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.
