 Rush Wilson Limited 2011-8-17 TAKEN IN A New Film by Chris White http://www.rushwilson.com/blog/entry/taken-in-a-new-film-by-chris-white/ TAKEN IN\ A New Film by Chris White

Rush Wilson Limited had the unique opportunity to “dress the part” in TAKIN IN, a handmade feature film about a man who must spend a weekend alone with his estranged teenage daughter at a roadside resort. The wardrobe of the main character was carefully selected at Rush Wilson Limited.

Rush Wilson III helped customize each wardrobe selection to reflect the changes of mood for each scene played by the main character, Simon.  "As the story developed and plot grew so did the character’s personas. We were able to assist by having a wardrobe evolve as the main character evolved.  It was a lot of fun,” says Wilson.

TAKEN IN was written and directed by personal filmmaker, Chris White.  It was made entirely with cash and in-kind contributions.  The story (co-written with his wife Emily) was inspired by Chris’ theatre work with students at a therapeutic boarding school in Virginia.

 Rush Wilson Limited 2011-3-24 Wurkin Stiffs Magnetic Collar Stays http://www.rushwilson.com/blog/entry/wurkin-stiffs-magnetic-collar-stays/ On a recent trip to Charleston with my wife Amanda, we were getting dressed for dinner. I planned on wearing a blazer and one of my new custom, spread collar shirts without a tie. As we were ready to leave the hotel room, I put on my blazer and Amanda noticed that the shirt didn’t look as sharp as the button down shirt I wore the night before. My collar was not sitting up under the blazer. It looked flattened out and somewhat collasped. I looked in the mirror and told Amanda that this was the perfect example of the need for Wurkin Stiffs magnetic collar stays. Fortunately, I brought them on this trip.


This is how they work. You insert the metal stays into the stay pockets under the collar. Then place a very strong magnetic disc under the shirt so that it comes together with metal stay. Then adjust the position of the collar so that the collar stands up straighter for a crisper look


Once I inserted my Wurkin Stiffs, adjusted my collar and put my blazer back on, Amanda gave me her approval and we went on to a wonderful dinner at Fulton Five, one of our favorite restaurants in Charleston.


Wurkin Stiffs are available at Rush Wilson Limited. Priced at $35. They give you peace of mind that you will always look your best. 

 Rush Wilson Limited 2011-3-14 Allen Edmonds and Soles4Souls http://www.rushwilson.com/blog/entry/allen-edmonds-and-soles4souls/ Soles4Souls

Between February 21st and March 16th, Rush Wilson Limited is partnering with Allen Edmonds to collect new and gently worn shoes for Soles4Souls.

Soles4Souls was started by Wayne Elsey, a footwear industry executive, in Nashville, TN, in response to the Tsunami in Indonesia in 2005. Wayne, motivated to do something for the people of Indonesia, made some phone calls to other footwear executives for help and they raised 250,000 pairs of new shoes headed for the affected areas.

Then Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast and Wayne called the same people and this time raised 1 million pairs of shoes.

Soles4Souls collects, processes and grades shoes. Shoes in new or high grade condition are earmarked for distribution in the USA or abroad. Lower grade shoes are sorted and packed for distribution in countries such as Haiti, Tanzania and Honduros. They are also sent to microenterprise participants in those countries who clean and recondition the shoes to sell locally. This program provides a rare opportunity to impoverished people who would like to start their own business.

In the last 5 years, Soles4Souls has collected and distributed 12 million pairs of shoes. Their goal is to collect 11 million pairs of shoes in 2011.

We are partnering with Allen Edmonds and its 150 US retailers in one of the larget streamlined efforts to help Soles4Souls provide shoes to 300 million children and 1.5 million adults across the world who don’t have a single pair of shoes.

Between February 21st and March 16th, Rush Wilson Limited will be collecting new and gently worn shoes for men, women and children. As a thank you, you may save $35 on a new pair of Allen Edmonds men’s shoes. No purchase is necessary to donate shoes. All collected shoes will be donated to Soles4Souls who will distribute them to people in need around the world.
