OXXFORD JOURNEY COMPLETE

WHEN I VISITED OXXFORD IN CHICAGO (FOR MY ESQUIRE SHOW ALTERNATE ROUTE) THEY WERE KIND ENOUGH TO BUILD ME THIS JACKET FROM SOME BEAUTIFUL DEAD STOCK FABRIC THEY HAD. WELL AFTER SOME TWEEKS AND TIME IT IS HERE. I HAVE BEEN WEARING IT REGULARLY AND BREAKING THE OLD BOY IN. IT IS DEFINITELY THE ARGUMENT FOR BESPOKE. IT FITS AND LOOKS GREAT.

BESPOKE OXXFORD

THIS JOURNEY WITH OXXFORD STARTED A FEW MONTHS AGO WHEN I TOOK MY SHOW, ALTERNATE ROUTE TO CHICAGO AND TURNED THE CAMERAS ON THIS GREAT INSTITUTION OF AMERICAN MANUFACTURING. THE GANG AT OXXFROD WAS GENEROUS ENOUGH TO COLLABORATE WITH ME ON THIS CUSTOM JACKET WITH FABRIC FOUND IN THEIR ARCHIVES (A KILLER CASHMERE /WOOL BLEND). MY FIRST FITTING PROVED TO BE GREAT AND NOW I PATIENTLY WAIT FOR THE FINISHED PRODUCT. STAY TUNED.

MR.BEEF

MR. BEEF IS A VERY SPECIAL PLACE THAT IS NOW A PART OF MY REGULAR CHICAGO FOOD STOPS. THE BEEF IS SLICED THIN, SWEET AND HOT PEPPERS ARE ADDED AND THE WHOLE HERO IS DUNKED IN BEEFY BROTHY GOODNESS. HEAVEN.

GET THE HOURS RIGHT. THIS IS NOT A LATE NIGHT JOINT.

THOUGH IT SHOULD BE...

MARKET SUPPLY

JUST WHEN I THOUGHT CHICAGO WAS A WASTELAND OF ANY GOOD VINTAGE SHOPS I WAS INTRODUCED TO MIKE AT MARKET SUPPLY IN THE PILSEN NEIGHBORHOOD. THERE IS GREAT STUFF HERE, WELL EDITED AND PRICED RIGHT.
A MUST VISIT WHEN IN THE WINDY CITY.

 MIKE HAS SOME BARBER SKILLS AS WELL.

THE CHAIR IS IN THE BACK OF THE SHOP
