Plus your feet will stay warm and dry. Bonus: you'll look sharp, too. I'm still wearing flannels, hoodies, jackets, and jeans that I bought from this shop since it opened in 2012. They don't look as good as when I bought them... THEY LOOK BETTER. Worried it's pretentious? I've found it to be the friendliest, realest, most helpful, most easygoing brick-and-mortar shopping experience I've had in the Bay Area. I usually come in on my way home from the gym, wearing ratty athleisure, from brands they don't carry, and I've never caught an ounce of vibe. Most of the staff have been here for years; that says something too. Old-world ethos, old-school service. We're lucky that businesses like this one -- and the craftspeople whose goods they stock -- still exist. Wishing this fine enterprise many more years.

This store, to me, was a really pricey Nike Store with a very limited selection…read more But maybe, because I was here during the holidays, that might explain the limited selection part. Located in the Fourth Street Shopping Center in Berkeley, I only found a few things that interested me, but maybe i'm used to the Nike Outlet prices, because these seemed rather high. But it's a nice store inside, very spacious, and probably the main store I would visit in this shopping center!!

There were about 4 customers in the store and a security guard up front. I was never greeted or asked if I needed any help with looking for something. The vibes were definitely off. Asking for a size in the shoe I wanted felt like I was bothering the employees. I made my purchase and got out of there. Not even a thank you or have a great day was said. The customer service definitely needs work.

But my…read morehusband and I decided to make a visit before Christmas (we did the same last year but I never got around to writing a review). Outback is a clothing store which sells very unique clothing designs with original fabrics. I actually shopped at the store back in the 1980s when it was located on Sacramento St near Dwight Way in Berkeley. I bought a coat from them that lstter for years. So this place has been around for decades. (I think at one point they moved to 10th St need Gilman in Berkeley.) I found a beautiful cashmere scarf, for a reasonable price, for my daughter who lives on the East coast. She received it and commented on how soft it was. The saleswoman was super friendly. We had a nice conversation. (A different saleswoman last year was also nice and pleasant.). The clothing can be on the pricey side for my budget. But if you are looking for a piece of clothing that no one else has, this is the place to visit. I really should go back and treat myself!
