Castro is @ the top of the hill in the video (that's 22nd street hill). Was very difficult not stopping in SelfEdge every few day. Did a few big shops a year..

I had a tremendous meal at Fleur de Lys last time I was in town. Awesome experience, even had a sommelier that I didn't have to bitch-slap or tell to shut up (?!) We wound up with a killer bottle that complemented the meal quite well.

I have always loved Slanted Door too.

Hi everyone,

I am flying out to San Francisco and then Las Vegas in a few days and figured there must be some shops worth visiting. I also figured someone on here would know the area.

I don't have anything in particular in mind, and shopping is far from a priority on the trip, but it doesn't hurt to look.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks in advance,

Matt

SelfEdge in The Mission. Take BART to 16th and Mission, head towards Valencia St, turn left and walk down to 18th and there it is. Whilst doing that 'run' I usually get out @ 16th/Mission, and head to Four Barrel which is on 15th and Valencia before walking to SelfEdge. Lots of odd ball shops in the Valencia corridor.

Thanks Snowy. Will definitely check it out.

Hi,

Sorry for coming on here out of the blue, but I'm going to be in San Francisco Feb 13th to Feb 19th and was wondering if anyone on here would be willing to be interviewed about their interests in Japanese denim and use of clothing fora. The interview would just be an open-ended conversation in the location of your choosing, it would only take about an hour, your identity will be kept anonymous and I can compensate you for your time with a $50 honorarium. I know this sounds a bit odd and spammy but its part of a wider research project on online menswear culture.

I've already interviewed a bunch of folks on a British forum, and while its a different sort of forum you can see from over there that I'm genuine:

While my own tastes veer more towards the Ivy Look, I'm partial to some more entry-level heritage stuff like LVC, Lee 101, Thorogood Boots and have spent my fair share of time reading clothing forums so I'm not a total outsider.

Here are my credentials as a researcher:

If anyone on here could help me out that would be massively appreciated! Please PM or email nweiner@yorku.ca

Flying to SF today - does anyone have new tips for places, sights or shops that haven't been mentioned here yet?

Four Barrel and The Mill for Coffee

@Axel Yosemite for sure also Sequoia Kings Canyon. Two AWESOME parks for you too see when in CA.
I was at these two parks.

@Snowy I was at Four Barrel last year September already but might have to check out The Mill!

@twin Would love to see the parks but we won't have that much time unfortunately

Thanks guys!

Stopped at The Mill, @Snowy ! Apparently it belongs to Four Barrel and they serve the same coffee. The bread they bake there was great

We also had a good lunch across the street at 4505 Burgers & BBQ.

Snowy

^100% spot on, but worth checking out for their bread (hence the name :)). Glad you enjoyed.

For any and all people who might be around the SF Bay Area mid-march, or to anyone close who can help out with even a buck, much love to you!

What’s up Iron Heart Familia! Happiest of New Years to you all!!

I wanted to share that I’ll be participating in an event that funds researching cancer in children and thought that our beloved community would be a great place to start! Any tiny amount helps!!

I’ll be getting my head shaved Mid-March in solidarity with the young’ns. And I’ll also be carrying weight during the event, which is a ruck, with other people who will be fundraising and participating!

Again, thank you all for what you can do, and if you can’t donate (I know all too well the financial realities of today) please do me a solid and share the info! Much love to you all, and I will be sharing pictures and wearing Iron Heart at the event!

There's a mid-century furniture store, DeAngelis, next door to Self Edge SF. It had some really nice pieces in stock, and my sister-in-law is very tempted by an original Danish armchair.

@Anesthetist I suggest you avoid Valencia Street if you want to preserve your financial wellbeing and marriage!

Mission Workshop have their store just around the corner from Self Edge on Rondel Place. I liked some of their technical apparel, there was a grey Merino hoodie that I might go back to pick up.

Have dinner at the Stinking Rose on Columbus Ave. If you like garlic. Great place.

Sounds like a dangerous mix of two of my favorite things [emoji7]

And Stinking Rose is great!
