All Aboard the Brooks Brothers Holiday Express

By Jesse Jernigan Published December 6, 2016

If you’re making your way to New York City this holiday season to do a fair share of sight-seeing, you must take a ride in style on the Brooks Brothers Holiday Express.

Brooks Brothers, America’s oldest (and favorite) retailer, has transformed the 42nd street shuttle train in Midtown Manhattan into a ride of holiday bliss. If you love everything about the brand, it’s an one of a kind experience that you won’t want to miss.

The train car exteriors have been dressed up in the brand’s signature tartan in navy, red, and gold, which mirrors the exclusive pattern frequently found in Brooks Brothers collections as well as its holiday packaging.

Once you take a step inside the Holiday Express, you’ll be blown away by the Brooks Brothers themed interior. The 42nd street train welcomes more than 100,000 daily riders into a Brooks Brothers environment inspired by the Madison Avenue Flagship (another must-visit while in the Big Apple) which is located just two blocks from Grand Central Station. The interior features upholstered flannel pinstripe seats accessorized with signature rep stripe pillows, mahogany wood paneling, and framed photos, while shelves are stacked with holiday gift suggestions including ties, dress and sport shirts, knitwear and accessories for men and women.

Also a theme on the Holiday Express are Brooks Brothers fundraising efforts on behalf of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and the St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign. The holidays should be a cheerful time for everyone, and Brooks Brothers is a model company for their philanthropic efforts to make that happen. This is the season of giving, and Brooks Brothers has made every penny count. Since 2005, the iconic American brand has raised more than $14 million to support the St. Jude mission of finding cures and saving children battling cancer and other life-threatening diseases.

John Elliott mixes tailoring and performance in fall 2024

Designer took inspiration from Italian sports cars

John Elliott is one of the fastest-rising stars in the fashion industry. While his namesake label launched in 2012 and is barely old enough to ride the rides at theme parks, it continues to take home award after award year after year. Starting in California with a love of skating culture, basketball, and clothing, Elliott found his way into the industry with the knowledge he learned from an Italian immigrant grandmother and seamstress. His first collection in 2015 F/W NY Fashion Week garnered him GQ's Designer of the Year and he has shown eight times since. After numerous awards, the brand looks to continue its success with its John Elliott fall and winter 2024 collection, taking inspiration from a place close to his roots.
Pieces inspired by legendary sports cars

The collection takes its shape from a trip to Italy, where they found themselves with an unexpected day off in Modena. While the area is known for the factories and museums of iconic Italian car brands Ferrari and Maserati, Elliott discovered his eye drawn to the blending point of tailoring and activewear worn by the engineers during a visit to one of the factories. He then took note of the interiors of the 60s and 70s era legends, the suede and leather fabrics fused with intricate stitching. The collection was born out of this inspiration and offers a custom-developed melton wool from Japan used in outerwear, a heavy moleskin found in the trucker jackets and high-rise straight-leg denim, a brushed knit with an attractive uneven skip-stitch for a luxurious texture that's unmistakably reminiscent of vintage car interiors, and a beautifully patinated leather.

PacSun returns to Sin City for F1

The Las Vegas collection returns with a limited edition jacket

PacSun Formula 1next to a car

Last year, the incredibly popular race syndicate Formula 1 debuted in Las Vegas. Seemingly reworking the entirety of the Vegas Strip, it created and ran an exhilarating race that saw Max Verstappen take the win and finish just under 90 minutes, with Charles Leclerc and Sergio Perez coming in behind him only seconds away. While the race was the draw, countless brands showed up to provide race fans with various souvenirs. PacSun is returning this season, but the PacSun F1 Las Vegas Collection isn't only great clothing; a limited edition garment accompanies it.

“After such a strong reception last year, we’re excited to bring Pacsun’s F1 collection back to Las Vegas,” said Richard Cox, Chief Merchandising Officer at Pacsun. “As anticipation grows ahead of the second year of this fantastic Grand Prix, we cannot wait to offer fans more race-inspired apparel to connect them to the action.”
