The Company Description of Its Time
Jimmy Jazz debuted its first store over 20 years ago, historical descriptions say - counting from the filing's own period - when President and Founder James Khezrie noticed an increasing demand for popular menswear in New York City. Brooklyn-born, and written with natural entrepreneur spirit and a vision, Khezrie opened the first Jimmy Jazz store on Delancy Street in Manhattan. Even the name is a piece of the founder's taste: the store was named after his favorite song from The Clash, the punk rock group from the late seventies - a clothing chain named for a song, which fits a business built on music-adjacent street style.
The Brands on the Racks
A Jimmy Jazz store, in the historical record, features premier lifestyle brands including Rocawear, Akademiks, Baby Phat, Coogi, Adidas Originals, Creative Recreation and Nike, to name a few. That list is the urban and streetwear canon of its period - hip-hop-born labels beside global sportswear - and the stores receive apparel and footwear daily from designers who are creating the hottest styles and colors, providing an ever-changing showcase of the newest fashion available for men, women, and kids. Daily delivery is the operational heart of the profile: the assortment is the attraction, and it changes constantly.
The chain sells men's and women's clothing, the historical record notes, with kids included in the showcase - a family streetwear offer rather than a single-demographic boutique. Just like the retail stores, the web store at JimmyJazz.com strives to bring the latest in-demand brands to shoppers online; the site is updated on a daily basis with the most current urban lifestyle content available, making it, in the filing's words, an all-in-one destination for shopping and entertainment. Shopping and content under one roof is the same formula as the stores: new product daily, culture attached.
