Welcome Taylor Stitch to the ‘Hood!
Posted in News, Stores, tagged Fashion, Marine Layer, Men's Apparel, Men's Shirts, Pacific, Polk, Shuffleboard, Stores, Taylor Stitch on August 29, 2010 | 1 Comment »
About a month ago, I swung by Marine Layer‘s former loft space at 1932 Polk (at Pacific) for a happy hour. I drank wine, met some nice people, and played a game of shuffleboard; in other words, it was a wonderful start to my weekend. The t-shirt label has since moved on to a new home on Chestnut Street, leaving the long wooden table behind and me a bit dismayed. But now I’m pleased to hear that another dapper men’s apparel company has taken over the space.
Taylor Stitch produces custom and ready-to-wear men’s cotton “button-up” shirts. Using high-quality cotton; sustainable Corozo buttons; thoughtful details like the lack of superfluous pleats; and sophisticated stripes, plaids, and solids, TS makes a man look good. And the proof is in the pudding . . . local personas (likely friends) like Thrillist SF editor Nick Elliott, the Mariani bros of Scribe Winery, and Four Barrel coffeemaker Jeremy Tooker model the threads on the website, and they certainly all do look handsome. So good work and welcome to the neighborhood, Taylor Stitch. As for the shuffleboard table, TS has already extended an invitation to us all to swing by and play a game if we’re looking to kill time, and you know I don’t need any convincing.

Score Spencer and Daniel’s Vino on the Extra Cheap
Posted in Stores, tagged Coupon, Joffer, Shopping, Spencer & Daniel's, Stores, wine on January 18, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I have never heard of MyJoffer.com before but from some elementary deduction I have arrived upon two things: a) it has a dumb name and b) it seems like a Groupon knockoff. But more importantly, for the next day and a half, the site is offering a 50 percent discount on gift certificates for $10 worth of wine at Polk Street’s very own Spencer and Daniel’s Wine Outlet (1541 Polk at Sacramento). SnD’s offers great deals on dozens of varieties of wine, which all seem to be up for grabs with this coupon, so I’d have at it I were you — and I will, too.
Marine Layer Docks On Polk
Posted in Seen, Stores, Websites, tagged Clothes, Marine Layer, Pacific, Polk, Stores on January 8, 2010 | 2 Comments »
Cruising up Polk Street next to that weird Bird School of Music which I’ve never once seen open, I noticed a fresh-looking sign for marinelayer.com. Marine Layer is a San Francisco-based t-shirt company with an awesome logo, and some pretty sweet-looking shirts for dudes. I learned about it in quite possibly the most embarrassing place. To cut to the chase, I think that Golden Gate Bridge hammock thing is rad, and I’m psyched to learn the company has set up office in Russian Hill.
