1 Stitch + Heart

The goods:Custom menswear. Stop by the West Loop headquarters to get fitted for everything from baseball jackets to tuxedo jackets, then get your new duds in the mail or pick them up within a few weeks.

The cause:Ten percent of customers’ purchases go to researching a cancer of their choice. A sewn-in tag bearing that cause serves as a reminder of the good deed.
