38 Orchard St, at Hester; 212.925.5599

A second, dude-focused store from the Project No. 8 folks, this Spartan, white-walled box peddles two types of expertly curated, high-design wares: made-to-order furniture from Germany's e15 (polygon-ish wooden chairs, modular rectangular wall shelves...), and ready-to-wear Euro duds like cream & khaki-colored jackets from Sweden's Hope, dark grey vests & overcoats from Belgium's Stephan Schneider, and slim, mod, v-neck sweaters, cardigans, and vests from Berlin's Kostas Murkudis, who sews a tiny pocket into every piece for holding guitar picks -- similar to condom pockets, they will probably remain empty.
