What is the current relationship between Tailors Keep and Martinez?

I'm not aware of any relationship. @UrbanComposition might know, if there is one.

Went to Le Central for oysters and French fries for lunch today. Of course Willie Brown AKA " Da Mayor" was sitting in the window seat playing Liars Dice with friends as he has for over 40 years. a " San Francisco" moment. 😁

What is the current relationship between Tailors Keep and Martinez? Many SFers recommend
Martinez for "major" alterations. I always used the late Bob Stankovich in Menlo Park as did
many others. I now use Tailor Maid for minor alterations. Not sure they are up to re-cutting
a shoulder, for example, which Bob actually did for me with success.

I called Tailors keep, Palo Alto. Turns out they (still) use Martinez for alterations.
No tailor on site in P.A.

Tailors Keep is also now in Palo Alto.


From Nob Hill you can walk down to the Union Square area so Sears Fine Foods is an easy walk. Le Central, on Bush, is also no more than a 10 minute walk.

Small caveat to this - the Palo Alto location is optimized for MTM. Of course, they can do bespoke, but it’ll be a bit more of a scheduling hassle since only one of their proprietors runs fittings for bespoke and he would have to meet you in Palo Alto for fittings.

Decked out in Isaia as is his wont?

Not sure what “ Da Mayor” was wearing but he was the best dressed guy I saw all day downtown.

I had a very enjoyable visit with Ryan at Tailor's Keep. I highly recommend that you stop in if you haven't already.

I missed the last meet up fellas. We should really try and arrange another before the weather gets too bad. @ppk you arranged the last one, correct?

Yeah. Let's do it! We can probably combine it with the Blamo Slack.

Good idea!

What Meet-Up? What is Blamo Slack? I suspect a generation has come and gone since since the last Meet-Up I attended Fall 2016

 

[ppk]

We had a meet up last December. Blamo Slack is a forum for the Blamo podcast that Jeremy Kirkland runs. Some of us are there as well.

Let's do another one. I'd love to meet more folks.

Bay Area Folks,

Some of us have been thinking about a meetup the 1st or 2nd week of November. The format is pretty simple - meet at a menswear store and hang around and talk for an hour or so and then go to a nearby restaurant and have drinks and dinner.

I am thinking San Carlos or Palo Alto because they are easy to access via public transportation and car and are in between the South Bay and San Francisco. I was thinking of meeting at Brogue and walking to Drake's (the restaurant). In Palo Alto we could meet at Tailor's Keep. I know they do events.

I think weekdays are better for restaurants, but if weekends are better for most people, we can do that.

If there's enough interest, I'll contact Mac at Brogue and Drake's or Tailor's Keep and a restaurant in Palo Alto.

Please respond to this post if your interested. I also posted this on the Blamo Podcast Slack channel.

Best.

 

[comrade]

I might be interested.

It’s a bit far for me but keep me posted.
