GEORGETOWN: Luxury Mens Clothier Ledbury to Open in Cady's Alley in Georgetown

Well-tailored men’s clothing continues to expand in Georgetown. EastBanc, Inc. and Jamestown LP announced yesterday that Ledbury, the Richmond-based men’s luxury clothing brand, has signed a long-term lease to occupy the retail space in its Georgetown Renaissance property at 3319 Cady’s Alley, NW, located in the central courtyard. (clothier Steven Alan had this space before moving to The Shay in Shaw)The 670-square-foot store will serve as the brand’s first DC showroom and a grand opening slated for late-Spring. 

 Motivated to produce high-quality items, founders Paul Trible and Paul Watson created Ledbury to offer great-fitting, well-made men’s clothing to be worn in any setting, by any generation. Learning from the renowned shirt makers in London, they designed a classic product with subtle innovations, including a lowered second button creating the perfect “V” neckline and a canvassed interlining of the collar keeping it standing tall, to create a timeless-looking oxford. Ledbury clothing is manufactured with quality fabrics from European mills with the help of international artisans. The product line has grown to include men's sweaters, pants, blazers and accessories, all with the same high-quality standards.

“We have kept our eye on Ledbury for many years and continue a successful track record of providing space for entrepreneurial retailers that understand their market,” says Philippe Lanier, vice president of EastBanc. “I can’t wait to buy my first shirt!”

The new Ledbury retail space will add to the distinctive collection of high-end brands currently found in Cady’s Alley, a retail corner in Washington’s modern fashion, design and lifestyle goods district. The deal is one of many in the recent Georgetown Renaissance leasing activity, including retailers like Kit & Ace, Rent the Runway, Tuckernuck, Calypso St. Barth, Calligaris and Circa Lighting. The Ledbury lease agreement validates Georgetown as a location that supports the evolution of co-locating established brands with emerging talent and modern offerings. Ledbury's contribution of men’s trend-setting apparel will complement Bonobos men’s clothier located directly across Cady’s Alley. Elliott Kyle of Gorney Realty Company represented Ledbury in the deal.

The EastBanc and Jamestown Georgetown Renaissance portfolio is a collection of high-end retail properties in one of Washington, DC’s premier retail locations.
