Tucked away in San Francisco’s North Beach neighborhood is Al’s Attire. At first glance I thought it was a custom shoe maker but after a look inside you can see Al makes shirt, pants, hats and lots of crazy stuff.. I love a retail space thats trapped in time, old hat boxes decorating the walls etc…Thats Al in the denim coveralls. While I dont love everything, I love that he sews everything right there and shapes & blocks hats!P1310807
