You've likely seen the likes of Stock Mfg. Co in places like Esquire, Refinery29 and GQ, and for good reason. The previously online-only men's clothing and accessories company has become known for its fashionable, well-made and reasonably priced designs, created in its local Garfield Park warehouse. The brand recently opened its new West Fulton Market storefront in April 2015, so you can try the quality goodness for yourself in the flesh. Because the shop is a bit off the beaten path, the brand made sure it's well worth the trip—delivering an unforgettable personal experience—half lounge, half shop. You can shoot pool at the vintage AMF table, and enjoy a complimentary brew or two, in addition to shopping the latest in menswear.
You might be hanging out in and around the West Loop to catch a game at United Center, and while it's no surprise to find lots of great restaurants and bars in the area, you're definitely going to want to check out the shopping scene too. The best shops offer fine men's suits, chic women's dresses, home decor, running products and more, so be prepared to drop some dough while you're downtown.
