The Chicago thread - local recommendations, trunk shows, goings-on, etc.

Do you guys have any recommendations for SWD shops besides Independence and Machus? I’m also looking for Japanese magazines like Lightning, 2nd, and Popeye and know that Independence and Kinokuniya carry them. Any other places I should look?

Mildblend is good

Thanks for the recommendation. Definitely a cool shop and they carry a few brands I haven’t seen in person, like Peregrine and Shangri-La Heritage. Plus, they are having a Hiroshi Kato trunk show, which was interesting to see. The rep was trying hard to get me to buy some stretch denim. Not gonna happen 😅

Any recc menswear shops to get a classic peak lapel tuxedo for my wedding? Was going to check out Ralph Lauren to try on the Purple Label and Todd Snyder. Budget is $1500-$2500. Any other spots I should check out? I also welcome any shoe recommendations was considering making the trip to NYC to Belgian Shoes budget

Richard Bennett might be able to get you in an MTO tuxedo in that budget. Dashing is a great shoe store downtown.
