Customers were invited to explore custom shirting, tailored suiting and ready-to-wear pieces while receiving in-person fittings and guidance from trained stylists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"614\" height=\"441\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thestorefront.com\/mag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/54d1dcb30bbce_-_esq-j-hilburn-store-1013-fv5f40-xl.jpg\" alt=\"J.Hilburn pop up store in SoHo\" class=\"wp-image-246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thestorefront.com\/mag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/54d1dcb30bbce_-_esq-j-hilburn-store-1013-fv5f40-xl.jpg 614w, https:\/\/www.thestorefront.com\/mag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/54d1dcb30bbce_-_esq-j-hilburn-store-1013-fv5f40-xl-300x215.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 614px) 100vw, 614px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing SoHo was deliberate. As one of New York\u2019s most influential menswear retail districts, the neighborhood provided credibility, visibility and access to style-conscious customers without the long-term commitment of a flagship lease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"s2p-cta\" style=\"border:1px solid #DDDDDD;border-radius:14px;padding:22px 24px;margin:32px 0;font-family:inherit;background:#FFFFFF\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:11px;letter-spacing:.14em;text-transform:uppercase;font-weight:700;color:#4A494B\">For brands<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"margin:0 0 6px;font-size:19px;line-height:1.3;color:#1A1A1A\">Ready to launch your pop-up?<\/h4>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 16px;font-size:14.5px;color:#4A494B;line-height:1.5\">Find and book your short-term retail space with Storefront.<\/p>\n<a href=\"\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#5DD297;color:#1A1A1A;font-weight:700;font-size:15px;padding:12px 22px;border-radius:9px;text-decoration:none\">Find a space<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Explore available <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thestorefront.com\/search\/new-york\/soho\/retail\" class=\"ek-link\"><strong>pop-up spaces in SoHo, New York<\/strong><\/a> or browse broader <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thestorefront.com\/search\/new-york\/retail\" class=\"ek-link\"><strong>New York pop-up stores<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The activation demonstrates how a luxury menswear pop-up store can function as both a market test and a brand-building exercise.
