The downtown crowd of sceney skaters and hip fashionistas hardly ever needs a reason to hit Lower East Side hot spot Ray's on any given night, but this week, Filson and Stillwater gave them one anyway.

To celebrate their new merch collaboration, available for purchase at the Filson Flagship in Flatiron, the brands joined forces to host a barbecue and bluegrass-filled bash at the divey hot spot. 

Attendees including Eli Brown, Kathryn Gallagher, and members of the TikTok-famous bro posse that's come to be known as the "East Villains" packed into the party dressed in Filson gear to crack open cans of Stillwater beer and munch on bites from Hometown Bar-B-Que pitmaster Bill Durney. They were joined by social scene regulars like Charly Sturm, Elise Taylor, and PR queen Savannah Engel, who never fail to bring some glam.
