When it was announced that Shrine was splitting their third floor menswear mecca with Oak Street Bootmakers which will be naming the new endeavor Independence, we were told the collaborative shop would be opening on a sunny day in the middle of March. This Thursday is is slated to be that sunny day.
The shop which will take the front portion of the shop features all-new fixtures with a younger sensibility and a rugged yet well-tailord quality. Brands include all US-made products from Oak Street Bootmakers, Engineered Garments, Gitman Vintage, Imogene + Willie, and Post Overalls.
