Or check out the $5K leather jackets at Jil Sander in Chicago (if you ask me, their featured model is a little Minority Report-creepy though).
But if you happen to live in any small town gems like Sandpoint, Idaho or Black Mountain, North Carolina, you’re apparently plum out of luck. There’s no shopping to do there, as far as GQ would tell it.

Playful poking of big city fashion snobs and small towners aside, make sure to check out GQ’s interactive view of city shopping. It really is pretty cool. If nothing else, it may give you some ideas of where to move. For me, I think I’m moving to Portland to check out the men’s denim at Nolita.
