New Haven
Mayor Justin Elicker joined Michinobu Yasumoto, president and CEO of J.Press /
Onward
Holdings, who was in attendance from Japan, along with Richard Press ––
grandson of
J.Press
founder, Jacobi Press for the ribbon cutting ceremony and celebration. The
event also
served as
the official launch for Richard Press’ new book Threading the Needle Volume II
giving
partygoers
the opportunity for a signed copy and a first look at the new book.
Located at
262 Elm Street, the new store draws a direct link to the past as it adjoins the
previous J.
Press location on York Street. Measuring 1,780 square feet, the building has
been
restored to
its original charm and has an austere exterior featuring classic J. Press blue
awnings.
The shop has been decorated with vintage furniture from the original store and
Ivy-themed
bric-a-brac. This new store will offer a colorful collection of sportswear and
the
classic
tailored clothing that J. Press has sold in New Haven for more than a century.
