Fashion Friday: Al's Attire.
Al's Attire is a somewhat secret San Francisco institution. Tucked away on Grant, a tiny back alley of a street in North Beach, Al's a tailor to the un-trendy, but well-heeled fashionistas by the bay. Looking for a classic, vintage coat? Al's your guy. And if you're looking for a special suit custom made, or if you are simply needing to revamp, redux your wardrobe this is the place to come. Al will put the funk back in your fuddy-duds with excellent craftsmanship and attention to the tiniest of details. It's such a great shop, even if you just need some stylish inspiration. Go see the attire that is Al's.

I so hope I can make to the West Coast some time soon to visit all the darling shops you list.
How fun!! Thanks for sharing.
Oh! The electric blue mac in the window - swoooon!
I'm hoping to take a jaunt to SF this year, so any boutiques you care to recommend, I'd be grateful to know about!
I love Al's! I have been lusting after a custom made coat by him for years! I sent a friend of mine there when he was looking for that perfect gift for his wife on their anniversary.
I love Grant Ave...so many hidden gems. Have you ever visited the little bead shop that's been around for decades? I can't get enough of that cute man and his beanie :) It was as favorite stop when we lived in the city.
OH MY GOSH! I absolutely LOVE Al's Attire!!!
My friend had recently purchased a button-up shirt from Al, and it looked so smart and perfect on him.
When the cold weather comes back, I'll definitely have a custom coat done there. I tried one of their coats hanging on the rack and it was perfect! I'd rather spend my money there than a name brand piece.
I also how love that he makes hats and shoes :) What a super talented guy.
Thank you so much for the tip...I love, love, love vintage coats. I'm headed to SF in May for a visit.....this is such a bonus! I used to live there for a bit, and I so miss the city!
THat stack of hat boxes is just devine! Love it! THe blue coat in teh last pic is pretty spesh too! Oh to live on the other side of the world!
this place is perfect. i wish we had one just like it in chicago. there is such need, al!
never heard of al's...i wish i had while i was living there, it looks amazing! i'll be sure to stop by on my next visit.
Al's is the best. He made my husband's wedding suit and even called me to ask about my vintage wedding dress to make sure we matched. What a great guy and what a great store!
I've probably walked by this place on my many visits to SF. Next time I'll have to stop in for sure.
I love those hats. Do you know of any place like it out here in the DC/Baltimore area?
