Strange Cargo
Lonely Planet review for Strange Cargo
One of the coolest stores in Chicago for retro T-shirts and thrift-store-esque hipster wear, Strange Cargo also sells wigs, clunky shoes and leather jackets. Buy a vintage-style T-shirt, then use the iron-on machine to enliven it with a message or decal of your choice. There’s an excellent selection of kitschy ones featuring Mike Ditka, Harry Caray, the Picasso statue, the Hancock Center and other local icons – all supreme souvenirs.
