Nick Roy may have tried to put a spell on Bachelorette Desiree Hartsock last season, but now the professional magician is swapping his tricks for sewing tools. He's teamed up with John Allan's Men's Salon to bring a boy's club experience to Chicago (think sipping scotch while choosing fabrics) to creating one-of-a-kind clothes. The brand-new custom clothing outlet, The Gentleman's Cooperative, opened its doors as a pop-up inside John Allan's at 111 W. Jackson Boulevard last week.—Moira Lawler
