Having heard the buzz around Haberdash Men’s Shop, I’d been planning to stop by for a while. I finally got my chance last week, and I definitely wasn’t disappointed.
I got to spend a good amount of time chatting with Adam Beltzman, the owner and manager of Haberdash. Adam’s vision is simple: he realizes that guys in Chicago aren’t looking at the label (for the most part). They’re looking at the style, the fit, and most likely the price. Adam takes a similar approach in his vision for Haberdash. Instead of worrying about what big names they’re carrying, Adam concerns himself with what looks good.
But that’s not to say they aren’t carrying some great labels. On the same rack you’ll find Gitman Vintage, Gant, and Rag & Bone, alongside their own private line of shirts in collaboration with Gitman Bros. Not to mention some fantastic offerings from Timberland Boot Company and Tretorn, amongst others.
Haberdash also has custom suits, a loyalty program, and just about everything else you could ask for in a men’s boutique. Keep your eyes on this one, guys. I know I will.
Below are some photos I took on my field trip, or you can check out the full set on Flickr.
