Kevin Alejandro once again looking sharp and clean over Emmy weekend in The Santiago tie bar.
We had the pleasure of meeting this gentleman last Sunday and both he and his wife are now some of our favorite people.
Thanks to both Alejandro’s as well as stylist/friend/model Warren Alfie Baker for being GENTRY family.
Thank you goes out to our friends Kevin Alejandro of True Blood and stylist, Warren Alfie Baker.

Mr. Efron recently donned a new tie bar from GENTRY’s Salinger Collection at the premiere of his new film, Charlie St. Cloud.
He is the first to have worn this new piece, The Clean Feather, from The Salinger Collection, in stores Fall 2010.
Thanks to our good friend Jenny Ricker for her styling prowess.
This piece is not in stores until September 1, 2010.
For now, you can purchase from The Fitzgerald and The Hemingway Collections at:
We’ve always steadfastly adhered to the mantra of never “blowing ones load” prematurely, so we will take this global reveal slow and steady.
At the moment, we are diligently funneling our attention to laying out our Fall 2010 Salinger Collection look book.
Here is a sneak preview of things to come.
Yesterday we sat down over a beautiful home made lunch at The Alfred House with our friends Toni Torres and Min Young Lee to review the selects from GENTRY’s Fall 2010 photo shoot.
The selects proved to be stunning. Toni Torres captured the mood and aesthetic of GENTRY expertly.
The lunch also gave us a chance to get to know his fiance, Min Young Lee, a little better. She told us about her crazy days living in NYC working for top and brands such as Comme de Garcons among others. Her experience soon led her to Los Angeles where she has launched her eponymous line, Min Young Lee. Check it out HERE.

After a lot of requests from our buyers, we’re planning on breaking out our sets and selling our tie bars as standalone pieces.
GENTRY will be selling 4 tie bars as part of its Fall 2010 collection.
Here is a sneak peak of the tech pack of the packaging we will be using.
This week the GENTRY family is preparing to shoot our Fall 2010 campaign for our new season, The Salinger Collection.
The day started off with a walk through with our photographer, Toni Torres, on The Patron Express. Our pal Pam D. from Patron graciously gave us free reign to shoot on this beautifully restored original 1920’s train car that they run on Amtrak all across the country.
Afterwards, I swung by the jewelry district to visit Arsen, our jewelry manufacturer. He was literally in the middle of casting our masters and samples in his 8th floor studio.
The man has been casting and crafting jewelry for generations and is a master at what he does.
For the uninitated, the process basically entails:
1) Sketching the designs
2) Sketches into CAD files
3) CAD files are used to create wax molds
4) Wax molds are used to cast metal masters
5) From the masters, samples and production are casted
6) Plating and/or finishing
The Los Angeles Jewelry District is full of talented jewelers who have been honing their craft for generations. It just takes some great friends and mentors like Guillaume Pajolec of Han Cholo to help you navigate your way through the madness that is downtown LA.
Proper Grooming for a Gentleman 09/04/2010 by Mr. Sato
Here we give you GENTRY’s take on what we suggest should always be within arms reach on your bathroom counter top.
Baxter of California SKINCARE 1.2.3 – Cleanse, tone and hydrate your skin on a daily basis with a trio of products designed to balance and control excess oil production without drying facial skin.
Baxter of California CLAY POMADE – Styling clay for men’s hair. A blend of natural clay and wax gives hold and texture to hair. Leaves hair with a matte look.
Davines No 2 Mat Moulding Gesso – Another good alternative to Baxter’s Clay Pomade for strong definition and maximum hold with a matte finish.
Byredo Parfums BAL D’AFRIQUE – A warm and romantic vetiver inspired by Paris in the late 20’s and its infatuation with African culture, art, music and dance. A mix of the Parisian avantgardism and African culture shaped a unique and vibrant expression. The intense life, the excess and euphoria is illustrated by Bal d’Afrique’s neroli, African marigold and Moroccan cedarwood.
Baxter of California Candle – Jasmin Noir – “Flammable,” one in a series of three soy wax-based candles. Produced in partnership with Joya, a trailblazer in the home fragrance design industry, with packaging design by Marc Atlan. A pack of matches from Monocle also adds a touch of class and sophistication not found with your typical Bic lighter.
Chamberlain’s Pain Balm – And just for some perspective and history, these antique pain balm bottles from Chamberlain are the perfect addition to your counter top. The company was founded in the late 19th century but truly began to flourish with various products in the 1920s, particularly with their pain balm under the moniker, Chamberlain Medicine Co.
