I dig this place. It's right on the main strip, so you can check it out when you need a break from barhopping. Though you don't want to go after you've had too much, or you'll beer goggle your Visa statement right into the red. Cute clothing, nice people. I still get compliments often on my red pleather jacket. Four stars instead of five because every once in a while you get something with inferior quality. Check your fabrics closely, not everything here is made to last. read more

On my 21st birthday, September 26th, my friends and I went out to the Castro. Now I knew wearing heels wasn't a super good idea but I wore my most comfortable pair so I should be okay right? The whole shoe began to degrade, the heel and hard sole began their slow journey away from the straps and soft inner sole of the shoe, with no regard for my comfort. Luckily, this place was open, yup at 1:30 am!, and the gentlemen who was working that night of the 25th was very helpful! My friend and I got some shoes in our size, like 7 and 7.5, and were so extremely grateful for the existence of this store and it's hours! I don't get why that Walgreens doesn't sell flip flops or something, but I wouldn't have experienced this very hip and awesome store if it did. If you're on Castro and need some shoes, great company, or hip men's fashion, stop by this place! read more

See all

A great small gay friendly location to find those few things you can't find on Amazon! Recently had the pleasure to visit this place with someone I'm seeing because he wanted to browse for a new pair of unique leather boots! 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! read more

First let me start by saying Sirius ( at the 18th Street location) was super helpful and nice. The rest of the staff could probably use some customer service suggestions from him. I purchased a pair of shoes in June, admittedly they were not handmade, nor $700 but $120 and the guy who sold them said they were often purchased by people who work in restaurants; he indicated they were durable and they were comfortable. After about wearing - on the weekends (maybe 12 times) for about two months. After this heals were completely worn out. I took them to my shoe repair guy and he said the shoes looked defective and I should take them back. I did, to OUTFIT and they kept them for a month before I finally stopped by to retrieve them. No one bothered to call me. They returned the shoes to me after they applied some glue to the heal. No repairs were done. I was not happy so I took them back again to a Manager on Castro. He said, "this looks like normal wear for 2 months". But he offered to talk to the "owner". I left the shoes, again, hoping for a suitable resolution. The guy on duty said he would call me "tomorrow". Or maybe Taylor the manager would - or Ryan or Steven or whoever may be on call that day. Again no one called so I visited 5 days later. Again the shoes were not repaired, they offered to give me $25 to take them to a shoe repair. I asked to speak to the boss. The manager this day said "I am the boss" to which I replied - then who are you speaking to in the back room? He said the owner. I requested to speak to the elusive owner but the manager simply stated - he won't come out here to deal with you and if he did he would rip your head off. How is that for pleasant customer relations. The store ended up giving me a "new" pair of shoes for half price. No refunds, no exchanges, not their policy. Of course I did not purchase the merchandise from Nordstrom or L.L.Bean - both of whom pride themselves on customer service and quality products. I understand we all have choices about where we shop. I will never purchase anything from OUTFIT. The sales crew is unhelpful, aside from Sirius, the managers have no authority and the OWNER did not have the decency to even face an upset client. I figured he would have taken the shoes, sent them back to the manufacturer and given me a new pair. But I am sure he thought I was just another angry queen and there are plenty of other cheeseballs who will buy overpriced socks and underware. from his store. Best of luck you owner with no balls - and no idea of how to deal with people. read more

Poor quality merchandise Pushy oddly dressed "shopgirls" Trendy Menswear (which is questionable Which is also questionable? Cause the Skinny jeans I got and luv'd ! Say I'm a curvy size 14 and I'm cool with that! Sewing a mens size label over it . not so much! read more

Cool merchandise, well displayed... but.... the sales staff do vary. During Labor Day weekend visit... both clerks very loud chatting, some non professional topics and language. No greetings, or asking if we needed help. When I asked about leaving my bags, the clerk pointed to a shelf. It felt like unless you are a twink 20 something, model or outward vocal queen they were too busy gossiping to help. Hope management gets staff who want to give great customer service which in the past has been their trade mark in both stores in the Castro. Clothing is great prices and pretty fashion forward... fun stuff. read more

Wednesday I went to buy shoes featured in the window & found a CLOSED sign in the window. No business hours are posted. Thursday the store has a CLOSED, BE BACK IN 15 MINUTES. Forty-five minutes I return the store is still closed! I went out of my way to visit this store. This business it not dependable. I won't waste anymore of my time on this one. read more

I am definitely a fan. Edgar and his "shopgirls" comment is annoying, just like Edgar (no I don't know him, but just by reading his review I can tell). The staff at Outfit, both the Castro St and 18th Street locations are always helpful, fun to be around, and seem to know what they're talking about. If you're looking to be pampered and treated like a yuppie, don't bring your bitchy-ass in here, this place is more casual, hip, and relaxed. I have (as others mentioned) had some issues with buttons and whatnot falling off of these clothes, so maybe that is their flaw (so I'll take them down a star) for that. Now that I think about it, I have three items from there, all of which need buttons re-sewn on. I need to get on that. In any case, these shops are small, and the prices are high, but it's the in Castro, so both are expected. I like the style, fit, and selection they have here. I've been there probably four times, and I will likely be back. read more

You might find something you like here. It's a small store that has some good prices on sale items. Unfortunately, most of the Castro Clothiers have basically the same thing. read more

for some reason, i like this location on the Castro better than the 18th street location. both have nice clothes, and cool accessories, but i felt like the workers were nicer here, and more fun. i got 3 bow-ties for a "Sir's party" i had to attend when getting back home, each for $14.50. they were the "pre-made" kind where you didn't have to tie them. a pretty good deal i thought..... both locations seem to have the same products, but check them both out for yourself, and see which you'd like best! read more

Outfit Castro - Cute bow ties! Range in price. These were $14 each - Accessories Near Me - San Francisco, California

Exploring the Castro Neighborhood I stumbled by accident in this little shop and it was a lucky catch! The guy inside was very nice and helpful; they have a nice range of mens underwear, club wear, everyday clothes, shoes and accessories. The prices are very reasonable and I would love to shop here again :) read more

I Love the clothes here. Very trendy. There is designed clothes by a local designer, for me that's PLUS. The stuff is friendly and very helpful. There is always a variety of men purses, which I really like! I highly recommend this place! read more

Small shop with some really cool items. Very pricey on most things. They did have some sales. Shoes, clothing, accessories, etc. Staff was very friendly and funny. Nice layout and displays. Neat place to browse. read more

I absolutely love this location! They have a great selection of clothing and affordable fashionable shoes! The staff here is also super nice, professional, and helpful. There is I believe a good looking Filipino guy who is always very nice to us and outgoing. Can't recall his name. He's friends with Anthony Hill. Anyway, overall good experience. I come here once every other month and bring several other friends... Only advice: you should expend selection of shoes as that indeed seems to be your highest selling and profitable item in the store! That is also the reason why my friends and I come :) read more

Cool stuff, try upstairs for deals. Very friendly staff!!! They do tailoring too! They are hemming up a shirt for me for free, and mailing it to my place in WI for $10. I may or may not have gotten a free shirt too!? Do it up! read more

They will check you out in the dressing room just as a head up, but the clothes are cute enough you probably won't care.

The best boxer briefs in the Bay Area!!

The guys who work at Outfit and Knobs are becoming like friends to me. They are so stylish, kind, and helpful every time I visit. Especially Andy... He just makes me smile and is very knowledgeable about fashion. I highly recommend Outfit to any man out and about in the Castro! read more

This place prompted me to actually use my yelp account. All I can say is that I have never been so disrespected in my life. It's St. Patrick's day around 11pm, my friends and I walk past this place and decided to go in. Right off the bat the two sales clerks are laughing hysterically telling us they just finished off a blunt. We laughed and said it was fine. Then one of them proceeded to ask "who is who?" I leaned on my boyfriend to show that we were together. The same clerk then said "How stereotypical. An Asian girl with a white guy. I wanna see the day an Asian girl gets with a black or Hispanic guy!" Feeling uncomfortable my boyfriend and I left the store without our friend. I guess our friend didn't know we left because like 3 minutes later he comes out with the same clerk. We hear the guy point us out to our friend saying "There they are! Racist #1 and Racist #2!" Mind you we barely spoke a word to this guy and he called us racist because we're a "stereotypical". I could not believe this experience. I really hope the owners rethink who they hire because that kind of service will drive your business to the ground. read more

I have never felt more doted on in my life. The blonde, tall proprietor is the best, most attentive shop manager I have ever experienced.

I love this place the clothes are cute, the staff is friendly which is very rare for the castro, its usually filled with bitchy old queens like the one below me who left a negative review. read more

I didn't drop in for a purchase, but rather for a recommendation for a nearby bar for happy hour. Though I obviously wasn't going to generate a sale, the guy was super helpful about pointing me in the right direction. Love that long-range perspective of being good to the consumer and the general menschkeit of helping his fellow. read more

A very good experience. I went in a week ago and met Tyler, who was charming, and showed me all about how the company makes its own stuff, in san francisco... I went in today to by a pair of their pants and am waiting for them to be hemmed,,, more updates to come! read more
