This multi-faceted men’s shop and creative space is located in the historic Third Ward neighborhood of Milwaukee, WI. Fun fact: it is home to the award-winning Third Ward RiverWalk and the Milwaukee Public Market. So, we’ve sold you on the area now hear us out on the boutique. Milworks features a well-curated selection of men’s apparel, footwear, apothecary, books, magazines and every doo-dah in between. Fair warning: this is the kind of place you can’t just leave with one amazing piece but rather five.

Previously established in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1932, the recently revived Velva Sheen has been a low-key cult favorite for the style conscious man who puts a high value on comfort and has an affinity for well-produced Americana. Made in the USA of domestic cotton, the now California-based label originally started off designing sportswear for teams, colleges, and universities, as well as producing apparel for the United States Marine Corps. While the brand remains true to its heritage, the fits of its thermals, sweatshirts, sweats and watch caps have been updated, and its tubular knit, two-pack, crew neck t-shirts have become perennial favorites.
