The one stop I had to make while I was in Chicago was to Leaders1354, another company who have contributed to both of Fitted Nation's giveaways. While brands like 10 Deep, Jordan and Nike along with various trainers are available, the focus is on their in-house brand, whether it be tees, hoodies or fitteds.
Leaders isn't just a store but a spot dear to the community where you can hang out and chop it up with the guys, you may even see a celebrity or two. While out there I grab a few of the throwback pieces Leaders have available, pics of those will be up on Fitted Nation's Instagram page soon.
Shout out again to the Leaders fam for taking care of me while I was out there!

Saint Alfred

While in the Chi I went out to Wicker Park to visit Saint Alfred. One of the companies that contributed to Fitted Nation's second anniversary giveaway I had to make sure I checked out the store. As well as their own label St. Alfred offer customers a range of footwear and brands including Acapulco Gold, Undefeated and Bounty Hunter, their latest addition from Japan.

Jugrnaut

 I've been quiet for a couple weeks but I'm back after a recent trip to the Windy City, Chicago where I visited streetwear boutique Jugrnaut. Situated in The Loop on Dearborn Street, Jugrnaut sell a range of brands including 10 Deep, Black Scale and Staple as well as their own in-house label. The store isn't that big but they make use of as much space as possible. I didn't manage to cop any fitteds, none were available in my size but Jugrnaut are due a new fitted (fingers crossed). A great spot definitely worth a visit.
