This sounds really good. American made I like that.
Is the store open? the site is not working.. Great idea!
Well,
The store had a grand opening so,it should be open. I tried to got there myself and you’re right,it doesn’t work. It must be a server problem or some other glitch. There is the Indian Larry website, You might try and contact them there. Thanks for the heads up. I am sure they will like to know that you are trying to visit.

HMMM…strange that this sounds exactly like Smith + Butler in the Carroll Gardens area of Brooklyn. My favorite shop in all of New York City that opened last fall. Upon further examination it IS an almost identical rip off of Smith + Butler down to the same exact helmets, wool shirts (color patterns and all), gloves, pants, vests…and they are doing art work as well? I want to assume that this lady has similar taste in clothing and apparel – because if she didn’t – it would be safe to say that she walked into Smith + Butler, took precise notes of everything in that shop and then went ahead and made an identical order. Is there room for two of these stores in Brooklyn? I suppose since her shop is in the quasi desolate, still growing hipster ‘hood – and Smith + Butler is on the unique Smith Street where there are plenty of places to have a beer, eat some amazing food, shop in the various, privately owned stores and walk freely. Why not check out both places and decide for yourself.
