If you're thin, this store will likely work for you. The maximum jeans size they typically carry is…read morea 34" waist (you might get lucky and find a single 36"). I asked whether larger sizes were simply out of stock or not ordered at all, and was told they generally only order up to 34". The team is friendly and the prices are reasonable. I've been visiting for years and have watched the space grow. That said, the lack of size inclusivity is disappointing. If you don't care about broader size availability and fall within their range, it may be worth checking out--the shop is well curated in theory. Personally, as someone who isn't thin, I likely will not return to a store that doesn't prioritize size inclusivity.

I walk in and have a rough idea of what I want, D is the employee that helps me. He led me to 3 different jeans that were approximately the cut I wanted and I tried them all on. As I was changing he politely asked me to come out and gave his opinions on the fit and helped me make a decision. He even continued to find other jeans in various sizes and brands as I was trying on the other pairs. I was given a quality of service I've never experienced at a clothing store before and he also hemmed my pants perfectly in 5 minutes. If anyone is in the area looking for high quality denim, this shop offers a bang for buck value with excellent service. I wish I lived here to shop here regularly.

Wow! I hadn't heard of Tori Grace Outfitters until I was wandering the Apple Fest this year. Her…read morestudio is just down the street from me (it's literally two or three blocks away), which makes me wonder what other gems are hiding within the industrial buildings in Ravenswood. First things first: Whilst she does have a studio at which you can shop (the address listed here), I don't think it keeps regular hours so you'll need to text or call to visit (number is also listed on this listing, or on her website). Alternatively, Tori Grace merchandise can be found at several shops in and around the suburbs, including Andersonville Galleria a few blocks away on Clark. You'll also find her at festivals and events throughout the city. The business began because she made some bows and headbands for her daughter, and it's certainly blossomed from there. Onesies, hats, coasters, t-shirts, hoodies, pillows... she's got a bit of everything. Most of it is Chicago-related, which makes for great souvenirs or gifts. I bought my Chicago baby a couple onesies (she's ready for her first Cubs game next season!), a hat for myself, and I was eyeing a couple of bolster-style pillows that I suspect I will own at some point. Prices are very reasonable and I love supporting a local business! At a local festival, I saw that she had her portable sewing machine out and was actually making additional items in between sales. If you're looking for gifts, items for yourself, or your dog (yes, she she has dog clothes!), you'll find some really great things at Toni Grace Outfitters.

I stopped in with my wife on a Sunday, and despite the store being absolutely packed, the level of service was nothing short of exceptional. Her salesperson was the definition of a professional: knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely engaging without ever feeling rushed. What really set the experience apart was the attention to detail; he actually recognized the specific pair of shoes I was wearing and lamented that the particular color had been discontinued by the brand. That kind of deep product knowledge is something you simply won't find at a big-box chain or an online warehouse. Beyond the expertise, their in-stock selection is impressive. Being able to walk in, get expert advice, and walk out with exactly what you need is a reminder of how retail should work. If you value a staff that actually knows their inventory and treats customers like human beings, this is the place to go.
