Awesome place to get a Hawaiian shirt, but they also have other fun stuff like records and sports memorabilia. My wife even bought a sweater. They have the Magnum P.I. shirt which will make you the talk of the town for anyone who watched the show back in the day. I get compliments on my shirt all the time when I rock it around town. Owner is the best and really helpful. Would also recommend swinging by Dumpling House which is on the same block. Your mind will be blown at the size of the dumplings. read more

Swanbergs is a must stop when you're exploring Midtown! Originally the Hawaiian items in the window drew us in, but upon exploring the store you realize it's so much more. They have a mix of new and retro items with Hawaiian and Sports memorabilia. Not only could you look around for hours, you could talk to the staff for even longer! Personally, I love the Hawaiian items and we have purchased multiple gems over the years like our tiki mug, that we have as a toothbrush holder in our guest room, and a giant tiki bowl that's from an old Stockton tiki bar that no longer exists. If you're looking for a memorable gift, this is a great spot to find some unique items that become great conversation starters. read more

Great selection of Hawaiian shirts, both new and recycled. Lots of sizes available. Prices are less than I expected making my purchase a great value. The owner Lauren is a very easy going, affable guy who exudes Aloha spirit. He's very knowledgeable and wants every customer to have a great experience. No high pressure sales. My focus is on the Hawaiian shirts but there are also sports related shirts and some options for women. I've been going to Swanberg's for years. Lauren has the best Hawaiian themed clothing in the Sacramento area by far. I recommend this business. Forget the internet. Support this local business. You won't regret it! read more

I've been buying my Rainbow sandals from this store for a little while now, every year and a half or so when I need a new pair. It's a cute little store, I pay the same price as at the department store for the sandals, and the service is great. Would recommend a stop! read more

Very nice selection of items from Hawaii. Clothing, gifts and miscellaneous items. I was looking for some shampoo that I had tried. Found it right next to the cashier. Very friendly owner/ proprietor. read more

Great Pacific Islander store! It was nice to have been reminded of my roots and Islands. How wonderful it is to have a store like this in midtown Sacramento! In addition, the owner was super friendly, down to earth and it was great to have chatted with him and get to know how he started in his business. Thank you for the tropical lotion L! Aloha read more

I highly recommend Swanbergs on J for anyone wanting to buy original Hawaiian shirts.

Very legit Hawaiian styles. Got a pair of OluKai sandals and an authentic Hawaiian "Paradise Found - Tom Selleck" shirt. The shop is like a small museum with everything Hawaii. The owner is knowledgeable about his wares so when I asked him if he had the fancy leather OluKai's with the stitched (Mekila) embossing, he opened his catalog and found it. Then he said he'd check to see if it was available and order them for me. I offered to put down some cash and he said no worries. Too cool. As I write this, my lady is in Kauai, and loving life with her sister and friends. Before Covid, we would go to the islands every year. I can't wait to go back. All summer, all I rock is Hawaiian style. In fact, when I go - the locals let me slip into the best beaches and catch waves without hassle - I so miss Makena (Big Beach) where the breakers break a lot of mainlanders, I think somebody even died this year, again. Be safe, and never turn your back on the ocean. She's unforgiving. Out of water, I am nothing. Aloha! read more

What a pleasant surprise....was wandering downtown, saw Hawaiian shirts in the window, and ducked in out of the heat to find a delightful shop full of memorabilia, tiki mugs, flip flops and Hawaiian shirts from all makers. It was like finding a little bit of Adventureland and Maui in sacramento. Found an out of circulation vinyl record of tiki music, rare tiki mugs, and other items from far flung Polynesian restaurants. Helpful gentleman working there, cheerful and funny. Didn't even know this store was here, but now that I know, I'll be back. There's this rare tiki mug, you see..... read more

For anybody who has known me for a length of time they are probably well aware of my dislike for clothes shopping so this spur of the moment experience I had at this clothing store was quite the rarity. I had walked the stretch of J Street from my hotel near Old Sacramento up to 20 something street to a running shoe and apparel store to pick up my race packet for the half marathon I was in town for, and having done so I was simply checking out local businesses for a nice place for a sit down lunch when something hanging in the window of this store caught my eye, stopped me dead in my tracks and without hesitation brought me inside this store. I'll bet you're wondering what I saw in that window (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/swanbergs-on-j-sacramento?select=crMWA-a0zzFi7uFFXZ6LsA#9Ilkak-DcGi6LuJ2ofEG_w). The store specializes in Hawaiian shirts, and the friendly young lady behind the counter told me these had arrived quite recently and were already a popular item of sale. Checking out the shirt racks I found one that was in my size. I didn't pass on it either as I looked it over and took it straight to the counter. Quick and painlessly I paid for my brand new San Francisco Giants authentic Reyn Spooner Hawaiian print shirt (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/swanbergs-on-j-sacramento?select=crMWA-a0zzFi7uFFXZ6LsA#crMWA-a0zzFi7uFFXZ6LsA), and I was, like Giants announcer Duane Kuiper might say, "... outta here!" My previous Reyn Spooner San Francisco Giants Hawaiian shirt was from way back in 2000 when Pacific Bell Park (now AT&T Park) was featured on the print, but this one has both the Giants' recent World Series Champions logos featured on it. I'm ready for the 2013 baseball season now! Thank you Swanbergs!! read more

Proving that shopping local is fantastic... Knowing about this little gem, seems to run in my family. Maybe its the plethora of Hawaiian shirts...maybe its the SF Giants shirts...or maybe its the SF Niners shirts...or maybe it's just a great, local company. Its as if the 808 threw up in here. Hawaiian paraphernalia lines all the walls, every rack, every INCH of this place. However, if you're in the know then you know they hold some of the most sacred shirts here - sports themed, Hawaiian shirts. A niche market, I'm guessing, but one that my family fully supports. My last interaction with them was fabulous. I needed a birthday present for my dad, who is a rather hefty guy, so his size isn't that average - 2XL. So I went on their Yelp and found their address. Promptly contacted them via email. Shortly thereafter I heard a response. Not only did she have what I needed, she was even willing to hold it for a week - even though this was a hot commodity. Literally, she had a new shipment in when I called and when I went into pick up my hold, I was told people had been calling to try and buy my shirt from them. True to their word they held it for me. I walked in bought the shirt and know my dad will be ecstatic with this one of a kind gem. Sometimes shopping local isn't all its cracked up to be, but Swanbergs reminded me how novel and awesome of an experience it can be. Swanberg doesn't sound Hawaiian, but they have that 808 lovin' goin on BRAH! read more

I don't see many clothing stores in midtown where something in the display window always appeals to me. Swanbergs, however, has an extensive if not larger selection of clothing for the male population, making them one of my first go-to's when seeking out something fun and casual for summer fun. I should note that they specialize in sports-themed and Hawaiian-themed clothes, so don't come in expecting top of the line fashions. The whole shop is about casual living. I'd wear something from here to a barbecue, beach or baseball game, but that's about it. If you're a baseball fan, they have the best selection of shirts (for men and women) I've ever seen. Just be prepared to pay a pretty penny because nothing here is particularly cheap. Besides some inflated prices, this is a one-stop shop for the flip-flop-wearing-casual-beach-bum-warm-weather enthusiast. In other words, it's right up my alley. read more

A little piece of Pacific paradise on J street. This spot offers unique clothing perfect for Sacramento summers or your upcoming beach trip. The prices aren't cheap but you're obviously paying for quality and I was able to score my Cuba bound father a classic rayon dress shirt. The gentleman that own this spot is a delight to chat with and I'm so glad we have local gems like Swambergs...shop local! read more

Swanbergs On J - Please note the hours are different than listed on Yelp - Men's Clothing Near Me - Sacramento, California

Walked in this store looking for a Father's Day present. Mentioned to the owner (who was working the store at the time) that I had seen a shirt in the window a few weeks back and vaguely described it to him. He instantly knew what shirt I was referring to and knew that he had the size I needed stored away! He pulled it out and even showed me a couple other options/colors. VERY friendly guy, even gave me a card to put in and carefully boxed it in a USPS box and gave me detailed instructions on how to ship it using the self-serve kiosk at the post office! Recommended shipping options too! Truly the best service I have had in a while, I will surely be back to select Christmas gifts for my father as well! Can't wait to tell all my dad's friends about this store too as they are all into the Hawaiian/Tikki style shirts and accessories! read more

Swanbergs On J - Men's Clothing Near Me - Sacramento, California

Yikes -- this place is like being thrown into a Jimmy Buffett concert with all the Hawaiian shirts and beach paraphernalia Easily overlooked are the true gems of this store: the Sacramento neighborhood shirts/sweatshirts. They have a few in stock (Midtown, East Sac, Land Park), but they are available to be custom made. The salesperson told me that they'll embroider any neighborhood on a variety of clothing items (hoodie sweatshirts, zip sweatshirts, long/short sleeve tees, etc). I think the price is about $25 for a short sleeve tee. Definitely worth checking out ---- when I was in there they were just about to update their website with the neighborhood options. Now I'll finally be able to represent East Sac in a peaceful, non-destructive manner (unlike my current habit of tagging public and private property). read more

Swanbergs is the best place in Sacramento to find Tiki and Tiki-inspired gifts... Lauren the owner is incredibly nice, helpful and knowledgeable... When I was shopping for gifts for my husband's birthday, he gave me advice and bits of info on the collection of Tiki mugs that he had available.... very cool! :) And of course, as other reviewers have mentioned, Swanbergs has lots of Hawaiian shirts and Island-inspired clothing (mostly for men, but there is a small collection of women's dresses, shirts) in addition to all the gifty items. Just a fun, unique place... there are also little Tiki events from time to time. read more

Very unique shop. In fact, I would say, this is Lauren's shop. Everything in here seems to be stuff he enjoys, from the top-of-the-line Hawaiian shirts, to excellent sandals, to tiki mugs, to vintage-style baseball t-shirts and baseball gear. That's the kind of shop I really enjoy, where the owner's personality and likes are really on display, and everything in the store is something they're passionate about and know a lot about. He also makes local-themed t-shirts and sweatshirts which are awfully cool and use great material, too. Lauren is a great guy and will not hesitate to help you out, tell you all about what he's selling, give you recommendations, and even let you know about cool stuff going on in the community. Great store and a really unique part of Midtown! read more

It's not often one finds a retail business which prides itself on building lasting customer relationships anymore. You will not find a better example of true customer service in a highly relaxed atmosphere. I often come in during lunch or between errands just to look around. Lauren will answer questions, or catch up with me about local happenings, or the last Giants game - it's never a pressure sell. Of course, the main reason I go here is for the selection. Swanberg's is pure, authentic Aloha - they stock a complete range of Hawaiian shirts, from the beer-swilling beach party look to upscale evening resort shirts. Great local-themed wear, too. A couple months ago, Lauren turned me on to Olukai beach sandals; they've been the most comfortable sandals I've ever owned. The store is packed solid - I'm not kidding, you'd be hard-pressed to find a wider variety of shirts with so much character. read more

This is as good as local can get. Came here to buy the BF an Hawaiian shirt as a gift. The owner was super helpful and friendly. Also got a few other local t-shirts. They have selections from Kauai's Island Soap and Candle Works, including lots of Surfer's Salve--Burt's Bees has NOTHING on this stuff. Lotions, soaps...good stuff. The Hawaiian shirt didn't fit the BF, and I had to do an exchange, and it was no problem whatsoever. The owner helped point us in the direction of brands and sizes which would work. There are sandals, t-shirts, Hawaiian shirts, baseball shirts and also baseball shirts from older leagues. Great place to pick up a gift for a Father's Day or Christmas. Shop local!!! Shop Swanberg's. read more

Way cool place for some really cool shirts! If you can't find exactly what your looking for, just ask Loren the shop owner. He knows his stuff, so if he doesn't have it, he most likely knows how to find it. If you see something you like, make sure and get it, cause it will probably be gone the next time you stop by. The inventory changes frequently, so there's always something different. This place is going to keep me looking good! read more

Smal quaint store good quality merchandise a little pricy but i enjoyed the experience i will go there again

Best place to find Aloha shirts that I have found. Good high quality brands. I even found a Christmas themed shirt. I hope they survive the COVID shut down. I like going there every few months to add to my collection. I even bought a re issue of the original red Magnum PI. shirt. read more

B G. I agree with you, this all that is Buffett. I was looking for a perfect pair of Reef's and with help from another Parrothead I was told to go here. If your looking for fashion that is everything Summer come here. They didn't have the exact pair of sandals I wanted so, they gave me a catalog and said we'll order anything out of there. So after getting a basic pair of Reef's (which is part of the midtown must have attire) I ordered thee perfect pair of sandals to be in stock in 2 days. Don't walk by, step in and get a perfect Tiki, Hawaiian, Beach loving attire or kitchy mai tai glass. Keep small business alive in Midtown. read more

We previously frequented Swanberg's in Curtis Park and Swanberg's on X Street across from Home Style. Swanberg's on J is the new, old Swanberg's for Men. The current space features a roomier layout, more products, and a great feel that's at home on fun and funky J Street. I found a perfect gift on Swanberg's sale rack, but also took time to peruse the moderately priced racks and shelves of Sacramento, vintage (looking), and mild-to-extreme Hawaiian shirts - plus a ton of tchotchkes and kitschy bits. I recommend Swanberg's for Father's Day gifts. I scored a subdued Hawaiian shirt for $45 in a gift box. read more

Awesome shop with patented prints! The owner is wonderful and the quality is hard to match. Shop local and support this fabulous business!

Older person working was very very rude. Did not feel welcome at all in the store. I wanted to get a Curtis Park shirt but after walking in I wanted to leave right away, and so I did. Never going back to this place. read more

Loren the shop owner is awesome! He carries an eclectic selection of men's shirts--from Hawaiian to rocker--so you can find anything you need. Really helpful and knowledgeable. Bought a cool shirt for a good friend and he loves it!! read more

Since I wore my first Hawaiian shirt in the '50s, they've always been a favorite piece of wearable artwork. Unfortunately, most shirts are low budget, cheesy renditions of the 'real deal'. After cruising the shirt shops/surf emporiums on the West Coast & Hawaii, this gem of a store in Sacramento ranks with the best, including Bailey's in Waikiki. Many of the shops in Hawaii may sell only one line of fine shirts, like Tori Richard. Lauren has the usual great selections from many different companies. Cheap? You get what you pay for....I'd rather have one Tori or Kahala than ten of the down & dirty knockoffs. I still have some of the classic shirts from the '50s & '60s... the shirts at Swanberg's have the same quality fit and finish, and in many cases exceed the originals. How many men's clothing items can you buy today that may be a future 'classic' for another generation? The store has so much more than just island shirts...the leisure lifestyle is well-served by so many items not seen in other retail establishments. The Olukai sandals made all my other flip-flops obsolete...by far the most comfortable I've tried. Since I am a daily walker/hiker my feet are sometimes sore at the end of the trek. The Olukai sandals are my cure for soreness when no other footwear will suffice. As others have mentioned, the customer service at Swanberg's is the reason why you shop at a small unique store. The owner really knows his merchandise and cares about the person who walks into his establishment. How many times does that concept happen to any of us on a daily basis? read more
