Launched in 2005, Deux Lux is the combined vision of Fati Mahdavi (aka “Mama”) and Sara Naghedi. This multi-generational team created a timeless line and found quick success. From sparkles to studs, neon pink to purple lined clutches, Deux Lux will have people stopping you on street to ask where in the world you got that amazing bag from. Pure awesomeness.
Mission Workshop’s weatherproof backpacks are versatile, adept, and eager to carry your life. Even better is that these bags are Made in the USA with a lifetime warranty. Mission Workshop is my new favorite cycling bag and really stands out. Don’t get me wrong, I still love Chrome, I still have three Chrome bags…just seems like everyone else in Chicago does too!

September has finally arrived, and with that we say a tearful goodbye to the last remnants of summer and say hello to that crisp fall feeling. Fear not, Belmont Army is here to help ease the pain with new shipments of jackets, denim, flannels, and more coming in every week.
This week we received the fall line of Gentle Fawn, our favorite piece is the “Cosmopolitan” skirt in black.
Debuting it’s first line this year, Civil Smith describes itself as “American Heritage,” which seems fitting considering the focus on plaids and flannels that appear reminiscent of the old days.
Don’t worry, guys, we didn’t forget about you! More RVCA shipped in this week including denim by both Leo Romero and Kevin “Spanky” Long, plaid flannels, and reversible jackets like the one picture below in red and blue.
We also recieved a large shipment of Property Of bags including over the shoulder messenger bags, trip duffle bags, laptop carriers, and backpacks! This unique collection has something for everyone, one of our favorites being the Carter Day bag.
Whatever September has in store for you, we’ve got you covered! Come by either location to get yourself prepared for that fall feeling that’s quickly approaching.
The 4th Floor of Belmont Army is stocked with all sorts of bicycle gear, including wool Italian cycling jerseys, caps by Walz Caps, and an array of bags and apparel by Chrome including, including a wide variety of messenger bags, utility bags, laptop bags and backpacks.
I hear that some city colleges require you to start the Fall Semester already prepared with a Powerbook, a Sigg waterbottle, an iPhone, #2 pencils, and an eighteener of Tecate. You don’t want to be caught a backpack that just isn’t up to the job. Try the Chrome Backbone!
Chrome’s classic messenger bags like the Citizen here all come with equipped with Chrome’s iconic belt buckle straps, so that when rushour drivers start giving you shit on the street, you can quickly unlatch the bag and throw down
And then there’s the Warsaw. This bag is bigger and more bad-assed than you will probably need for school. Of course, if you do, we’ve got it
We’re also really excited to announce that as of this week, we’re carrying Chrome footwear on the second floor.
