I recently visited Louis Thomas looking for a suit for a friend's wedding, and I had the pleasure…read moreof working with Tom. From the moment I walked in, Tom was incredibly welcoming and helpful. He gave expert advice on fit, making sure both jacket and pants were tailored perfectly. He made the whole experience enjoyable with his humor and stories of the shop's 80-year history, and made me feel comfortable and confident in my choice. We had looked at a few other retailers around SF/Marin, but none were as helpful or had the quality of suits available as this store. If you need a suit or custom tailoring, I highly recommend working with Tom at Louis Thomas.

The expresso drinks here offered a mixed experience. My first drink, a coconut crème expresso was excellent. Strong and delicious, they apparently make their own coconut crème in-house. We all know there is a worldwide shortage, but unfortunately the matcha we ordered was lacking a depth of flavor and color, despite watching a skilled barista beautifully blend the powder with a traditional whisk (chasen.) The end result of her efforts was "matcha lite." I like this spot, and we noted it's a popular choice for remote work, but steer towards expresso drinks if you are a fan of potent flavors.

If you like name-brand outdoor clothing but not name-brand outdoor clothing prices, Marin Outdoor…read moreTrading Company should be on your radar. With a mix of consignment clothing and manufacturer samples, MOTC is a small, local shop with an enticing mix of offerings. Even though the consignment clothing would never count as cheap, every piece appears to be in great shape with no evidence of wear. The sample pieces, still sporting manufacturer tags, also sport a huge discount off their recommended sales price. I picked up a pre-worn, stylish fleece from The North Face for $30 and felt that price was reasonable and returned home to tell my son he should check the place out for the sort of outdoor men's pants he likes. The array of offerings is not dissimilar from what one finds at REI, but on a much smaller scale. There's other outdoor stuff here too - including a proprietor with whom one can engage in for everything fishing related. Despite its size, the store features clothes for all ages and genders as well as outdoor equipment. Whether you've outgrown something or just want something new or gently worn, if you're seeking outdoor clothing and like those name brands, MOTC should be on your radar.

The owner is a very sweet and easy going guy and the prices are incredibly reasonable.

And if you like being outside that's probably your preference, too. :) Highly recommend visiting this shop.

Shopping at Sonas Denim is like having a personal shopper. The proprieter, Gerry Kelly, welcomes…read moreeach customer as if he is inviting them into his home. For example, a couple entered the store and he immediately welcomed them and offered his assistance in a very low key way. He picked out a coat for the gentleman that he felt would be a good fit. The gentleman was initially surprised by Gerry's suggestion but then he looked at the jacket more carefully and tried it on,. The look on his face was priceless. Likewise, everyone else in the store was smiling. Those moments happen frequently for customers at Sonas Denim. In fact, "sonas" means good fortune or happiness in Gaelic. My first visit to Sonas was also a surprising moment of pleasure, considering I have never enjoyed shopping for clothing. From my earliest experiences, shopping for clothing was as much fun as going to the dentist. In this case, Gerry completely changed my attitude toward shopping and now I look forward to Gerry's assistance with any shopping needs that I have. I've received numerous compliments whenever I wear pieces from Sonas. For high fashion, low pressure, good vibes and affordable prices, I highly recommend shopping at Sonas Denim.

Clothes you could wear to a Stinson bonfire or a Point Reyes meandering afternoon. Jewelry that catches the fog-filtered light. Books that are meant to read in the sun, that make you think of tides and time. Everything curated with a surfer's sense of flow, even if you've never been on a board. We stop in for the rotating art shows--each one like a new swell. One month it's photographs that feel like standing ankle‑deep in warm water. Another, paintings that hum like slack‑key guitar. Always shifting, always worth the stop. You don't have to surf. You don't even have to live by the beach. But step inside and you'll swear you can hear the Pacific breathing. This is West Marin by way of Hawaii. Aloha in retail form--warm, easy, and exactly what you didn't know you needed.
