Simple style advice for the modern man.
A quick heads up for the locals: menswear retailer extraordinaire No Man Walks Alone will be in San Francisco this Friday and Saturday, 10/23 and 10/24. The trunk show will be held at 437 Pacific Ave. I’ve been a fan of No Man Walks Alone for a while, and have been lucky to see their […]
A couple of weeks ago I was invited to an event at the new JINS store in San Francisco. JINS is an eyewear brand that specializes in glasses that are inexpensive and can be filled with prescriptions quickly, and their new SF store represents their first location in the States. I had heard a bit […]
At this point, most of you are probably familiar with Suitsupply, the Dutch menswear darling that has been crushing the $400-$700 suit market (you can see my reviews here and here). In the last few years, the company has made serious progress in their plans for world domination; however, their presence in California has been surprisingly nonexistent. A San Francisco store […]
(NOTE: this post has been updated – see here for the current map.) Most of the questions my fellow bloggers and I seem to receive are inquiries for local information – the best stores, best tailors, and so on. These are reasonable questions, to be sure, but it can be difficult to answer them all. […]
There are quite a few clothing stores in downtown San Francisco. Some are common and approachable, like Uniqlo and Macy’s, while others like Nieman Marcus and Wilkes Bashford are only for the true ballers among us.

I’ve never claimed to be much of a denim head, but the events at Denim Bruin earlier this month reminded me that San Francisco is one of the cornerstones of the denim industry, and that the products found here are some of the best on the globe. Jeans have been part of this city’s culture […]
I find it very convenient (and surprising) that one of my favorite spots in the city still remains relatively unknown and very empty. San Francisco is a crowded place and it can be challenging to find a location that is both beautiful and tranquil within the city limits. The Presidio is a strange place – for […]
The Financial District of San Francisco is an interesting place. I’m there all week but I rarely venture over during the weekend as it generally becomes quite desolate and empty without the bustle of business. However, I decided to change that and went on a weekend visit to the infamous Wingtip (formerly On the Fly), […]
In my experience, one of the best ways to make a mass-produced piece of clothing a bit more luxurious and enjoyable is to replace plastic machine-sewed buttons with high-quality, hand sewn ones. There are many places to find great horn, mother-of-pearl, leather and metal buttons: thrifting and ebay are always good options and there many online […]
I’m on a boat and It’s going fast and I’ve got a sweater that’s made by Michael Bastian The weather was wonderful in San Francisco this weekend and I had the good fortune of spending most of it on a beautiful sailboat with several of my close friends, cruising around the Bay’s bridges and islands.
