Calling All Contributors!

— Thu, 6th May 2010 —

The Beggar’s growing — from a mustard seed, sure, but growing all the same — and we’re looking for a few good men (and women?) to contribute all manner of content — product & store profiles, photography, opinion — so long as it aids our core mission of getting guys into better clothes for less money… and with fewer headaches. Applicants don’t need an NYC area-code; only a little drive and talent. Unfortunately, we presently lack the resources to compensate contributors with cash, but we can promise exposure, and a seat at the table of a budding enterprise. If you’re interested, drop us a line at contact @ thechoosybeggar.com.

Separately, we’re just beginning our search for a summer intern. Along with course credit, The Beggar offers a front-row seat to NYC startup culture; firsthand experience with the many tools required to run a “new media” company; and the opportunity to produce and publish original content. Applicants will need to be in the city — at least for the summer. Drive and talent helps, too. If you think you’re up to the challenge, let us know.

Hands On: Alexander West

— Thu, 6th May 2010 —

Mr. Alexander West is on a crusade to single-handedly rid the world of ready-to-wear dress shirts. This affable young banker-cum-custom shirt-maker spends his days doing one-on-one consultations with clients who’ve had it with billowing fabrics, unflattering collars, and inferior construction. Customers can also order online, or send in their favorite shirts, which West will gladly recreate ad infinitum. (West even created a video tutorial showing how to correctly take your own measurements.) Depending on fabric choice — which number into the thousands — shirts range from $100 to $150. A deal, sure, but — if West has his way — a revolution to boot.

Dramatic unboxing after the jump…
