Ragstock Careers in Chicago, IL

Founded by Howard Weisskopf in the mid-’50s, Minneapolis Ragstock Co began as a place where you could find second-hand clothing from a faraway land, hand-picked by Howard as he traveled the world in search of unique items. He’d take interest in collections of all kinds of clothing—used capes from London; old army boots from Germany, for example—informed both by his previous work as an army quartermaster and overall interest in the growing world of recycled fashion.
