Are you CTA stylin'? If you want to rep for the rails and routes, take a spin through today's "Going Public" and learn all about designers creating CTA-focused fashions. Here are some links to the sites where the products are being (or about to be) sold:
thatsmystop.com-Check out the two bros (pictured) who run the site, Nick and Justin Miles as they rock a couple of their items.
leaders1354.com- keep your eyes peeled for CTA sneakers that will come out in a limited edition -- only 150 pairs total. Very cool with system maps on the soles.
"Going Public" prefers these products to what the CTA sells on its site, including a very gaudy "Don't Be Jack" hat. I know they are more for nostalgic purposes, but I wish Project Runway's Tim Gunn would call CTA Prez Ron Huberman and tell him "make it work" when it comes to transit fashion.

I love the "that's my stop" T-Shirts! My 35/Archer orange line shirt is on its way at the moment.
Maybe I should do this on my own, but since I know I never will...how about bus line shirts?
"GP" SAYS: Great idea, Denise. Hope the bros check out this post and get it started. It would be a lot of work, I'm sure. Maybe it could be one of those T-shirts like a roller coaster: I Survived the "(Insert Hellish Route Here)".
Posted by: Denise | Jul 15, 2008 11:38:57 AMThe MTA in New York has a great line of t-shirts that are simply the MTA symbol for the stop. Here is an example:

I think it would be cool for Chicago to come up with it's on version of these. Maybe I should do it?
Posted by: James Yeater | Jul 15, 2008 1:44:56 PMThey have shirts like this in NY for a while. How about the Brown Line's Quincy shirt -- the font actually matches the special sign at that station. Nice touch. They should try these as hoodies.
"GP SAYS": I really love the hoodie idea. Great idea for the fall collection.
Posted by: Morgante | Jul 15, 2008 3:36:19 PMThanks for the kind words! I'm Justin Miles, I started thatsmystop.com. There will be hoodies and long sleeve Tees come fall! We may also experiment with kid's tees and onsies soon. Keep an eye out!!
