class expenences

Stores sell variety
and versatility in
men's clothing
When you were little, a sure sign of the end of sum-
mer was going with Mom to buy a new dress for your
grand entrance on the first day of school. Times have
certainly changed. Put away the flowered dresses and
the patent leather shoes and stock your closet with
clothing that.serves a dual purpose - sleep and school.
This way you can push that snooze bar one more time
before your 9 a.m. class.
But who really came to college to go to class any-
way? For your more important educational experiences
- football games, parties, Halloween, job interviews,
and hanging out on the Diag - on-campus merchants
will fulfill your every fashion need.
LET'S GO BLUE
Welcome to the University of Michigan, where foot-
ball is king and an open display of school spirit is cool.
Not only is it acceptable to own a Michigan sweatshirt,
it is necessary to wear it to the Wolverines' spectacular
Saturday morning social events. And don't forget your
maize and blue hat, shorts, socks, pants, and earngs.
Over the next four years you are sure to amass
enough Michigan clothing to completely fill Mom's
washing machine during Thanksgiving.
While making the long haul from the dorms to the
stadium, you will encounter a bevy of bookstores where
you can purchase the standard Michiganwear - blue on
maize, maize on blue, blue on gray, maize and blue on
white, white and blue on maize, and so on. If you ac-
cidentally pass Ulrich's, don't get dispirited. You will
tackle Michigan Book and Supply or the Michigan
Union Bookstore long before kickoff.
For more exotic tastes, touch down at Moe's. Here
you'll find clothing and accessories perfect for doing
the Bullwinkle, throwing marshmallows, and - oh -
watching the game.

Fashion is an extension of your
personality. The diversity of culture
in Ann Arbor fosters a diversity in
the attire of University students.
Tiny boutiques to large stores - all
located within walking distance from
campus - assist in the clothing ex-
perience. If you are unfamiliar with
the Ann Arbor area, you should take
the opportunity to experience the
different shops and clothing. All
walks of style are represented on
campus, difficult to comprehend for
the sheltered personality. To aid in
the rigors of finding that perfect
outfit, use the following shopping
guide.
CLASSIC CASUALS AND SUITS
Carl Sterr (311 South State
street) - A quaint shop catering to
Eric's Action Sportswear (419
East Liberty) - Catering to the ath-
lete rather than the spectator, Eric's
has an array of athletic clothing and
equipment for the sports enthusiast.

and this store sells precisely the
clothing and equipment one needs to
bivouac. With a full collection fea-
turing Patagonia, North Face, and
Columbia, Bivouac also carries an
extensive range of footwear meant
for the rugged outdoors.
Stein and Goetz Athletic

tees and jeans to modern styles from Stussy,
Girbaud, and Dr. Martens.
KRISTOFFER GILLETTE/Dally

Tree dress displayed in the window during holiday time. For more subdued styles, check out Ann
Arbor's other fine stores.
Kerrytown shopping area has small-town flair
by David Shepardson
Answer: A great place in Ann Arbor
to go shopping or simply spend an
afternoon browsing.
Question: What is Kerrytown?
While the preceding isn't likely
to be a Jeopardy question anytime
soon, most students aren't aware that
Kerrytown exists. Kerrytown is a
modern-day version of the town
square - where more than 30 inde-
pendent merchants sell their goods.
An ideal time to visit Kerrytown
is on one of the two days of the
week that the Farmer's Market is
open - either Wednesday or
Saturday. (see related story) Or visit
the Artisan's market - where area
artists sell there work - on Sundays
May through December.
Kerrytown is set in three historic
buildings: the Luick, Godfrey, and
Market, and surrounded by cobble-
stone streets and a courtyard.
There is plenty to eat in
Kerrytown. There are several excel-
lent restaurants, especially Kerry-
town Bistro and Pastabilities.
Several Kerrytown bakeries special-
ize in specific types of baked goods.
Diamond Head Cafe sells Hawaiian
baked goods, in addition to a full
menu of other island dishes.
Doughboys' Bakery sells the best
chocolate croissant in town for only
90 cents, along with other traditional
favorites. Perk & Brew sells
gourmet coffees, including Mocha
Java at $7.25 a pound.
There are two deli's in Kerrytown
- Sunnyside and Kosmopolitan.
Both are fine, but walk one block
down the street and visit
Zingerman's Delicatessen. This
"real" deli has hundreds of sand-
wiches, baked goods (try the
brownies and chocolate chunk cook-
ies), and other gourmet food items.
Make sure you stop by Ascione
bros. produce market while you are
in Kerrytown. The produce store has
tons of fresh fruits and vegetables,
with something for everyone. From
fava beans -$1.69 per pound - for
the Hannibal Lechter in you to 89
cent giant pink grapefruit for the cit-
rus lover. These fruits and vegeta-
bles provide a tasty alternative to the
produce of questionable age served
in the residence hall dining rooms.
Monahan's Seafood is the
among the best retail seafood stores
in Ann Arbor. By flying in fresh
fish, Monahan's is able to provide
top-quality fresh seafood. Em-
ployees provide cooking hints and
marinades to go along with pur-
chases. Monahan's has a wide selec-
tion of fish from swordfish to soft-
shell crabs. And yes, it has salmon.
Partners in Wine and Cheese is
ready to make that romantic fall
picnic special. In addition to carry-
ing premium cheeses, it also sells
cookies, shortbread and other
gourmet foods. Employees are eager
to help you find that special bottle of
wine to make your evening without
killing your budget.
Dragon's Lair Futons sells of-
fice furniture, couches, and you
guessed it, futons. Occasionally Gift
Baskets sells baskets ideal for giving
to family and friends back home
after you've given everyone a col-
lege sweatshirt. Paper Mill sells a
wide array of cards and wrapping
paper. Yarn Expressions sells every
knitting item you could possibly
want from needlepoint patterns to
crocheting needles. Kerrytown is not
a stereotypical suburban mall with
identical stores, and pushy salespeo-
ple. Store owners know the names of
many regular customers. It is this
personal aspect of this neighborhood
market that makes a great place to
spend a lazy Sunday afternoon.
the professionals in Ann Arbor, Carl
Sterr offers a fine selection of qual-
ity suits with a smattering of casual
wear.
Marty's Menswear (310 South
State Street) - Specializing in
clothing for the traditional collegiate,
the selection of everything from ca-
sual wear to tuxedoes is incredible.
This is the place a green graduate
would go to purchase his first inter-
view suit. Marty's regularly gives
student discounts on suits and dis-
counts on tuxedo rentals and
purchases.
Camelet Brothers Company
(1119 South University) - This
shop is geared more for the estab-
lished professional than the student,
with a reasonable selection of tradi-
tional patterns in both suits and in
casual attire. Of the boutiques in the
campus area, Camelet rarely fits the
typical student budget.
Renaissance (336 Maynard) -
Located under the Tower Plaza,
Renaissance is a jewel for the
Gentlemen's Quarterly model. To
consult the latest in GQ, Renaissance
has the recent issues quickly avail-
able for browsing. Featuring the lat-
est fashion in suede blazers and
Swiss ties, Renaissance is again not
for the weak clothing budget.
Van Boven Inc. (326 South State
Street) - Van Boven offers tradi-
tional suits and casual clothing in a
friendly atmosphere. It also houses
its own shoe store around the corner
in Nickels Arcade with brand names
like Timberland and Cole Hann.

University) - Athletic clothing for
the intense Michigan fan adorns the
shelves at Moe's. Sweatshirts to fit-
ted hats, Moe's is the place for all
new Michigan students to visit. Take
your parents to Moe's when they
visit campus and want to take home
souvenirs.
for the long all-nighters and the
mundane trips to the library. All the
better to boast his allegiance with the
Michigan-adorned apparel.
State Street Sports (330 South
State Street) - This upbeat two-

the largest selection of ball caps on
campus. State Street is an excellent
place to find athletic footwear and

University) - Located on the bot-
tom floor of the Galleria,
Sportsmania specializes in clothing
sporting the emblems of many dif-
ferent professional and collegiate

URBAN CONTEMPORARY
Urban Outfitters (231 South
State Street) - Located in the now
defunct State theater, Urban has ev-
erything from basic tees and jeans to
modern styles from Stussy, Girbaud,
and Dr. Martens. Versatility is the
clothing game and Urban supplies
the resources. The atmosphere com-
bines rustic undertones with the big
city environment.
Jacobson's (305 Maynard) - A
typical department store. Need I say
more?
Ruby Tabu (215 South State
Street) -A vintage clothing store
with everything from blazers to ac-
cessories, if you are a thrifter. You

selection.

lifestyle. Shop here for tie-dye shirts
and clothing reminiscent of the early
'70s.
