Brooklyn Streetwear: The Shops Outside the Feed

Brooklyn streetwear coverage tends to mean about six blocks of Williamsburg and whatever opened on Wythe last month.

Broadway, under the tracks

Tom Dick and Harry sits on Broadway where Bushwick runs into Williamsburg, on the stretch under the elevated J and M. That block has sold clothes for generations.

Canarsie, which nobody covers

Imax Fashions is on Rockaway Parkway, deep in the south-east corner. No fashion editor is filing from Canarsie. No brand's store locator bothers with it.

The Woodstack pattern

Three of the five Brooklyn stockists are Woodstack: Flatbush, Sheepshead Bay, Brownsville. One operator running the length of the borough, north to south.

What to actually buy

The Original Crown is the founding 9Fifty and the piece you are most likely to find on any of these five walls. One size, adjustable, no measuring.
