Claflin, Thayer & Co.

I want to take a second to talk about my favorite place to visit when I'm in San Francisco. Temescal Alleys is home to many great small businesses, but my favorite is @claflinthayer which is where my beautiful new leather jacket came from. I had been dreaming about this jacket ever since I visited last year.
Well, right after I got to the hotel yesterday I bolted for Oakland. I knew the traffic was going to be bad and I knew I wasn't going to make it to @claflinthayer in time. I sent Liz an email and she responded right away. She contacted her employee, Lee, who stayed open a little late so I could come in.
I am so grateful to Liz and Lee. I am now the proud owner of this beautiful, handmade, German leather, burgundy jacket. Meeting Lee was a joy as well; she's from Michigan too! I can't wait to visit again next year.

The owner is a true artisan w/ such a cool, creative vision! Useful, beautiful durable, timeless, clothing and accessories for men and women. Great gifts!

I bought my leather belt here four years ago and I wear it every day. The quality is fantastic and it's still practically brand new!

This shop carries a nice variety of tees, jackets,belts,knit caps,woolen scarves for men women and children mostly under $100. My favorite are the Velva Sheen tshirts.
