Janus Motorcycles Featured at Christopher James Menswear

 

Janus_Motor_Mastead3 Janus Motorcycles will be featuring their bikes at the Christopher James Menswear Trunk Show on March 17, 2016 from 3-8p.m. Both motorcycle novices and enthusiasts are encouraged to drop in to test drive the bikes and ask questions.

ABOUT JANUS MOTORCYCLES:
Channeling a vintage aesthetic with modern engineering, Goshen, Indiana’s new startup, Janus Motorcycles, is proud to introduce their American-made, regionally sourced motorcycles to the national marketplace.

With a mixed background in architecture and mechanics, the co-owners, Richard Worsham and Devin Biek, saw a need for a scalable, yet fast bike that urban dwellers could afford. With deep roots in Elkhart County, Janus Motorcycles created a network of the area’s rich source of independent manufactures that ultimately spawned their two handmade bikes – the Halcyon 250 and Phoenix 250.

“Devin has lived and worked in Elkhart County his whole life, but I moved here after realizing the passionate tradition of quality manufacturing this area provides,” Janus Motorcycles Co-founder Richard Worsham said. “By keeping our business regionally built, we have created a model that is much to the liking of the farm-to-table trend; keeping prices low without sacrificing the high-end quality.”

Originating the name from the Roman god of the past and future, the motorcycles hail the highest level of design, influenced by the ‘20s Norton Motorcycle and the ‘60s café racers, yet features the modern mechanics of speed and safety. Both products are custom made for every order and sport handmade leather saddle seats, powerful 250cc single-cylinder engines and an anti-dive front suspension, developed by the Janus team.

“We are not industry insiders; we are a small company handcrafting small bikes,” Worsham said. “With my background in architecture and Devin’s in mechanics, we produce a product that channels function and beauty in equal parts. Our goal is to produce bikes that are engineered to connect the rider with speed and agility that will make riding fun again.”

Put a Spring in Your Step with Allen Edmonds Shoes

Spring is slowly rolling into Fort Wayne, and we’re hoping to speed up its arrival by debuting Allen Edmonds’ new line of Spring 2015 shoes.

If you haven’t already been to our Spring Trunk Show, which kicked off yesterday, you can peruse the new collection in Allen Edmonds’ Spring 2015 Styles catalog (PDF).

Or, you can read it here:

Allen Edmond’s spring collection features dress shoes designed to combat the fickle spring weather in style. They are made with an all-weather Dainite sole, which is basically high-tech studded rubber that will give you extra grip and traction when it’s slick. Dainite soles are perfect if March and April bring more showers than sunshine (and here’s praying they don’t. We’ve already paid our weather dues with the polar vortex and Snowmageddon, right?).

Speaking of earning it–we’ve shoveled more than our fair share of snow and deserve the freedom and irreverence of spring, both of which are embodied in AE’s spring drivers. We love AE drivers. They are lightweight and perfect for a long drive, plane ride and even a lazy Sunday run to the store.

AE’s slip-ons are on point, as usual. They have a classic penny loafer shape but with a slightly longer, wider saddle for a more modern look. We love AE slip-ons because you can wear them with tailored dress pants for business travel, or dress them down with jeans and look equally put together.

There’s more we love about Allen Edmonds (really, what’s not to love?) but it’d be better if we could show you in person. We are hosting Allen Edmonds at our Spring Trunk Show until tomorrow, so come by and see us, and these beautiful shoes. We have the best selection of AE shoes not only in Fort Wayne, but in northeast Indiana.

We can’t wait to see you. Find Christopher James Menswear here.

Our Spring Trunk Show is Happening Today!

WATCH THE TALBOTT VIDEO

Today, Christopher James Menswear in Fort Wayne, Ind. is hosting a spring trunk show, partly in hopes of making the warm weather come a little sooner, and partly (and most importantly) to show you new apparel from four top-notch designers that will definitely be big this season: Coppley, Scabal, Robert Talbott, and Allen Edmonds.

Here’s a little bit about the four brands we will be showcasing today:

Coppley

Few things are better than knowing you are wearing a suit that fits like a glove. If you want something tailor made, Coppley is the brand you want to work with. They are one of the best when it comes to made-to-measure suits. They have more than 500 luxury fabrics to choose from too. Come see what’s new with Coppley this season!

Scabal

Scabal manufacturers some of the rarest and most unique fabrics in the industry. If you come to our trunk show, you’ll be able to have a suit made with the Scabal fabric of your choice.

Robert Talbott

Spring is the perfect season for layering and mixing up colors and patterns, and Robert Talbott is the king of layering. Keep several Robert Talbott pieces in your closet and you won’t even have to think about what goes with what. See RT’s newest spring pieces today. (Also featured in the video above).

Allen Edmonds

What can be said about Allen Edmonds that hasn’t been said a million times? A.E. is the best in men’s dress shoes, beloved by presidents, popes, and businessmen across the globe. They are built to last, they look good, and you make better business decisions while wearing them. Okay, maybe that last one is conjecture, but who’s checking facts here? Anyway, CJM will be debuting A.E.’s newest, highest-quality dress shoes.

Special pricing is available on all these brands during the trunk show.

This a 3-day event, but our friends from these companies and hors d’oeuvres and adult beverages from Catablu, will only be available today from 4:00 pm – 8:00 pm.

See you there!

Kick Winter to the Curb with Allen Edmonds Shoes

Allen-Edmonds

Winter–especially here in Fort Wayne–is the worst when it comes to footwear. Salt lines, water stains, soggy, cold feet, and the list goes on. The best way to combat Mother Nature’s cold streak is with a pair of high-quality, long lasting Allen Edmonds shoes.

Allen Edmonds is the standard bearer of classic men’s shoes and we are proud to carry them. Each pair of A.E.s shoes is constructed via a 212-step process, which, if you want to get technical about it, is actually a 424-step process (212 per shoe). That’s a lot of steps.

But it’s fitting, seeing as you’ll take a lot of steps in your Allen Edmond shoes. They are so well made that they wear well for years, and owners typically have their A.E.s repaired rather than replaced. In fact, many A.E.s are deliberately designed to accommodate easy repairs.

Allen Edmonds reputation for wearing well is more important now that it’s winter, and soon your shoes are being relentlessly exposed to the elements, which unfortunately, is a fate none of us can escape. You can, however, put up a good fight by getting yourself a pair of Allen Edmond shoes.

They use only superior leathers such as calfskin and cordovan, and these materials are combined with cork footbeds to create unmatched comfort. Every shoe remains in the last (a mechanical form that has a shape similar to that of a human foot) for at least 24 hours to ensure that they hold their shape for a lifetime.

Come into Christopher James Menswear today and try on our wide selection of A.E. shoes. We have the best selection in northwest Indiana. Also, an expert sales associate will assist you and make sure you buy a pair that fits properly and comfortably, and give you tips on how to get the most out of your Allen Edmonds shoes.

Find us here. We can’t wait to see you.
