STORE:Brooklyn Circus
CITY: Brooklyn, San Francisco and Chicago
SINCE: 2006
FOUNDED BY: Ouigi Theordore
PRICES: $$$ (out of 5)
WHY WE COSIGN: The varsity/collegiate look is pretty big these days, but that doesn't mean Polo's Rugby store has to monopolize the game. Straight outta Bucktown comes the menswear shop Brooklyn Circus, which has a fresh inventory of Complex-cosigned brands like Maharishi and Cheap Monday and an interior decor that will remind you of an old-school barbershop. The store is great, but what's really catching our eye is BKc's just-launched debut collection, featuring preppy and refined pieces with a bit more edge than those from stodgier brands. Really, what else would you expect from Brooklyn?
BRANDS CARRIED: adidas, Brixton, Cheap Monday, Goorin, G-Shock, J. Lindeberg, Kangol, Maharishi, Nooka, Nudie Co. Jeans, Onie Denim/Bs United, Phaidon, Rich Yung, Sebago, Staple Design, Tachen, The BKc, Umbro by Kim Jones, and Vael Footwear.
