You would never know by looking at his choice of footwear, but this man is in his late 60’s. That briefcase, with the gucci webbing and leather (like?) handles is pretty awesome. There’s something special about an unconstructed brief.
What you are gazing at is probably all sold by now. I have way too many photos in my bank, I’m rich there… and share what I’m in the mood of. Sorry if I teased you, they have tons more!
I shared with you a taste of their designer assortment… What I didnt realy touch on is their extensive collection of deadstock and worn sportswear or streetwear from Supreme, Stussy and many other legendary brands! They also have the friendliest staff of any young retailer. I hear they are opening a 2nd store, great news.
I think these are some Timberland boots he custom made years ago, or maybe he just customized the interiors.. In one of my 1st posts I showed you a footbed- I think, may have deleted it… it belonged to this boot. Bob is a worker man. He gets filthy on a daily basis while creating his art. His beanie hat or whatever we want to call it isnt sagging LA style, its merely worn uptop, it felt about a hundred degrees in the loft, and this was shot as soon as we hit the streets, minuets later. Not trying to defend his hat wearing ways, Bob can defend himself. Those are RVSbyV for silver lining opticians in NY. Jordan does a swell job there in his soho eyeglass store.
The next time you find yourself in San Francisco do yourself a favor and stop by the the recently furnished Levis store. On the lower level where the Tailor Shop is housed, LVC has stocked the floor with all 9 Made In These United States 501’s from 1890-1966 (1890, 15, 33, 44, 47, 54 501z, 55 & 66). If denim isnt your flavour, youll find a bevy of the most classical of american vintage items along with a sprinkle of LVC 1920’s Made In America tees, henleys, Sunset shirts and a personal favorite, the 1936 Type I jacket. Love a pleat & buckleback!
The vintage tees, flannels and military pants (ALL MADE IN USA) sit on repurposed white oak barn siding that has been plane & sanded. (for you interior folk) 
denim wall- Constructed from salvaged city of San Francisco scaffolding that was deemed unsafe for SF city workers..ties nicely with the city that gave birth to Levi’s & the 501!
50’s L.L. Bean 
70’s Harley Davidson 
I love how the masking tape they used for inventory purposes remained on! 
In addition to selling vintage and LVC, the tailor shop is now cranking out aprons of canvas duck and lining a selection of Big E type 3 denim jackets with 1940’s camp blankets. I normally have problems with reworked vintage but i quite like these.
Two jeans from 1890-1900 are being redone. The Barnyard (shown above) and the Spurbites shown below (worn by some cowboy, the cuff area is all beaten up from his spur) and will be available at this location. Both jeans were originally made right here (w/ pure indigo dyed 90z Amoskeag plain selvage denim) in Hippie Dippie San Fran Skippie.
