You literally will not find some of these things anywhere else! Save yourself a trip inside a crowded mall and keep it local, while finding the best fashions from abroad.
Taylor Stitch
Shop
High-end men’s wear is often ignored, but let’s be honest: the urban gentleman loves fine clothing just as much as women do in SF. Taylor Stitch’s garments are made in California and released in small batches weekly. They started as a family business and now have a true brick and mortar shop in the heart of the hip Mission District. The utmost quality and flawless fit is guaranteed, but if desired, they can custom make shirts for either a great gift or a way to treat yourself!
Weston
Keeping with the locally made, high-end fashion theme, Julienne, the owner and designer at Weston SF keeps the garment industry alive and well. Fashion forward and locally made designs are sold right here in the city. Their same garments can also be found in some boutiques nationwide, but the main flagship store is in the Mission district. View the latest collections here, and use their store locator to see if any garments are sold at a boutique near you.
