Combatant Gentlemen, or Combat Gent (www.combatgent.com), the vertically-integrated e-retailer disrupting the menswear industry with 100% Italian wool suits starting at $160, today announced their partnership with Nordstrom, Inc. for their newest ‘Pop-In@Nordstrom’ series, Heartbreakers II, led by the Seattle-based retailer’s VP of Creative Projects, Olivia Kim.
Launched in time for Valentine’s Day, Heartbreakers II will run between February 11th and March 13th in select retail locations and online at https://www.nordstrom.com/pop. The event showcases a collection of menswear featuring products designed by upcoming, need-to-know designers.
“We’ve had smaller pop-up shops in the past, but now we’re excited to be amongst other brands and showcase what differentiates Combat Gent,” said Vishaal Melwani, CEO, Creative Director and Co-Founder at Combat Gent. “We share similar creative philosophies with Nordstrom—our mission is to find innovative ways to always bring something fresh to the table. We’re excited to continue doing just that and bring our millennial guys with us through Nordstrom’s doors.”
Offering a selection of ties, casual and formal shirts, tuxedos and all-wool suits curated by Kim and her Creative Projects team, Combat Gent’s line, priced between $16 and $200, will be available to purchase on Nordstrom’s website throughout the duration of the pop-in. Additionally, the company will host three in-store events at the following dates and Nordstrom locations:
• February 27-28: San Francisco (865 Market Street)
• March 4-5: Seattle (500 Pine Street)
• March 12-13: Chicago (55 East Grand Avenue)
“As an online company, going offline is always on our minds,” said Kevin Campos, Head of Business Development at Combat Gent. “It gives us the chance to bring the brand to life in tangible ways, and we’re looking forward to using this incredible opportunity with Nordstrom to pair our menswear with in-store experiences that reflect not just who we are as Combat Gent, but our modern gents altogether.”
Planned in-store experiences include live performances by guest DJs and whiskey and craft beer tastings as well as limited edition items, such as the Navy Slim Fit Shawl Collar Tuxedo ($200), available to purchase exclusively in the three Nordstrom locations.
Customers can also make appointments for made-to-measure fittings with stylists personally trained by Melwani, a third-generation tailor. Appointments can be reserved online at https://www.combatgent.com/popin.
“These in-store events are about the complete millennial male lifestyle,” added Melwani. “The top inquiries we always receive revolve around styling: Which casual shirts are best for interviews, what kinds of alterations work for certain body types and how can one tie be styled in multiple ways? This pop-in means bringing our guy into Nordstrom’s stores, offering tips on the spot and building relationships face-to-face.”
Heartbreakers II is the follow-up to the specialty retailer’s initial 2014 menswear pop-in shop, focusing on the idea that in style, as in life, basic won’t cut it.
