Its kinda meh to be honest.. .  It was the first time I saw those crazy 32oz Naked and famous jeans and the raspberry scratch and sniff jeans…and the glow in the dark jeans...  They have some interesting brands, but as far as denim goes, it all seemed to be Nudie.  Not bad, but not my thing

As I said I have never been personally. Glad you were able to check it out for us and report back. Hopefully next time I go I can do a pictorial of every SF shop. Figured it could be cool to have images of the shop next to the listing. Anyhow, thank you for the report. Did you get a chance to hit up any of the other spots?

I go to Unionmade and Self Edge regularly to browse and buy stuff.  They both are legit.  Both stores get incredibly stuffy though, I usually end up sweating out once its time to leave.  I have not checked out the others, but I live across the bridge in Oakland, so next time I go there and can ditch my wife at Banana Republic, Ill do a little photo-journal of the places.

edit* my response sounded like an upset rant.  Dont want that to be the case. I can say I disagree with everything Occupy Oakland stands for at this moment, until they prove they can keep these out of town scrubs that go around breaking things on a leash.

I popped into Taylor and Stitch the other day.  Cool spot.  The shirts are really nice, but I didnt really see any fabrics that blew my mind.  Im into heavier, sturdy material, and most I saw were standard cotton.  Very well made though.  They also have a womens side that has just as many cool shirts for ladies, which is nice, considering women have a harder time finding a proper fit thanks to the variations in curves etc…  They also are a Rancourt dealer/depot, so they have a few in stock, but O saw a guy getting a custom make up.

Another interesting thing is the Banana Republic on Sutter and Grant has a custom shirt booth, and Taylor and Stitch are the people behind it, so I guess its a BR/TS collaboration.  I didnt get an idea on price, will do next time.
