About Us

Chimp, Established in1998, originally took inspiration from a fascination with the Planet of the Apes. Located in the Victorian built Thorntons Arcade, Chimp has risen from a small independent boutique to a nationally recognised and award winning independent store and has been a leader in its field ever since. Chimp is split over two floors, and stocks some of the most respected brands around from British, American and Japanese names in order to bring you the very best staples of men’s clothing.

We stock brands we grew up admiring amongst brands with history and new brands with new visions. We provide menswear wearable on any occasion, from a relaxing Sunday to a Saturday night in town.

During our 12 year reign we have continued to evolve and during the Autumn of 2010 we launched an added online store, thechimpstore.com. We endeavour to uphold all our customer service values and store ethos through our online store meaning you can feel as comfortable ordering online, knowing we will treat your order exactly the same as an instore purchase.

We don't aim, but do offer the best customer service possible, through our product knowledge and our manner. Our store offers one of the most relaxing places to shop in the North of England and will make anyone visiting Leeds feel welcome.
