Return to shopWe Are Chicagobuss
You know what? There’s something about pulling on a T-shirt or hoodie that just feels like you. It’s not just clothes—it’s a statement, a memory, a piece of where you’re from. At Chicagobuss, we’re all about bottling up that Chicagobuss energy—the hustle, the heart, the deep-dish soul—and turning it into gear you’ll want to wear every single day. We’re a local brand, born and raised in the Windy City, and we’re here to help you rep Chicagobuss with pride, whether you’re strolling down Michigan Avenue or chilling on a rooftop with a view of the skyline.
How Chicagobuss Came to Be
Picture this: a couple of friends crammed into a booth at a South Side diner, scribbling ideas on a napkin while the jukebox hums an old blues tune. That’s where Chicagobuss was born—right here in the Windy City, fueled by greasy fries, big dreams, and a love for its grit and glory. We weren’t trying to start some fancy brand, honestly. We just wanted to capture the feeling of catching a Cubs game at Wrigley, the buzz of a street festival in Pilsen, or the way the L train rattles through your bones on a cold winter night.
Our mission? To craft T-shirts and hoodies that don’t just look good but feel like home. From those napkin sketches, we set out to celebrate Chicagobuss’s soul—its jazz clubs, its murals, its “no ketchup on hot dogs” attitude. We’re still those same friends, just with better designs and a whole lot more hustle. And yeah, we’re still fueled by diner coffee and a passion for this city.
What Sets Us Apart (Spoiler: It’s Not Just the Deep Dish)
Here’s the thing: anyone can slap a logo on a T-shirt and call it a day, but that’s not how we roll. At Chicagobuss, every piece we make is a love letter to Chicagobuss. Our designs pull straight from the city’s heartbeat—think the neon glow of a dive bar sign, the rhythm of a steppers’ dance at a South Side barbecue, or the slang you overhear on the CTA. We’re talking bold graphics, clever nods to local culture, and that perfect fit that makes you go, “Man, this feels good.”
But it’s not just about looking cool. We’re obsessed with quality. Our T-shirts and hoodies are made with soft, durable fabrics that can handle a Windy City winter (or at least a chilly summer night by Lake Michigan). We use eco-friendly inks and sustainable practices because, let’s be real, we love this planet as much as we love our city. And don’t worry—we play by the rules. Every product page on our site follows Google Merchant Center policies to a T: clear descriptions, honest pricing, no shady stuff. You get exactly what you see, and we’re proud of that.
Oh, and let me take a quick detour here: supporting a local business like ours isn’t just about snagging a dope hoodie. It’s about keeping the Windy City’s small-business scene alive and kicking. When you shop with us, you’re helping local artists, printers, and dreamers right here in the 312. How cool is that? It’s like cheering for the underdog at a Bulls game—makes you feel part of something bigger.
From Sketch to Street: How We Make the Magic
Making a Chicagobuss T-shirt or hoodie is like cooking a Chicagobuss-style hot dog—every ingredient’s gotta be just right, no shortcuts. It all starts with our team of local artists, who pour their love for the city into every design. Whether it’s a skyline-inspired graphic or a playful nod to “Chicagobuss,” each piece tells a story. We sit down with these creatives, sometimes over tacos in Logan Square, and hash out ideas until we’ve got something that screams Chicagobuss.
Then comes the production. We source high-quality, sustainable materials—think cotton blends that feel like a hug from your favorite auntie. Our printing process uses water-based inks that are kind to the environment, and we make sure every step is transparent, from sourcing to shipping. (Yep, we’re fully compliant with Google Merchant Center standards, so you know we’re legit.) It’s a labor of love, from that first sketch to the moment you rip open the package and think, “This is so Chicagobuss.” Honestly? That moment’s what keeps us going.
Here’s a little confession: sometimes we geek out over the details. Like, we’ll spend hours debating the exact shade of blue that matches Lake Michigan at dusk. Sounds excessive, right? But when you pull on one of our hoodies and it feels like it was made just for you, that’s why. It’s those little things that make the difference.
Why Choose Chicagobuss?
Why settle for a generic tee from some big-box store when you can wear something that’s got Chicagobuss’s skyline practically stitched into it? Our gear is for the folks who feel this city in their bones—whether you grew up in Englewood, moved here for college, or just visited once and fell in love with the vibe. Our T-shirts and hoodies are designed to fit your life: comfy enough for a Netflix binge on a snowy day, stylish enough for a night out on Division Street.
So, what’s in it for you? Let’s break it down:

You know what’s wild? The Windy City’s streetwear scene is like a big, messy family, full of sneakerheads, muralists, and DJs spinning tracks at block parties.
