T-minus five days away from our first ever fitting event this coming Saturday — November 1st in downtown Chicago, courtesy of our friends at Naansense. Historically, when someone has mentioned Custom Dress Shirts and Indian Food in the same sentence, the story has just not ended well. A heavy dry cleaning bill is usually the end result.
With that being said you may be asking, what have you Deo Veritas been doing since you last posted? Stocking up folks. Stocking up with just the right supplies.
But seriously, we have been working … HARD! From crafting the perfect menu, to preparing a good sampling of custom dress shirts and fabrics, to finalizing our guest list … it’s been a ton of work and we can’t wait to show it off.
Some common questions folks have been asking:
Will we be able to see sample products?
Absolutely. We’ll have a number of sample shirts, ties, accessories, fabric swatches, as well as an assortment of our collars and cuffs as standalone pieces that you’ll be able to touch and feel.
One of our sample club collars being prepared for displayCan I actually buy some custom dress shirts from you at the event?
Since we’re expecting to talk to a lot of folks in a limited time frame, what we were planning on providing are (electronic and paper) gift certificates that customers can purchase at a very nice discount. We’ll of course be setting you up with a measurement profile and the proper login credentials so that once you’re ready to order, you’ll be able to easily checkout and order.
Should I print out the Eventbrite RSVP ticket and have it in hand when I (we) arrive?
Yes! We have a ton of people that we’re expecting and will not immediately be able to accommodate non RSVP guests. If you’re not on the “list” our burly (yet friendly) door manager will politely let you know where we’re at in terms of capacity and if we’re letting in non RSVP guests.
Twist my arm and convince me to come…
Ok, here we go.
1.) You get try out some incredible Indian food by two up and coming stars in the Chicago foodie scene.
2.) If you were ever in the market for a custom dress shirt but were afraid for a myriad of reasons (taking your own measurements, not being able to actually see / touch fabrics and products, not being able to talk to someone in person) — well, here you go. We’ve removed every one of those barriers.
3.) Free drinks. A couple of of them anyway. Don’t worry, our bartender’s middle name is “Heavy Pour”.
