Mildblend Supply Co

Visiting from LA, was walking and decided to pop into this store because I noticed the raw denim they had in addition to the sick motorcycle they have in front. Tulip was extremely helpful and would definitely buy something here. Definitely going to check it out again, the next time I’m in Wicker park!

I’ve been here a handful of times over the last few years and always enjoy it. They carry a bunch of different designers that make some good quality clothing. The staff is friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and passionate.
Easily one of the best independent boutiques in the city, bar none, and one of the best denim stores I’ve been to in the US. If you’re looking for some good quality denim or some good quality button up shirts (not the type you wear underneath a suit) then definitely check the place out. Oh yeah and they hem your jeans for you on the spot for free with the purchase and you can watch it all. Pretty awesome.

High quality denim and super knowledgeable staff. I’ve purchased 2 pairs of jeans there and have been completely satisfied with everything. A salesman spent close to an hour with me trying out different brands an sizes for my last pair. Now I have top notch jeans I’ll wear for years and years. They also do repairs and alterations, again with the same attention to detail.
If you are sick of buying cheap jeans that don’t last and were made in sweat shops halfway across the world, check this store out. It’s more expensive up front because the quality is so much higher, and people are paid fair wages to make them. But they’ll last for years and the excellent service you get at Mildblend is just an added bonus.

Got my first pair of raw denim jeans from here and I will definitely return for more. The staff were very friendly and patient with me as I tried to fit my fatass in a few pair of jeans. The jeans I got are absolutely amazing and am very satisfied.

On line purchase was one of the best ever! An item was listed as in stock but then was gone before I hit the purchase button. Someone got the last one at their store before I could check out, soo… Mildblend dug deep and found 1 in stock at the original manufacturer! Awesome customer service! Thank you!

First time in, staff was super patient and not at all pushy in helping me find my first pair of raw denim. Bought and they hemmed in store for free (included with all denim).
Lots of great shoes/​boots and jackets too, including heavy hitters like Schott NYC.
Props to these guys for not making me feel unhip in Wicker Park. I will return…

I LOVE this store. They carry great, in demand brands. Stellar tailor in the shop. I always get parking so they are also great on the location column. of the ledger book. My son Max only buys jeans at this store.

Great denim selection and free hemming with purchase. They do killer repair work and always have a fresh selection of goods (Jeans, Hats, Packs, Boots, Shirts, etc,).

Great store. Friendly staff. As soon as I walked in I was helped. They have lots of high quality items besides jeans. I really like their leather goods and coats. I had a pair of my favorite jeans repaired in the crotch, and the stitch work was top notch and reasonably priced. He even reinforced the opposite side to prevent another hole from forming. I’ll be bringing back another pair in the future.

Great selection of higher end men’s clothing. Very knowledgeable and helpful staff. Tons of selection you can’t find anywhere else in Chicago.

This place rocks. I’ve gotten several pairs of jeans here, all custom-​hemmed. And everyone who works here knows their stuff and really cares about the products they’re trying to sell. You never feel pushed into a purchase — the salespeople will give you an honest opinion of what works for you and what doesn’t.
Also, they’re totally chill about girls buying raw. Can’t say the same of most places!
If the prices are off-​putting, hit up the sale racks — you can usually snag a pretty good deal. But also know that if you spend $ 250 on jeans there, you probably won’t regret it.

It’s not cheap, but then what you get is quality backed by a man that believes in every product he sells. That man is Luke. I cannot say enough good things about him. He’s very down to earth and wonderful to speak with. I’ve gotten my raws hemmed by him and it’s a marvel to see him do his magic. But he’s more than just a magician behind a machine. If only I had more money, I’d definitely patronize his location just on the fact that he sells quality items that he himself would wear. He’s one of Chicago’s best local clothing shops hands down.

Had a great experience buying denim here. Mildblend really knows how to take care of their customers! I was promised a free hemming service with a pair of denim I bought on 3÷29÷14 and they honored that promise almost a year later, no questions asked. Awesome customer service.
Justin was extremely knowledgeable and approachable — he was a huge reason for my good experience today.
Ps my first experience at this store was great as well, they really took their time to explain everything and help me try on several pairs to ensure a perfect fit.

Went in just to browse. Did not expect to come in and buy anything, but once I walked in I saw that they carried Canada Goose I knew my bank account was in trouble. They guy that helped us was really attentive and brought me a couple choices to choose from. After deciding on the style I had to decide between two colors and the guys there were honest about which color looked best. I did not get the coat I wanted last winter but this winter I am fully equipped.

This place is absolutely top notch. Especially if you are looking for denim. A ton of options of the best quality, employees are super attentive and know everything their is to know on the brands and fits. Know that you are buying premium denim, not for the designer name on them, but the quality. ($ 100-​$ 250) I have no issue with the price points, some might.
It took 10 minutes to get my pants hemmed (no charge) after getting them fitted and marked. I’ve never seen that before. The owner is usually doing the hemming and denim repair, he rocks.
The only little downside for me is that some of their tops (button downs, sweaters, etc.) are really trendy and ‘out there’ design wise. To each their own in terms of style, though.
No complaints, will be back for sure. All denim & pants will be purchased here.

The guys are SUPER helpful! Really like the jogger pants

Great store. A huge selection of stuff, very knowledgable and friendly staff. They’re at the high-​end of the denim/​heritage clothing market, and they make sure that you find the exact right pair of jeans that fit properly. They also hem without charge if you purchase at their store… as it should be at this price point.

By far one of the best places in Chicago to shop if you truly care about the clothing on your back. The knowledgeable staff has always been a huge help when I’ve been in the shop.
The past two times that I have purchased jeans from them, they were diligent to make sure I had the fit I wanted and needed. Even while helping the other patrons in the shop, they made sure that my time there was respected.
I have had denim repaired there four times, and the quality of the repairs are always top notch. You can barely tell that there was a hole on the back pocket of my favorite pair of Naked & Famous.
These guys are the real deal. Knowledgeable and friendly staff really make this one of the best shopping experiences you can have

Proof that big name department stores simply cannot compete with boutiques in terms of customer experience.
For years I always wanted a quality pair of raw denim with the goal to achieve a pair of jeans that not only provide a custom fit over time but also breaks in naturally. I’ve heard nothing but good reviews about Mildblend Supply Co and my shopping experience proves why. The staff was extremely helpful and because they are passionate about denim, they make sure you walk away with the best fitting pair of jeans possible. Finding the perfect pair is process of trail and error. The staff helped me try on about 10 – 12 different pairs of raw jeans from several brands before we finally came that perfect pair. At the price point for a pair of jeans I expected great service but the staff went above and beyond.
An added bonus is they will hem your jeans for FREE, which is a $ 25 service if you bought your jeans from anywhere besides Mildblend. Overall with their large selection of jeans and outstanding customer service, Mildblend Supply Co is the best there is in Chicago. I will no longer be purchasing my jeans from big department stores.

I just want to reiterate what Travis B. had to say: This is the only place in Chicago that has a chain stitch machine (Union Special). So when your jeans are hemmed, they will look exactly like there are supposed to. Chain stitch hem for jeans not purchased at their store is $ 25, they will hem on the spot in ten minutes. Great service.
With respect to jeans selection, large selection of Nudies and Naked and Famous. Medium selection of smaller US makers, like Left Field and Rogue Territory.
For Japanese denimheads, there were three stacks of Flat Heads, a stack of Iron Hearts (the 21 ounce denim), and a stack of Japan Blue /​Momotaros.
