Gamma Player (wjk, lad musician in chicago!?!)

I had no idea a place like this existed right around the corner from my house. Chicago is so much of a wasteland for interesting brands, it came as a huge surprise when I finally got over there today. They had an amazing selection of international brands with sizing that finally isn't made for an 'american market'. There were a lot of lad musician Ts in stock (smoke) and a long white hooded coat + belts / ties, wjk soft pants and raw edge/textured Ts, a shirt/coat from them, and a western-type shirt too.

Aside from those brands though, there was a lot of other really interesting stuff from brands I had never heard of, some beautiful jackets and pants all with great materials, and some very expensive bags. I also asked her about carrying Julius in the future, and she said she'd see what she could do, after looking at their lookbook online and being impressed. I ended up getting two pairs of pants and a tshirt, and will probably go broke living next door. As far as phone orders, i'm not sure if they do them yet, (she said "maybe"). Definitly check this place out though if you're in/around town, i'd love to see them stay in business.

I don't see how having the sizing of garments not being fitted for americans is a plus for a store in america.

Because most of the men's boutiques in chicago don't carry smalls for most things, and there's a pretty good market for it =o

Oh right another terrible site that makes me want to punch in my monitor. Stupid flash-based sites.
