Unseasonably warm weather across the country has brought the flowers out a bit early this year. 

With spring upon us, we have shortened our sleeves - letting the true colors of some of our favorite local skaters and tattoo artists come through. 

 

All of our featured friends keep full sleeves all year around (thanks to some incredibly intricate ink work) so, they were all psyched to free up their arms for the day. 

 

If you are in the neighborhood and are looking for some work to be done or want a friend to skate the the local spots with - you can count on these guys to take care of you. 

 

We just hope you have as much fun in our shirts as we do photographing our friends in ‘em.

Easter weekend marks a breath of new clothing. So dust off your short sleeves, summer bucks, and linen accessories. Without further ado let us introduce you to some new items appearing in store. 

First up: The Forest & Salmon Madras Linen Tie 

Up Next: The Navy & Lavender Striped Linen Tie 

Thirdly: The Sky Blue Linen Tie 

Let Us Not Forget: The Cherry & Lime Madras Linen Tie 

Last But Not Least: Dusty Red Linen Tie 

Pick up any of these new spring neckties online or in-store. We wish you a lovely holiday weekend!

Please enjoy a limited offering of our refined Italian chambray.

Both the charcoal and navy chambray are intelligently appointed with horn buttons and our signature English spread-collar.

Put simply, this is our rock star shirt. Made for seizing the best a warm summer’s evening has to offer.

We made a some exclusively for our trip down to SXSW in Austin but we got so many emails we quickly rangled up some fabric to bring you guys a few.

Enjoy ‘em…

For the past year we have been asked when we are launching a short sleeve shirt. That being said, we’d like to proudly introduce our newest style, the SS Milton. 

Why? Because when Milton finally flips Lumbergh the bird and goes on permanent vacation with a babe under one arm and a Swingline stapler under his other, this is the shirt he will be wearing.

A single chest pocket for your sunnies as well as the perfect sleeve length to show off your artillery. 

Our first offerings, the watermelon madras accompanied by the navy & magenta madras are particularly lightweight and soft, ready for the first day to break 70. 

Get outside and have some fun.

This week we would also like to take the opportunity to introduce you to our newest form of TS modeling. 

SHARE YOUR WEAR

Send us pictures of you guys rocking your TS gear.

It’s all pretty simple. You send us a picture many different ways (illustrated here).

Oh yeah, we almost forgot. If we edit and use your photo we send you a 15% off code for your next purchase.

Have some fun and be creative.

Biking is a way of life to many of our friends here in the neighborhood and we can’t help but highlight these stand-outs.

They’re energetic, active and always on the go. Knowing them they’re probably going somewhere we are inspired to end up. 

Let’s start with our pals at Mission Workshop. These guys are right down the street from us, making bags that accompany the San Francisco bike-rider like no other!

Their aesthetic is clean, and fresh, not to mention they’re a great bunch of people - what’s not to love?

Crossing borders might be a new thing for Mission Workshop but you gotta know they’re gonna do it well! Berlin Mission Workshop opened on March 8 and will run for the next month.

We wish them the best of luck in their new endeavor and encourage all our readers to follow what they do closely.

If you thought, “I don’t think things can get any better under the Mission Workshop roof!” Well, you’re almost right, but add in Bicycle Coffee Co and you have one hell of a combination. 

Roasting their coffee in Oakland, they use the facilities at Mission Workshop to weigh and distribute the beans.

With a name like Bicycle Coffee you can probably guess how the beans get from point A to point B.

Check back tomorrow for the release of our first short sleeved shirt of the year: the S.S. Milton. 

For this week’s shirts, we wanted to pay homage to Hidekazu. He took over as our amazing shop keeper back in December and has been a vital part of our success.

As we were going through traditional japanese fabrics earlier this year Kazu told us the story of how each print relates to springtime in Japan.

We held him to it and created these well appointed shirts with our signature horn buttons.

In Japan, it is said that the “stars wait for spring” and the Kira Boshi, or Shimmering Stars clear for the crisp evenings.

The Mizu Tama, or Rain Droplet, brings the rains needed to sprout new growth.

Finally, Hanami is a traditional Japanese custom where people admire the beauty of the Cherry Blossoms as the first sign of spring, which begins at the beginning of February on the island of Okinawa. 

The Sunset is the outermost neighborhood of San Francisco, lying right up against the Pacific Ocean.

The joke is “that’s the only place in California where real estate gets cheaper the closer you get to the ocean.”

The fog banks are thicker and the wind blows harder here than anywhere else in the city.

The neighborhood is a bohemian patchwork of young families, artists, old salts and weathered surfers. All of whom thrive in the windswept “outsidelands” between the city and the sea.

The crossroads of it all lies between the corners of Irving and Judah on 46th Ave, where the surfers, bakers, restauranteurs and young shop owners have created one of the most interesting blocks in the city.

Mollusk Surf Shop started it all six years ago; Outerlands followed with the best bread west of Tartine Bakery and Trouble Coffee is the only place you can get an Americano, a fresh coconut and a slice of cinnamon toast thats thicker than a pastrami sandwich.

This past Sunday we had some majestic weather and decided to wrangle up some of the neighborhoods finest.

Out from studios and garages, on motor bikes and in vintage Karmann Ghia’s we lured everyone to the beach with cinnamon toast and cold beers. It was a rare occasion and a legendary gathering of friends. Luckily we had the cameras…
