A Visit With: Made With Rest
This evening I made a stop by Rest Store in the Lower East Side. Its rather easy to pass up, a large black door on the street with nothing but a buzzer on the outside.
No sign, just 223 on the door.
I buzz in and am greeted by the shop’s owner Michael. He’s wearing a knit cap, McNairy kicks (for Rest Store) and an adidas jacket.
“Hey man, c’mon in.” He says.
I felt like I just got let into Wonka’s Factory…
The shop is laid out nice and clean, (clothes hang near the wall) a smell of japanese incense is in the air. The jamaican vibe is there too, in fact when I checked out it was on this old bodega looking thing. Talk about attention to detail – there wasn’t a single thing that seemed out of place or overlooked.
The clothes consisted of a mix of Post O’alls, Mark McNairy, and MWR’s own line of shirts and pants (which were very nice). Oh yeah, and everything is made in the USA. (THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT!)
Overall, the shop is definitely one of the coolest stores I’ve been to. Michael is nice as can be and the clothes are legit. What more can you ask for?
The icing on the cake though; maybe its just because I love details, was the packaging
See for yourself below and next time you’re in NYC head on over to Rest Store you won’t regret it.
Slick box...
Very Nice

That shoe display is sweet!
Great post, been looking for a litte more info on the Rest store. Do you know approximately how much their shoes go for, like the Horsemouth shoes and the 6″ Work Boots?
