I've been honing in on a jacket for Geck (to replace the broken-down G-Star jacket I bequeathed him a few years ago) for the last several weeks. Found a couple good candidates at Diesel and G-Star, but everything seemed a little too over-the-top for a guy who prefers T Rex to TV on the Radio. Luckily, I was recently tipped of to UnionMade on Sanchez. I have too many good things to say about this shop, but in short, it's my new favorite men's store in San Francisco. The very easy-going and extremely well-versed salesman, Jason hooked Tom up with the military/workman inspired "Cadet Jacket", a pair of J. Crew Vintage Slim Fit Selvedge Jeans (woven on 100 year-old looms), and a great button-down madras shirt. The entire operation took about 30 minutes. Dined at Contigo ,off 24th to celebrate Geck's new duds. And yeah, we sat at the bar...
That was the most painless shopping trip I've ever taken. I walked away with some great stuff at mid range prices. Wearing it all today and getting props. If you're a clueless guy shopper like me, take Steve up on his service. It rocks. And I'm still totally straight! ;)
