Every year has its wins, its lessons and the people who carried you through both. On Tuesday, December 16, 2025, Gentlemen's Factory gathered its members and friends to celebrate all three.

The 2025 Holiday Party took over SAINT Restaurant Bar & Speakeasy, an elegant room in the heart of the East Village, presented in partnership with JPMorgan Chase. The invitation promised great music, crafted cocktails and inspiring conversation, and an evening that would be a celebration of legacy, leadership and community, honoring the growth and impact we've built together in 2025. The room delivered.

The arrival

Guests came in under chandeliers, snowflakes and string lights and made their way down the long marble bar. Gentlemen's Factory "Gentlemen Still Exist" signs invited newcomers to scan and join, GF varsity jackets were on display, and books by members of our community sat on tables around the room.

The toast

Jeff Lindor, founder and CEO of Gentlemen's Factory, took the mic to thank the room for a year of growth and to look ahead to what comes next. Phones went up, glasses went up, and the room answered back.

Why it matters

Community is not built at one event. It is built over a year of cohorts, conversations, dinners and fireside chats, and then it gets celebrated in one room. The 2025 Holiday Party was a thank-you to everyone who showed up for Gentlemen's Factory this year, and a reminder of why we keep building.

Thank you to JPMorgan Chase, to SAINT, and to every member and friend who closed out 2025 with us.
