It seems masks will be a part of our wardrobe for the forseeable future. So I felt compelled to put together this list of local Chicago resources for masks.
Most of these listings are for small apparel businesses that have pivoted to maskmaking as a way to both help the community and stay viable. These listings are in no particular order! Please patronize them if you can.
Updates will be made to this page periodically (updated 5/23/20). Please email hello@thefairshirtproject.com if you know of a resource I should add to this list.
