Since joining the Adrian Jules Team, his primary focus has been to create wardrobes for clients that provide them with timeless looks and gives them a variety of pieces that they can interchange for the most value in their wardrobe.
Rocco earned his Bachelor’s in Communications from St. John Fisher University in 2011. After graduation, he moved to Boston to join a startup menswear brand and led their expansion into DC, Chicago and Atlanta. From there, he owned and operated a dry cleaning business until 2022, when he returned to Rochester to join Adrian Jules.
Rocco enjoys spending his time reading and writing, usually with a coffee by his side. He loves visiting local coffee shops and fueling up on his favorite brews. You’re likely to find him at Midtown Athletic Club in the morning, lifting weights or playing tennis, and around a kitchen at night (either cooking for himself or exploring a new restaurant). Rocco lives in Rochester with his girlfriend, Gabriella, and their mini schnoodle (Enzo).”
John G. VanderBrook is a custom clothier, designer, father and what we call an Artist. Graduating college as a young design engineer, he then went off into the workforce. He became bored very quickly as a design engineer and decided to pursue a job in the stock market. As he grew in the stock world, he started getting more and more clothes from Adrian Jules. This made him realize designing clothing was what he loved most. With a design background and a desire for dressing brilliantly, he found his passion in custom clothing. In the back of his mind he always remembered what his father used to tell him “measure twice and cut once.” His father owned a construction company and implemented this into John’s head as a young kid. Today, he gets to work in a world that relies heavily on this golden rule.
John has been in the industry for 35 years. He started at Adrian Jules, but ultimately decided he wanted to branch out on his own. John went traveling the country and worked exclusively with professional athletes including football, basketball, baseball and hockey players. After 17 years, he decided he wanted to start a family and this lifestyle of traveling no longer suited him. He retired, but it wasn’t for long.
He was soon reacquainted with Adrian Jules and has now been with Adrian Jules for 17 years designing custom clothes for his clients (that he considers “superstars”). He is known best in the industry for his passion for individual style and of course being obsessed with fabric. He considers every piece he makes for his clients a work of art and his puppies. Show them off, but don’t hurt them.
John has a handful of sayings you hear when meeting him. The first is “BECAUSE YOU CAN.” In essence, he designs your clothing custom made for you and the style and details are up to you. Second is “JUST TRY.” He wants everyone to just try to dress for anything out there. You’ll feel great and you’ll look amazing. As he says, anyone can put on a hoodie. The third is “WHY WOULDN’T YOU?” As he is always a professional, he is always challenging clients to the next level – why wouldn’t you want to be the very best?
John is also known as a well-respected custom clothing aficionado, a longtime member of the CTDA and someone who knows all aspects of his business. The humorous part is, he is a single dad with two high school kids that do not care for the art of their Dad’s dressing or his expertise. His daughter graduates this year and heads off to college for musical theatre in the fall. He tells stories of his daughter not wanting to shop for her clothes with him and him saying, “Do you remotely know what I do for a living?” His son will be a junior next year and comes under one of his favorite sayings: JUST TRY. He is an amazing soccer player, however doesn’t care about dressing. His kids are the most important aspect in his life…next, are his client’s needs. After that, it is Harley’s, Snowmobiles, Golf, Volleyball, and Bourbon. On a side note, he has the best home-made Buffalo style chicken wings sauce in Rochester. In fact, he won a competition at Adrian Jules!
In conclusion, John is a very accomplished designer and stylist that is recognized around the country. He keeps a keen eye out for exclusive fabrics to come from Italy. This helps him make sure his clients are ahead of the game, while also having his client’s best interests at heart. This is his passion and because of this it is why he believes that if you just try, because you can and of course then why wouldn’t you.
