For the uninitiated, Stakeout is the brainchild of the same people behind Loop Garms, but both shops differ drastically in their offerings. Located just a few doors away from each other, Stakeout boasts a wider variety of vintage clothing, such as cargo pants and skirts, leather jackets, and dungarees, on top of the usual graphic T-shirts. It also has a 3-tier pricing system where you save more on each piece when you buy more.
