional, Keanan Dufty and<br />

Jeffery West.<br />

Any Old Iron is the brainchild of designer/<br />

stylist, Andrew Clancey and arts-entrepreneur,<br />

Christopher Melton. The shop’s<br />

name is rooted in the olden cry of a scrap<br />

man collecting metal with his horse and<br />

cart, and also hearkens to Clancey’s family<br />

scrap metal business, which was founded<br />

in 1872. Pop in to say hello to Andrew and<br />

his beloved Boston Terrier, Monkey, for a<br />

truly unique shopping experience.<br />

BY ROBERT JAmES 74 Orchard Street<br />

Simple, Honest, Handsome.<br />

Robert James is a rural<br />

Ohio native whose<br />

menswear brand is<br />

founded on timeless<br />

handsome classics<br />

with a modern<br />

twist. James, who<br />

lives and designs on<br />

the <strong>Lower</strong> <strong>East</strong> <strong>Side</strong>,<br />

brings his passion<br />

for men’s fashion to life by designing a<br />

head to toe line of jackets, coats, jeans,<br />

trousers, and craft knitwear.<br />

James strives to maintain a brand that<br />

balances innovation and inspiration, while<br />

honoring the tradition of honest, hard<br />

work. Inspired by music and historic men’s<br />

garments and themes, and guided by the<br />

spirit of his humble beginnings, James’s<br />

designs appeal to high-end men’s fashion<br />

books as well as the average guy.<br />

The brand also uses local goods and<br />

manufacturing, insuring that every product<br />

is not only great for the consumer, but<br />

has a deeper environmental conscience<br />

while supporting local businesses in the<br />

community.<br />

THE CAST 71 Orchard Street<br />

The Cast is a downtown<br />

Orchard Street. The Cast continues to<br />

manufacture all their denim and leather<br />

here in New York City.
