Along with its trade show, Capsule is pulling together a side market filled with quality vintage finds and new wares at the Donut Shop. The list includes an impressive lineup of dealers and companies like Orange Crush Exports, Heller’s Cafe, and Strongarm Clothing & Supply Co. Brooklyn favorites In God We Trust and Kings County Salvage will round up the vintage goods. Other participants include Terrapin Stationers, Izola, Bellocq, and others. The Donut Shop will only be open for two days, January 16th and 17th from 10am to 7pm.

The Corsillo brothers (Emil and Sandy) are the tandem behind the highly-trafficked online shop Hickoree’s. With their pop-up style “Hickoree’s Outposts” housed in several J. Crew shops around NYC, several collaborations with such brands as Heritage Leather Co. and Field Notes, not to mention their beautiful Hill-Side brand of scarves, ties and pocket-squares which are available at finer retailers all over the world, it’s at long last that Hickoree’s has opened up a storefront in Brooklyn. The second floor space in Williamsburg is just below the company’s office and the clean-up and build-out they did on the shop space is impeccable. Leaving exposed brick and the long-plank wooden flooring in place to house their keen collection of fine clothing, luggage, grooming accessories and miscellaneous nostalgic items such as Slinkies, Big League Chew, wiffle bats/balls and sling shots.

Open daily 11-8 except Tuesdays.
109 South 6th Street, Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Wieden+Kennedy’s Attack is an anomaly. Unlike other large advertising agencies with smaller groups within, Attack’s portfolio resembles a boutique firm with local clients ranging from NY shops to non-profit orgs. W+K describes the department as their “resident SEAL Team Six of creatives,” executing designs rather than terrorists. Starting this Thursday, Wieden and Attack will be opening SHOP, a five day event celebrating some of New York’s best brands including 3Sixteen, Burkman Bros, Dossier Journal, Malin+Goetz, Rogan, Saturday, Steven Alan, United Bamboo, and many others. See the rest of the list of participating brands and hours after the jump.

Last week we visited Holler & Squall, the quaint antique shop on Atlantic Avenue. This week, just a few storefronts up, is David Alperin’s Goose Barnacle, a new menswear store that pays equal attention to its clothing as it does the art it showcases. Stocking the entire line from Taylor Supply, which Alperin is also the Head of Sales of, as well as labels from Crate, Svensson, and Fred Perry. In addition to the men’s collection, the shop carries an assortment of children’s outwear and a jewelry line by Alperin’s sister, Marissa Alperin. Currently on view are paintings by Aldo Pizzi and selected sculptural works by Rodger Stevens. See more from Goose Barnacle now.
