@untucked - those better be indigo dyed socks. Actually, the socks were the biggest PITA! Silky nylon bullshit!t that's so slippery, making it difficult to walk in the shoes |

Was in Chicago over the weekend and spent some time walking Michigan Ave.
Observation, workwear is dead as fashion. Little to none in stores, I saw no one else wearing a western shirt, only noticed one other guy wearing work boots.
Best shop - independence . Only place I've seen were you can put hands on all OSB models.

Only place I've seen were you can put hands on all OSB models. workwear has typically been a niche segment of the overall 'fashion' realm. that said, i wouldn't necessarily go by what you'd see on Michigan Ave. the area is tourists and business folk through the week, and mostly tourists on the weekends...filled with large chain 'known' and a few higher end shops that cater to those crowds. independence is nice small shop, though pretty limited in selection. the best shop in the area is mildblend. it's a few miles northwest of where you were at independence. they have an impressive denim selection, boots from chippewa, alden, thorogood, truman (maybe others?), and a variety of jackets, shirts, bags, etc. wandering around the area you'd have been more likely to see people wearing boots, westerns, raw denim, etc...balanced with a fair bit of hipster overtones. |

Don't know the wicker park area. We usually spend most of our time there in the western suburbs. I'll try and get over there some time. I just figure when you get that many people in one area that enjoy shopping you have a pretty good cross section of styles. Overall I like oak street, reminds me a little of Newbury st. In Boston. |

Mildblend and Notreshop are the two I want to visit when I go to Chicagoland. |
