Marc Engel of Oak Street store Chasalla is behind this Boystown boutique specialzing in casual menswear -- in fact, the store name is his first name spelled backward. Clothing highlights include deep, dark Japanese denim by Canadian line Naked & Famous, sportier cuts by Rock & Revival, fitted T-shirts, shorts and more. Engel has brought plenty of unique finds to the shelves here that you won't find elsewhere in the Chicago, such as braided leather and silver jewelry from Miami-based Cruz Azul and Australian underwear line Teamm8. Accessories range from PanAm bags to status sunglasses from Tom Ford, Gucci, Diesel. Customers interested in dress shirts and suiting need just mention the fact and the staff will bring in stock from Chasalla next-day.
Yes, this is Boystown, but Cram hasn't left the ladies out of the party. Shop a small selection including skinny jeans, rhinestone-embellished tops and daytime dresses.
