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 founder Nick Patterson’s grandfather Sol Kale, who started a small uniform company back in 1951 (Kale Uniforms) and grew it into one of the largest suppliers to the Chicago Police, Postal and Fire departments in the country. They even supplied the uniforms for a couple famous Chicago movies including Backdraft and the Blue’s Brothers.
Kale which is short for the old family name, Kaluzna, has long roots in the South Loop neighborhood. Nick’s Great-Grandfather had a tailor shop at 1250 S. Jefferson back in 1921. While, 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.
