Transit Tees takes visuals from Chicago's metropolitan landscapes and transforms them into fashionable artwork. Founded in 2001 by Tim Gillengerten, a creative director who aspired to build an apparel line that reinterprets subway maps, street signs, city seals and flags in ways that the public had never seen before. Today, Transit Tees is an official manufacturer for the Chicago Transit Authority and locally designs, fabricates and retails their signature brand online and at three gift shops, including their flagship store in Wicker Park.
After years of hard work, vending at summer street festivals, Transit Tees was able to take an essential leap and open it's first retail store in Wicker Park at 1371 N. Milwaukee Ave. Since moving in, the neighborhood has seen an exciting evolution; with new bars, restaurants and clothing shops calling it their home and established businesses experiencing a new vibrancy. The Transit Tees store is stocked with t-shirts, hoodies, wall art, and gifts of all kinds designed to appeal to every Chicagoan and traveler alike. Many of the items in the store are produced on-site by the local artists and craftsmen and women that it employs.
Transit Tees pulls from its years of screen printing and industry experience to offer high quality custom apparel to local businesses, schools, and Chambers of Commerce. An extremely creative design team and detail oriented production artists have allowed for some amazing opportunities. Transit Tees has created original apparel designs for Morton Salt, Nori Sushi, Antique Taco, F&H Decals, Retro on Roscoe, SOFA Chicago, West Town Chamber of Commerce and many more.
