Menswear Resources Set for Westcoast Exclusive

Upscale menswear brands, including Nick Hilton, Jack Victor Ltd. and Bod & Christensen, will show what’s new for Spring ’08 collections at the Westcoast Exclusive trade show, set for Aug. 5 and 6 at the Embassy Suites hotel near the Los Angeles International Airport.

Two floors of vendors will be on hand for the event, featuring suits, dress shirts, leather items, denim and casualwear.

The show usually attracts upscale retailers from the West Coast. The show serves as a prelude to the biannual trade show’s Las Vegas event, The Exclusive, set for August.

Show producers and vendors will host an opening-night party on Aug. 5 at a yet-to-be-named venue in Beverly Hills.

Other companies expected to show include Cutter & Buck, Haupt, Gran Sasso, Hush Puppies, Jhane Barnes, Torras of Spain, Coppley Apparel Group, Charleston Khakis, Island Soft by Tommy Bahama and more.
