The BKc, Style + Character & The Class Room: We’d like to take the time out to congratulate “The Class Room” on opening their new store in Houston. The Class Room is the only store in Houston currently carrying the BKc and a very impressive line up of brands including shirts by Hamilton 1883, Ebbets Field Flannels and Tanner Goods. We wish them the best for the holiday season and the utmost success in the years to come. If you are out in Texas stop by and say hello to the team at The Class Room, tell them The Brooklyn Circus & BKc sent you. We’ll make it a special point to stop in ourselves the next time we are in Houston. The Class Room is located in the Rice Village at 2534 Amherst St., between Brown Bag Deli and Soho (across the street from Red Mango and La Madeleine).

BKc Holiday Online Shop: The team has been up late nights doing our best to add as much product to the BKc Holiday Online Shop as possible. The online shop is open 24 hours a day and we are shipping more frequently to ensure that everyone will receive their gifts long before the holidays. Our UPS driver Pat and all the ladies at the post office are on our list for a rum cake for all their help this season. They’ve see our faces enough this season and don’t mind seeing it for a few more weeks. With that said, head over to the shop and give a gift or treat yourself.

The BKc, Online Shop Features: At the request of several of our loyal online customers and many of you loyal followers, The Bearded Man adds his personal styling to the online shop for a series of special holiday pieces. Stay tuned for a full offering of holiday items styled & presented by The Bearded Man. He promises to bring on his circle of notable industry friends & family to add their twist to a particular piece.

First up is our “Green Mile” shawl collar cardigan. A beautifully hand constructed, 100% lambswool knit cardigan, embellished with leather buttons and felt “1920″ BKc applique. Why 1920?  What is now the NFL (National Football League) was loosely formed in 1920 as the American Professional Football Association. Yet what is interesting is after 1926, all five of the black players that were still in the  National Football League left the league. Several teams were kicked out of the league that year, and with a large number of available, talented white players, black players were generally the first to be removed, never to return again. Several black players did play in the league the following years, but from 1933 to 1939 the black players were officially banned from the league. The NFL did not welcome another black player until after World War II.

As important, Grandma Rose (The Bearded Man’s grandmother) who nurtured his interest in vintage, antique, Style + Character was also born in 1920. She is living, well and 91 years young. She is certainly the foundation of The 100 Year Plan. The BKc, Style + Character & The 100 year Plan . . .
