Shad DeLacy has led a life of experiences. Although many downtown shoppers may know him as the salesman/manager for many years at SJ Crystals, Shad has taken numerous paths – both within himself and around the world. Now that Lew Aceto of SJ Crystals has retired, this gave Shad the kick he needed to conquer his longtime dream of being his own business owner.  

Shad is the new owner of a two-for-one shop located at 4906 Seventh Avenue. Now open is Stitches Tailor Shop and coming soon (November 29th is the rumor) it will be joined by Her Clothing Shop, specializing in women’s attire. Shad isn’t doing this alone, he has family and friends helping out with his venture, and he is joined in the studio by his stepdaughter, Micayla, who is currently preparing to open and manage Her Clothing.
