Please join us in welcoming our newest 420 Magazine sponsor, Strange Cargo T-Shirts
In business since 1993, Strange Cargo is a Chicago based retailer specializing in t-shirts. Here is the Strange Cargo story:
Strange Cargo is a store in Chicago that has been pushing great merchandise through its door for over 25 years. Two neurotic brothers, Jay & Sheldon, have owned the store since 1993. When they first took over, the store sold mostly vintage clothes and shoes. Things were good but not great.
Then eight years ago the clouds parted and a light came from above with the message "make t-shirts." So after buying a shuttered t-shirt shop's inventory and taking some baby steps, Strange Cargo is now a full-fledge t-shirt shop. We offer hundreds and hundreds of design possibilities ranging from stupid to artsy to political and actually well back to stupid. We are constantly coming up with new shirts. If you have any ideas please let us know. Customers love picking the design, the style, and color of shirt that they want. We sell over 1500 shirts a week.
We also take pride in our "largest selection in the city" of Converse Chuck Taylors and old school Vans, women's clothing and neat stuff. In our neat stuff section you can find original trading cards from "Saved by the Bell," "Star Wars," and "Garbage Pail Kids."
The store is a crazy, frenetic and busy place. There is never a dull moment. On any given day you may encounter the local rap sensation, Sharkula, or The Great Ronnie Woo Woo, The Cubs' #1 fan. Strange Cargo's staff is what holds the place together. Without their devotion and commitment the place would fall apart in a heartbeat.
Forever customers have been saying, "you need a web site." So it took us almost 4 years to come up with what you have before you. We really would love your feedback in telling us what you like and don't like about it. Give it all to us. Thanks for checking us out and if you are ever in Chicago stop by.
Strange Cargo is located at 3448 N. Clark St., Chicago, IL 60618. They can be reached at 1-773-327-8090, or by email: questions@strangecargo.com. Take a look at their website Strange Cargo T-shirts and tell them 420 Magazine sent you!
