▸ The Culture Hub

Third space
on Milwaukee
Avenue.

EMB isn't just where you get a fade. It's where the block trades records, hooks up photographers with rappers, and argues about the Bulls between straight-razor passes.

Every tee we print is stitched to that room. The Corner Tee is what our head barber wore every Saturday for two years straight before we made it official.

Grooming. Fashion. Self-expression. It's all the same thing here.
