I'm going to be out of town for this but be sure to get Bill Charman to come. His office, Gimme Shelter, is right around the corner on 51st and Telegraph.

How do we make him aware that his attendance is mandatory?

Tell him you want to sell or buy a cool place. He'll show.

The guys who work there are mad knowledgeable and really passionate. It's always great to see people in the industry who actually know their stuff and really love it at the same time.

This is Jeremy, one of the co-founders. Very stylish, loves Japanese jawnz and is mad smart and mad tatted.

This is Jonathan. He's a really kind guy and he's also British.

Just across the way is The Cro Cafe. It's a great place to grab a cup of pour over coffee and a pastry. They serve Sightglass as well as Linea Caffe. Always nice to have a good cup of coffee and peruse through some great men's clothing.

Nice to see the other side of the bay get a little attention on the forum....

Standard & Strange is one of only 3 U.S. retailers to stock British brand Private White V.C. which does all of their production in Manchester, England. The factory formerly produced garments for brands like Burberry Prorsum and other high-end designers. Today they use their factory to produce their own garments, which are incredibly well-made and some of the best outerwear garments I've ever seen. It's a very exciting to have a brand of such a high caliber, and tells you that the guys at Standard & Strange are doing some big things.

My wife and I have enjoyed exploring the ever evolving and growing food, art, retail scene in Oakland. The Temescal neighborhood where S&S is located is different than any in San Francisco. Oakland offers a unique spin on the Bay Area. If you are looking for an enjoyable evening try visiting on a First Friday. http://www.proartsgallery.org/firstfridays/

Standard & Strange will be launching their web store this month, so for you folks who have heard of the store but don't live near the area, not to worry. The level of curation is fantastic and will only get better as they continue to grow.

Looking forward to meeting all you folks on Thursday night!

The guys at S&S have aren't just savvy in all things menswear, but they also have a great sense of humor, to boot (pun intended). Examples below
