Both in the workplace and on the streets, men's casual wear is on the rise and UNTUCKit helps men of all walks of life find the balance between being comfortable and looking sharp.
Launched in 2010, this New York-based menswear brand offers a more practical and stylish alternative to the untucked T-shirt, presenting the consumer with flattering button-downs and flannels that can help men feel their best, while still dressing for success. The opening of UNTUCKit's Toronto-based store was celebrated with the help of one of the brand's most recognized investors, Canadian hockey superstar, Wayne Gretzky.
In an intimate Q&A session, Wayne Gretzky and UNTUCKit's founder Chris Riccobono, discussed the daily life of an entrepreneur, the importance of dressing for success and the future of the business. Wayne Gretzky's legacy of excellence aligns perfectly with the brand's values, making for a retail line that sits at the intersection of retail and comfort.
