Alumni of New York’s Flushing location opened its doors in May 2018 with the goal of bringing a premium boutique shopping experience to customers in the area. Stocked with brands like Carhartt WIP, Chinatown Market and Canada Goose, it represents a new chapter in our retail history. Spearheaded by visionary brandmaster Jaeki Cho, Alumni of New York in Flushing invokes the spirit of the original location on Utica Avenue and fuses it with a 21st century vision that is undeniably inspired by the city. If Queens gets the money then Alumni Flushing has their hand in the pot.

No matter where you live—an urban metropolis to the quiet country backwoods—you probably know more than one person who has a piece of clothing by Carhartt in their regular rotation. The legendary American workwear label has been in operation since 1889, making clothes that last forever and never go out of style. One hundred years after it was founded, Carhartt’s European division launched Carhartt WIP, taking inspiration from streetwear-clad youth around the world and bringing the brand straight to another generation. Along the way, they also won fans in other respected labels, earing co-signs and collaborations from names like Vans, APC, and Junya Watanabe, and further proving that it may be Carhartt’s world, and we’re all just wearing some well-worn barn jackets in it.
