Unionmade (CLOSED)

No list of top San Francisco boutiques would be complete without this Castro stalwart. For about a decade, it has been a go-to destination for style-conscious guys looking for casual-leaning pieces that are timeless and cool, not trendy. Founder Todd Barket is a stickler for keeping his store stocked with SF wardrobe essentials like plaid and chambray button-downs, jeans, striped tees, sweaters, hoodies, jackets and accessories. The emphasis on brands known for craftsmanship and quality is the special sauce that distinguishes Unionmade from the crowd. Among the labels you'll find in heavy rotation: Golden Bear, Alex Mill, Carharttt Wip, Gitman Vintage, Harley of Scotland, Levi's Made & Crafted and Save Khaki.
