On Thursday, the Downtown District gained a new contemporary menswear pop-up, Scout Men’s Store. Co-owners Catherine Champion, Jamie Boling and Jil Dasher welcome guests to the new space on Washington St. all night long.
Guests were treated to free beer and were able to get a first glimpse at the quality brands and exclusive collaborations that are available at Scout. This new store offers a revitalized “American authenticism” through many American-made brands and decor that references quintessential American icons.
