Wicker Park, Bucktown & Ukrainian Village


Rack after rack of ‘70s bowling, Hawaiian and western-wear shirts, leather motorcycle jackets, cowboy boots and secondhand jeans (including big-name brands) cram this vintage shop. It's like someone raided a rock star's closet and put the contents up for sale. Alas, the goods don't come cheap, and the owner can be cantankerous with those who aren't serious about buying.
