Put this in the "Ask & ye shall receive" category: Renowned Designer Joseph Abboud to visit Birmingham & Host Launch Party at Belk

We have long LOVED the crisp, clean lines of designer Joseph Abboud's menswear and were entranced by his book, "Threads: My Life Behind the Seams in the High-Stakes World of Fashion."

And we were just wishing and hoping that more menswear style events would happen in Birmingham.

And what happens? Belk announces that Joseph Abboud himself is coming to Birmingham to host a launch event for his Black Brown 1826 line! Details below:

Award-winning designer & noted author Joseph Abboud will be in Birmingham May 24 at 6:00 pm - 9:00 p.m. at Belk Riverchase Galleria to host a launch party for his Lord & Taylor line "Black Brown 1826."

In conjunction with Lord & Taylor, 61 Belk stores and Belk.com will carry the exclusive line that includes an array of shirts, shorts, blazers and denim that has been especially merchandised with the Southern gentleman in mind.

Did we mention it's a party?

• Craft Beer tasting provided by Olde Mecklenburg Brewery
• Appetizers and wine from B & A Warehouse
• Authentic Cigar Rolling demonstration provided by My Cigar Roller
• Complimentary cigar for the first 50 attendees
