It’s all in the name: Need Supply Co. has all the wardrobe staples a discerning gentleman may need. What started out as a Levi’s Denim retailer in the 90’s has grown to become a multi-faceted curated collection of unique but simple menswear items. The Richmond, VA based retail space is urban and utility-inspired with a minimal feel.
If you like rugged, comfortable clothing, right this way. If you like structured, classic pieces, they’ve got you covered. If minimalistic, utilitarian pieces are what you need, look no further. Need Supply has it all – and you’ll be sure to stand out.
Let’s get shopping at Need Supply:
Who started it
Chris Bossola and Gabriel Ricioppo started Need Supply Co. in 1996 as a way to use their interest and experience in the arts in a tangible way. Fast forward 20 years and it has expanded into a creative team of 40 visual artists that work together to form the over-arching aesthetic that has become the brand we love to love.
Who it’s for
He’s looking for quality. Thoughtfully curated pieces are his focus. Interesting brands draw him in. The Need Supply guy is “seemingly normal, yet deeply design oriented and culturally conscious, as well as thoughtful towards his attire. He values a well made product over fashion trends, likes discovering hard to find brands and is open to evolving his style,” says Creative Director, Gabriel Ricioppo.

Awww yeah! Love the outerwear selection of these guys! And that Loop Jacket featured totally rocks! Put it with a duck insignia, which is my spirit animal, and it makes it all the more inspired! Which makes me think, I’d probably want to get a bomber with a Union Jack flag at the back. ????????????????????????????
Bomber jackets are always great but the personal touches really make them stand out.
They’re not unique but my two favorite essentials are my Levis denim jacket and my black with red tartan lining harrington jacket.
Both solid options!
My essentials are my chinos in a variety of colors. They’re comfortable, they fit well, and they’re so easy to pair with so many things.
Is there a particular brand or brands that you wear? I’m trying to build a better semi-casual/not-boxy set of pants/chinos and having trouble straddling the line.
I like J Crew and J Crew Factory.
I live near by and have been in a few times. They do have some nice looking stuff and the store design matches the hipster area well. The prices are not for the frugal though. I think that for what you get, it’s a little high priced. But, it costs money to be beautiful!
Interesting POV, thanks for weighing in @disqus_MoBeTLpQvi:disqus. Do you have anything from the store in your closet at home?
ahhhh I see they are Canadian. Sweet
