When Threadless started back in late 2000, it only existed online. Well, in September 2007, that all changed! Starting in our hometown of Chicago, we've opened our first-ever official Threadless STORE! Amazing!

Why a store? A zillion reasons. Most of them revolve around ideas we come up with for giving back to the Threadless community and not having the staff, resources, venue or time to make happen. Ideas like teaching design classes, hosting galleries with Threadless artist's work, having real-world group critiques and other various events.

Another big reason has to do more with our product. We've been quite selective with which shops carry Threadless product and have even turned down some big-box retailers. Our reason for doing so is twofold. First, our product line changes every week and most retailers are not equipped to handle change that fast. Second, the story behind each of our products and who creates them, how they are created, scored and selected for print often gets lost in a traditional retail environment. Our tees lose some of their specialness and become just another tee on the shelf.

So, here it is! Stop on by, learn something, get inspired and enjoy the art of Threadless with us!
