We are Local

A member of the Kale family has been located in the South Loop on Roosevelt Road since 1921. We are a family owned and operated business that knows the Chicago market and has seen both its ups and its downs.

Our History

Kale is the middle name of CEO Nick Patterson (third generation).  Nick’s grandfather, Sol Kale, started a uniform company back in 1951 (Kale Uniforms) and grew it into one of the largest suppliers to the Police, Postal and Fire departments in the country. They even supplied the uniforms for a couple famous Chicago movies including Backdraft and The Blues Brothers.

Nick’s great-grandfather had a tailor shop at 1250 S. Jefferson back in 1921.  In 2006 the city honored Sol with a street name right on the corner of Roosevelt and Jefferson for 84 years of continued support for the community.
