What to know about Fat Tiger Workshop

Four designers, one storefront

Founded in 2013 by Joe Freshgoods, Terrell "Rello" Jones, Des Owusu and Vic Lloyd, who met around Chicago retailer Leaders 1354 and sold their own lines together.

The shop was the platform

The Wicker Park store on N. Milwaukee Ave. worked as a gallery and listening-party space as much as a place to buy graphic tees, hoodies and caps.

Closed in 2022

Fat Tiger shut its doors on January 9, 2022, after collaborations with Chance the Rapper, adidas Originals, the NBA and Spotify; anything you find now is past stock.
