Style. Substance. Community.
May in Texas brings a shift to routines. Graduation and wedding celebrations begin to fill the calendar, patio dinners stretch later into the evening, and wardrobes naturally begin to shift into lighter textures, versatile layers, and refined ease. At your haberdashery, this time of year is more than simply a seasonal transition. It is about preparing for the moments that you’ll remember for a lifetime.
V. K. Nagrani Returns to Ken’s
Thursday, May 14th
1:30 – 7:30 PM
We are proud to be the exclusive Texas resource for Vivek Nagrani’s evolving vision through his Articl3 collection.
For one day only, Vivek himself will be in the shop presenting the newest seasonal essentials and discussing the future direction of the brand with our clients and friends.
This event will showcase core spring staples, including:
- Signature short sleeve polos
- The ranch pant
- Refined layering essentials
- Elevated casual pieces designed for modern movement and versatility
In addition, Vivek will also present an array of limited edition pieces available exclusively for try-on during the event. The special garments will be individually ordered and delivered the following week. This is your opportunity to preview styles rarely seen in traditional retail environments.
Even more exciting, he will be unveiling early fall releases that are currently in production, along with conceptual designs and future ideas still taking shape. Guests will have the rare opportunity to experience the creative process first hand while previewing:
- Jackets
- Knitwear
- Sweaters
- Scarves
- Outerwear
- Transitional layering pieces
This is not just any trunk show. It is a conversation about craftsmanship, modern dressing, and where menswear is moving next.
We will be posting a one-to-one video conversation with Vivek on our YouTube channel. This will give you an even deeper look into the philosophy and purpose behind the brand.
Justin Trewitt of Dapper Woodworks
We are equally pleased to welcome local Texan craftsman and entrepreneur Justin Trewitt of Dapper Woodworks.
Justin’s work reflects something we deeply appreciate at Ken’s – thoughtful craftsmanship, intentional design, and the value of building something by hand with integrity and pride.
He will be showcasing:
- Handcrafted wood products
- Gifts for Father’s Day
- Racks for the closet
All available for purchase or pre-order.
For those searching for meaningful gifts with character and a story behind them, this will be an outstanding opportunity to discover something truly distinctive.
Supporting fellow small businesses and creators has always been a part of our philosophy. We are honored to have Justin join us for the special day.
The Bill Hunt Scholarship Award
This past Wednesday, I had the privilege of presenting the Bill Hunt scholarship award to a graduating senior from the class of 2026 at Garland High School.
The recipient this year is a young man whose accomplishments extend far beyond academics alone. His involvement in NHS, student council, leadership, initiatives, and community engagement reflect the exact qualities the scholarship was designed to recognize.
The winner of the 2026 Bill Hunt scholarship is Jason Warren.
This award is intended for students who not only pursue excellence personally, but also elevate those around them through leadership, humility, and service.
Congratulations Jason! We look forward to watching your journey continue as you move into the next chapter of life.
The Importance of Formalwear
One of the greatest misconceptions in today’s market is that formalwear no longer matters.
In truth, it matters more than ever.
There are fewer opportunities in life to truly dress with distinction, which is exactly why those moments should never be overlooked. Weddings. Galas. Charity events. Proms. Black-tie dinners. Milestone celebrations. These are the moments photographed and remembered for decades.
We are your resource for everything formal:
- Formal loafers or formal shoes
- Tuxedo shirts
- Stud sets
- Accessories
- Rental formalwear
- Custom formalwear
Or do you simply need someone to finally teach you how to properly tie a bowtie? We are here to guide you through the process without question.
Our haberdashery continues to evolve because being a modern gentlemen requires versatility. Off-the-rack clothing. Custom clothing. Rentals. Sportswear. Activewear. Boots. Shoes. Hats. Accessories. Gifts.
The mission remains unchanged at Ken’s. We love helping our clients present the best version of themselves for every stage of life.
We look forward to seeing you on the 14th!
🙏🏻💜 Kory Helfman
