New Window Display. Flying Ace's theme.

[indycop]

Very cool Marty!! You should have the German plane with one of the American planes, looks like the 2 US planes are in a dogfightlol

 

[rumblefish]

Love it Marty! The planes, the in action ties, and the coachman and the ghost on the lapels. :eusa_clap

 

[LocktownDog]

You guys do the best displays! Wish you could do one a week, but I guess that's asking too much, huh?

[Marty M.]

Thanks Guys.

Thanks Guy's for your comments. Good point Indy. Rumble, even though I've been wearing fly's in my lapels for twenty five years. And we put them our customers suits, I have no idea the names of the flys. I just call my fly guy and tell him what colors I want and how many. As a matter of fact, I don't fish [huh] . I do plan on taking up fly fishing someday. Thanks.

I love all the pics you post of your store displays.:eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap
How I wish I lived close enough so I could drag my DH out and give him a good make over.
On the other hand, my dear late father was a very good dresser without seeming to make much of an effort, he would have loved shopping at your store.

You are a genius of colors and patterns and detail. I am thinking that you would enjoy looking at kimono patterns and combinations if ever you visit Japan. (I can give you an earful of explanations there, I passed the certification last year for intermediate expertise in kimonos and kimono culture. )

Looking forward to your future displays.

Top notch, Marty.

 

[Vintage Betty]

Wow Marty, you've really outdone yourself with that window display. :eusa_clap

How long in the prep and creation of the window?

Great windows (as usual), Marty!

BTW, I love this Astaire photo. I don't recall having seen it before.

 

[Spitfire]

TALLY HO, Marty.

Brilliant work.:eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

 

[Foofoogal]

Wow, that is just fabulous. Hope it brings you lots of customers. :eusa_clap

 

[scotrace]

Absolutely brilliant! I collect your display photos for a haberdasher friend of mine who also loves doing the front windows of his store.

 

[RIOT]

Great job! Definitely eye catching. :eusa_clap

Thank you for your kind words. I would love to hear and see more about the rich history of the Kimono. It would indeed be an honor to visit you in Japan someday. Thank you again for your touching comments.

Outstanding. I really like the theme of this display and you do it so well! Who'd ever thought a Flying Aces/Air Combat theme could look so good in a haberdashery window?

Where'd you get the models?

 

[Marty M.]

Thanks everybody.

Thanks everybody for your kind words.

Tomasso, The Astaire photo I bought of ebay. I used it last year for my Allen Edmond Trunk Show. My A/E Trunk Show for this year is Thursday, April 24th. So I did my smaller window display with shoes and changed the date on the picture to fit this years date.

Spitfire, I actually thought of you as we did the display.

Scotrace, Thanks buddy. I'd love to meet your pal someday and compare Haberdasher notes.

VB, I love looking through pictures that you post in your Book section for ideas. I try to change my windows every 8 weeks. I'm a big believer in theme displays. We also try to carry the display theme into the interior store displays. Since the clothing is usually made for the window display, and I have to find/buy/borrow props for the displays, I start planning my displays right after we finish putting the newest display in the window.

So right now we're planning our next display. I'm thinking a kind of Havana theme.

Ah! Sounds great.

A little Earnest Hemingway thrown in maybe.

Super potential. Cannot wait to see.

More displays.

We like to take our window display theme and continue it into the store. I did not want to hang airplains in the store. But a few well placed pictures and/or props go a long way. Thanks for viewing.

Bravo Marty - you really have the hand and mind for this kind of work.

[KilroyCD]

Marty, your display is just...beyond words! It makes me want to hop a plane and head out to the Twin Cities to pay a visit. (If I had the money, I would!)
Fabulous display, fabulous merchandise (I really like several of those ties)! You are truly a creative genius. Nobody in my area puts such thought and creativity into their displays. Bravo Marty!

 

[Warbaby]

Absolutely beautiful! Those windblown ties are a brilliant crowning touch.
