Hi I found this and am wondering more about it. It says "Bigsby &" on his shirt. Dated 1982. Didn't find any information online. Thanks!

Bigsby & Kruthers, one of Chicago's best known haberdashers, is attempting a comeback amid a deep recession that has many upscale retailers closing their doors.
The developer of the new mall at Block 37 announced Wednesday that Bigsby was one of five new leases recently inked for the project, which is to open this fall and is now about 55% leased. The shopping center has been in the news recently because of high-profile tenant defections.
One of the brothers that founded Bigsby, Joe Silverberg, is teaming up with retail veteran Jack Shniderman to revive Bigsby, which was founded in 1970 and later gained fame with Michael Jordan appearing in its ads. The chain went out of business in 2000.
