When dreaming up the perfect place to open our first-ever men’s-only store, we knew there was no better location than out East. Enter: Bridgehampton, home since first opening our doors in August 1996.
Last week, we toasted to our curated collection of luxe classics, strong suiting, linen he’ll love, and conversation-starting motifs with old and new friends. Guests like Stephanie Covington of A Life Well Saved, R.C. Atlee, Tom Samet, and Team J.McLaughlin sipped on cocktails and cheersed to the Hamptons’ endless summer.
While there, we caught up with Hampton’s-native and Menswear Designer Hannah LaCava on where to find the best Lobster Roll (at its namesake), what is so special about The Men’s Shop, and more.

Why Are You Excited For Bridgehampton To Become A J.McLaughlin Men’s Store?
Overall, there needs to be a stronger menswear presence in the Hamptons.
This season, JMcLaughlin Men’s is all about exploring some of the original ideas and looks that has made the brand an American classic.
We are thrilled to have a full space to support the line which has emotional plaids, lots of color, and captivating prints.
