Modern Luxury Magazine recently named Button Down the Best Boutique for Men's Clothing, and after visiting, I understand why. A careful walk through the store reminded me of the legendary Wilkes Bashford on Sutter Street, back in the 1980s. Like the original Wilkes, Button Down offers beautiful Italian and European styles, along with famous brands and their own private label. They also carry luxurious accessories for men and women. Greg, who had also worked at Wilkes in its heyday, helped me put together an entire ensemble. It was like a trip back in time, with the same quality, personal attention and service that is nearly impossible to find anymore. Button Down is located on Sacramento Street in Presidio Heights, and it is well worth the visit. read more

Poor customer service and the staff wasn't interested in the customer service especially if you were not their typical customer. Find better clothing at other stores. read more

Great selection of mid-tier Italian brands at this cozy little shop! I absolutely loved the colors that they put together for their spring/summer collection. Will be back in fall to check out the men's fall/winter collections which are generally more suited to my personal palette preferences. I bought a fun pair of houndstooth patterned socks with a HOT PINK toe! Highly recommend swinging on by and seeing if there's anything that suits your fancy. read more

Great and unique clothing options and superb help by Rich and team to find just the right fit.

Very cute store. But unfortunately most items though made in italy are off brands being priced as high end designer clothing.

Both the sales staff and barbers in the back in this shop which also has clothes for women are great. I have been going here for almost three years and the barbers in the back have only changed once both David and Jake are friendly and give u exactly what u want. Every time I have bought clothes here I find excellent service and quality items which will last for years to come. Jim is the gentleman who usually assists me with my clothing options and Debora gave me an excellent barbershop recommendation to go to in Mayfair, London called G. F. Trumper. I love their holiday decorations especially the train in the front window during Christmas time. Bottom line u get what u pay for. D.T. read more

As a former business owner, I'm very aware of good service. Richard is an excellent sales associate. He is very knowledgeable about the merchandise and extremely patient. It was a very pleasant experience. Thank you read more

Excellent hands on service without being intrusive. Great sales and mark downs. Owner has a incredible eye for buying. Rich is wonderful at knowing what styles and sizes look best on me. Always courteous and helpful in every way. read more

Bought a vest and it did not fit. It was cut way too tight. Returned it, but they do not do to refunds. Now stuck with a gift card that who knows if I will ever use it. In this day and age, too many other nice stores to shop at who will gladly do returns if there is a sizing issue. No successful retail chain or store would ever operate like this. Imagine Amazon not refunding your money or Costco, or Williams Sonoma and the list goes on. read more

I love this store!! The owners curate a fantastic mix of merchandise for both men & women - you can always find something perfect. The sales team is always friendly and helpful, and you can even kill two birds with one stone and get a haircut in the barber shop in the back while there. read more

I have always loved this store, adored the staff, and enjoyed walking the street. A relaxing, luxurious trip each time. The staff here always makes the best recommendations and it's like hiring a personal fitter/stylist. Can't wait for my next find. read more

Great neighborhood, great sales team, fantastic merchandise. Button down has unique men's and women's clothing, and great accessories. Stuff you just don't find elsewhere. The staff are super knowledgeable and have a great sense of humor. I love the shop and will in all likelihood become a regular customer. Some of the clothing is a bit on the expensive side but definitely worth the price. read more

"Chi più spende meno spende" Italian proverbs that literally translates to "If you spend more, you spend less". I'm Italian and as part of my family heritage I've always bought high quality clothes. I love the art and craft as well as quality fabrics. Button Down is a hidden gem of San Francisco, where you can find genuine high quality clothes. I would particularly recommend their shirt selection, which is truly stellar. The customer service is impeccable, and it's especially nice to find such attention in San Francisco. I really enjoyed my time there. Also don't miss out their socks! read more

I love Button Down! The quality merchandise and outstanding hospitality are unmatched! I highly recommend stopping in and checking out this neighborhood gem. read more

Button Down - Throw - Women's Clothing Near Me - San Francisco, California

The lovely clothes are arranged in an interesting order and are of high quality and suitable for any kind of taste

The woman that had cut my hair for over eighteen years retired and I was looking for a replacement. I tried two other shops but was not happy with either. A friend told me about James at Button Down. I made an appointment online, showed up on time and got the haircut I was looking for. I scheduled another appointment then and there. Button Down is a very nice shop for men's and women's clothing as well. The staff is very helpful and as I was browsing I found a belt that I needed so it was a doubly good trip. I believe my wife will be making an appearance soon. read more

I can always count on Button Down to have classic and stylish clothing. The staff is extremely helpful, particularly when I'm looking for me wife on Christmas eve! I know it's a go to store for men's clothing, but what is particularly appealing to me is I can find what I need in a quarter of the time it would take me to accomplish the same at the department stores downtown. And the staff was very careful about the social distancing and other precautions we're enjoying these days. I took a peak at the salon, "James" in the back - great decor with re-purposed 747 airplane carts and various Bourbons and whiskies to help give you the courage to soldier on. I look forward to it being open again for a "test flight". read more

love BUTTON DOWN I have been going here for years and the staff is excellent. They always have something I can pick up as a gift , and its always a stop for birthdays and Christmas. They have a great eye for clothes. They even have their own brand which is exceptional. Go!!! read more

Got a haircut here from Cole and the cut and setting were both perfect. This will be my new spot (my prior barber moved during the pandemic). Set up almost like a speakeasy as you walk through a high end clothing boutique to a large back room built out as a barbershop. Everything you need in there... coffee? whiskey? Yes please. Just relax and get a good cut. read more

I was greeted by the saleswoman at the front counter. After getting help finding a bow tie I decided to take a look around the store to see what other items they may have. The man from the back room came and stood statuesque near the door and I had a shadow (the saleswoman) following me throughout the store. As a first time customer, the employees made me feel the most uncomfortable that I had ever felt in any store. Their stares could have burned a hole right through me. I felt more comfortable walking into Barney's wearing pajamas than I did walking into button down with a normal outfit. TIP TO THE SALES PEOPLE: don't treat customers like they're going to run out of your store with your merchandise. It's extremely uncomfortable!!! read more

Beautiful store; exceptional service; incredibly stylish clothing for men and women. Not wanting to try on clothing, I was directed to the right sizing and guess what...it fit perfectly. The pieces are all unique and well chosen, especially for SF weather. The pieces are all fun yet incredibly elegant. I will be frequenting them for certain. read more

Wonderful store, full of beautiful clothing and accessories. The staff is very helpful and anti-pushy.

Check out the jewelry too - expensive looking but not expensive, labeled "costume" but is sooo chic and beautiful! read more

We were vacationing and my husband forgot to pack a dress shirt for dinner. I found this place, nice upscale neighborhood and beautiful dress shirts/sweaters but because he only needed for one dinner I decided not to spend several hundred for one shirt. I'd recommend the store if you're looking for dress clothes or nice casual. Also the salesman were very helpful and friendly. read more

I've been a customer since Button Down was on Fillmore for myself and my wife because of their exquisite taste and selection. Yes, they have high-end brands which aren't always in within my budget but what the other reviewers failed to mention is that they have good price points--many less expensive but just as impeccable choices. I have several items that have lasted for years because of the fashion and quality. I've always found the sales staff very friendly and what is refreshing for me is perhaps what wasn't to a couple of reviewers: they're not aggressive nor do they hang over you like many other stores which I avoid just for that reason. As long as I've been going there, with rare exception I've never felt an "attitude" nor like I'm being patronized. Button Down is a pleasure to shop in. Dr. Michael H read more

Many friends and relatives have also been recipients of fabulous gifts from Botton Down. I'm sad that Dominique has retired but all of the sales people are lovely.
