The North Face Expanding in NYC

The outdoor giant opens a new store and expands flagship

The North Face

The North Face is perhaps the biggest name in the outdoor space. They have helped thousands of people climb mountains, hike the wilderness, and explore the unknown. While they began in California with stores in San Francisco and Stanford (with Grateful Dead playing at an opening, no less), they eventually landed a flagship store in Manhattan to capture the urbanites’ imagination and spark their spirit of adventure. Now, the company is expanding that flagship store and adding a new store in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, to widen their already large footprint even more.

More for NYC in 2025

The iconic outdoor brand’s first Williamsburg store concept will feature a dedicated Renewed shop-in-shop, hardware, and nature-inspired elements. The store will offer customers a robust product assortment highlighting the best of snowsports, men’s, women’s, kids, and accessories, including footwear, a critical growth area for the business. The expansion of the Manhattan store will feature 20,000 square feet of The North Face and keep the store rooted in the city.

“The North Face has been a well-worn uniform for New Yorkers throughout the streets of this great city for years. We are thrilled to be expanding our presence with our newest retail location in Williamsburg, Brooklyn,” says Caroline Brown, Global Brand President. “Inspired by the core elements of mountaineering, where we were born in 1966, this location will offer pieces that work from the mountain to the street and is the first of our US stores to house a dedicated curation of our Renewed products. More to come in 2025 for The North Face and New York.”

Dress like a Kentucky Derby pro with advice from a menswear expert
Head of Brand for Tie Bar teaches us how to dress for the Kentucky Derby

The first weekend in May annually hosts what many call "The most exciting two minutes in sports." Other than watching Greg Maddux run out a very rare triple hit by a pitcher back in the '90s, I have never heard anything in sports carry that same label. Ever since the grandson of the Clark half of the Lewis and Clark expedition traveled to Europe and gained a love for the sport of horseracing, the Kentucky Derby has captured the hearts and minds of race fans everywhere.

But, you know I don't write about horse racing. I write about men's style. This brings us to the best part of the day at Churchill Downs: Kentucky Derby outfits. My favorite part of the event is seeing how creative men can get with their looks. The bright colors, the hats, the ties, the fabrics. Maybe it is me being a menswear nerd, or perhaps it is just as sartorially interesting as the Oscars. Either way, I wanted to get some help on how to dress for race day, so I reached out to Michelle Kohanzo, Head of Brand for Tie Bar, and she gave me some insight on how you can capture all the attention without looking like a try-hard.

Huckberry sends people on the adventure of a lifetime with the Explorer’s Grant
Find your inner explorer with Huckberry's help
Huckberry jacket

We were never meant to drive a desk. We were never designed to spend our days in a cubicle. We were designed to live under the sky with the sun and the stars able to stare down on us. We have long since forged a world of comfort, with customs of living indoors, safe from the dangerous sun and the deadly predators that roam at night. And ever since we forged that world, we've started to lose our connection to the great outdoors. That is why Huckberry is one of the most important brands for a man looking to reconnect with and recapture the spirit of our ancestors. But combining explorer's wear with fashion wasn't enough for Huckberry, they also want to send you on the adventure of a lifetime. They just wrapped up the fifth edition of the Huckberry Explorer's Grant, sending "John B. from North Carolina" on one of five life-changing adventures.
