This is not some spicy holiday story. I wish it was. Instead it is a tale of disappointment, leading to euphoria. I am in search of some pants because a certain European tailor decided to complete only the suit jacket and not the pants. So here we are, in San Francisco in search of pants. And fine trousers are what is needed specifically. Local bespoke. I hear from an esteemed member that Tailor's Keep and Wingtip are good places to talk to. So that is my first step. Wish me well.

I would stay away from Wing Tip.
Not from personnal experience.
Just my opinion that a place that offers
a private club, cigar lounge, and barbershop
as well as a men's shop should be depended upon to
produce a fine pair of bespoke trousers. I've visited the
mens shop several times and come away the the
impression that it is a poorly-curated hodgepodge of styles
and brands. My guess it that WingTip will compound your
initial disappointmnet with your European tailor.

Thanks comrade. Coincidentally, before reading your post, I made a visit to tailors keep and had a great time. I loved their current space and was impressed with their bar cart. Wish I had enjoyed a cocktail. Next time. Their service was excellent and they are clearly excited to produce fine clothing. I look forward to enjoying the manufacturing process. Here is a mediocre photo.
