Is there a good list of places to shop for menswear around the Bay Area? I'm finding it sorely lacking compared to NYC and LA. The best thing I've found is Evan Kinori on Valencia, which I greatly admire but isn't really my style.

For Street Wear and Denim, yes. For tailored clothing or good vintage, meh.

Here's an annotated map.

Here's a list of places that I've been to.
Standard & Strange, Oakland
Self Edge, San Francisco
Brogue, San Carlos
Wilkes Bashford, San Francisco
Evan Kinori (you mentioned), San Francisco

Add to that, Cable Car Clothiers, San Francisco, where it's always 1958.
Overpriced traditonal Ivy/trad tailored clothing.

Thanks. I need to check out Standard & Strange.

I would add MAC to the top tier of clothing stores in SF alongside Self Edge and Evan Kinori.

The annotated map on SF is useless. No one can add to it. I'm starting one and I'll post a link shortly that will allow us to maintain a map ourselves.

Okay. Here's a shared map of the places mentioned in this conversation. Please feel free to add stores, tailors, and vintage stores. I haven't added places like Suit Supply or Indochino - I personally don't want them there. We can discuss.
