Haven Court x Johnson Leathers collab!…read more First time hearing and learning about Johnson Leathers was when a close friend of mine visiting the bay convinced me to come with hime to the Haven Court pop up here. The pop up was super fun and well organized! The line was around the corner. Beautiful and thoughtfully made clothing apparel - I did indeed buy a shirt. Came back the following day to Johnson Leathers because my friend is interested in getting a custom made leather jacket. Johnson Leathers seems incredibly knowledgeable with the different leathers and styles... It's a whole field that I myself don't know much about. I'd totally recommend this spot to someone interested in getting a LEGIT leather jacket. Seems like it would be a jacket that could last a life time.

I've been looking for a gothic style store for a while... sadly, most of SF 'gothic' like stuff is…read moremore fetishwear. Disapointing anyways, this store has some 'designer' level clothing at varying prices that very wildly. Buying a 100 dollar pair of somewhat gothic style pants, the original owner guy I purchased from was kind of cool. we chatted things up, he kind of gave me some pointers for sf fashion spots, talked to me about some of the other items around the shop (including a 1000 dollar concealable leather pouch). I usually like to give things time... evaluate places before sticking with them... so opting to wait on anything else... I make a trip to japan (where I purchased another gothic style pants from the yellow house... which were even more disappointing that Ceiba. Details are in the review I made for them). Also, mind you, both pants are elastic and the material is a little thick, they were both very comfortable. after coming back, I had to get both pants repaired. the ceiba pants I've had to have repaired twice (but it still has more damage on it that I haven't gotten repaired. the pockets are falling apart for one) now while the japanese yellow house pants I've had to have repaired 3 times now. It's rare that I need to have my clothes repaired... mostly its seams coming undone and I can usually fix those myself.... usually... but these were more that the fabric was giving out. the seams were strong but the pants were fraying or giving out around the seams. I cant just sew that back in. I've gone to Ceiba twice to try to talk to them about the material, the pants, repairs... and just to find solutions. the first time for them to give me advice on to handle it myself... and the second time, after SEVERAL times having to pay to get them fixed, to see if maybe the item was just bad or something and finding more vendor and patron solutions. both times it was a woman this time and both times she could not help. I do not recommend people come here for clothes, its a nice name place to show off a bit and pretend to be more socioeconomically established but little more than that.

The store layout is pretty nifty and they utilise every inch of space to display merchandise and items for sale. Their selection of boots and shoes was pretty good and yet they seemed to only have them all in one or two sizes that were not typical sizes for guys. I'm unsure if that is normal and how they stick their items, or if they were just low on inventory the time we visited. Overall it was a cute little shop and one I would have just passed over as I knew going in they'd not have anything of interest to me. Might be back again to browse with the person I'm seeing, ya never know!
