The current situation with coronavirus (Covid-19) is negatively impacting everyone's day to day routine. We all have to do our part by following the guidelines set forth to try and slow the spread as best we can. We cancelled all plans prior to the full lock-down here in Chicago and will try to make the most of each and every day.
I reached out to the companies I've had the honor to work with over the past several years since starting @DapperProfessional on IG and my website. I wanted to share a little bit more about them with all of you in one place, so if you're doing any online shopping during this time, you can easily support several small businesses.
If you're a small business and want to be included on this list, please just contact me and I'd be happy to include you!

Mugsy Jeans
Mugsy Jeans is a men’s denim company based out of Chicago. Starting in 2016, the CEO couldn’t find jeans that fit him and the shopping process was grueling. He decided to take the problem into his own hands and started the most comfortable jean company you’ll find.
Mugsys look good and feel like sweatpants...seriously! Jeans are their core product, but they also sell chinos, long sleeve tees, and a blazer.

Groomsman Suit
The Groomsman Suit was co-founded by two childhood friends, Jeanne Foley and Diana Ganz in 2016. With no other options available to affordably outfit Jeanne's groomsmen in tuxedos for her 2013 wedding, she and her fiancé were forced to go the usual rental route only to be incredibly inconvenienced and disappointed by the pick-up/drop-off logistics, poor fit, and $250 per tuxedo price tag. The Groomsman Suit now offers wedding suits and tuxedos for men, women and children for under $200. The Groomsman Suit has offers a suite of services to help couples plan their wedding from home.
We also wrote this new blog post today because people with wedding dates in the next few weeks are scrambling to figure out what they should do. This is also a helpful list of wedding brands who also offer a free home trial of their products which is very handy at this point.

Eredita Shoes
The vision for Eredità Shoes came to Founder, Tyler Kirsch while walking through the streets of Florence on a mission to find himself a great pair of shoes. He came across beautifully handcrafted, Italian leather products on nearly every corner and spent hours in various shops. After hours of searching, he found just the pair at a small family-run cobbler shop.
Eredità Shoes is focused on bringing luxurious, handmade shoes from small family owned and operated shoe factories to the feet of men across the country at an attractive price point. The company’s shoemakers are being hit particularly hard during this time, and have shut down production.
