What we say

Exquisitely stylish menswear
Don't let the the modest storefront of this tiny union square shop dissuade you from checking out one of the finest West Coast collections cutting-edge fashions, straight from the runways of Paris and Milan, the ateliers of Tokyo. The Archive, where owners David and Arthur will personally trick you out for any occasion, offers rare designs from creative fashionistas M.A. +, CP Company, Rick Owens, Robert Geller and Tokyo's amazing Undercover and Label Under Construction. San Francisco's own military-influenced Nice Collective earns its own rack of cool duds.

***** Whole new shopping experience
Posted: May 16, 2009 - Visited: May 2009
Okay, i have to admit than when i first popped into The Archive I was a Brooks Brothers, J Crew kinda dresser. Nothing fit quite right, all right angles and very baggy, and i looked just like everyone else in SF. This store literally changed my wardrobe. While I came out of the store with a smaller bank account, I found all kinds of cool treasures, many at quite reasonable prices. Particularly love my MA + leather jacket, Undercover vest and Nice collective cargo pants. If you get them at a downtime, say a weekday afternoon, you will feel like you are in the middle of your own fashion show, with David and Arthur the owner providing a personal tour of the latest.

Forget about the ill-fitting suit that you got at Banana Republic or J. Crew. It's about time for a much needed upgrade. Just make sure to bring your black AMEX on your first visit to this men's boutique that carries several cutting-edge non-mainstream designers from Japan and Europe. If you want to stand out in a crowd in a good way then I suggest that you visit this store. I'm in love with this store. Where else can you buy Attachment, Rick Owens, MA+, Robert Geller, Julius, Viridi-Ann, etc.? And the best thing about this store is the service. The ambiance in this store is very relaxed and laid back which I personally love. No air of arrogance or snootiness is present at this amazing store. Make sure to say hi to Arthur and David if you swing by their store.
