🏆 From our Best of Chicago issue: Dearborn Denim offers great options in men’s jeans at surprisingly affordable prices ($75-$120) for a product made locally with premium materials. | ✍️ Kerry Cardoza
Clearly, Robert McMillan is not trying to make a quick buck. After leaving a more lucrative job in trading, he established“It was exciting to build an apparel manufacturer from the ground up. I had a bunch of old, beat-up sewing machines in an abandoned laundry and an idea that we could ethically manufacture great jeans right here in Chicago and sell them directly to customers.
Since then, we have upgraded our plant to a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility and are moving into our new factory in a couple of months,” says the 38-year-old entrepreneur, who currently employs 40 people. After closing a few stores during the COVID-19 pandemic and facing other challenges with the business, Dearborn Denim still keeps going strong. “Our store in Andersonville does amazing. I believe we will start expanding our retail footprint again in 2024,” McMillan says.
