"FacebookPinterest\n\nUp until now, J.Crew's menswear presence in New York has mostly been a downtown affair. Their Soho Men's Shop and Tribeca Liquor Store locations have become bookmarked destinations for guys looking for modern-yet-classic, Americana-inspired suiting, casualwear, and accessories. Now they're heading north. \"Upper East Side guys kept traveling downtown to our Liquor Store and asking, 'When are you going to open a store uptown?' \" says J.Crew menswear designer (and GQ Best New Designer finalist) Frank Muytjens. \"The answer is now.\" The two-story store, which opens to the public this afternoon, makes its home on the site of a former bank. Besides the fa&amp;amp;#xE7;ade, and a vault which now houses hand-selected vintage pieces, the fixtures from the space's financial past are no longer intact. In their place are all of the lived-in and comfortable items you've come to love from J.Crew: coffee table books from the likes of Malcolm McLaren and Robert Longo, and imported Japanese fashion magazines; limited-edition collaborations and matured-to-perfection vintage finds; and a few items that will be sold exclusively at the UES location. More on those below. And for a closer look at what the new store will be carrying, check out our J.Crew Men's Shop slideshow.\n\nJ.Crew Men's Shop, 1040 Madison Avenue, New York, NY\n\nFacebookPinterest\n\n This new suit boasts the same fit as the label's narrow-lapeled Ludlow, but is crafted out of soft and easy cashmere.
