What an experience. I never knew mens suiting was so extensive. Came here with my husband who got a gift card. He’s a lawyer and wears conservative suits, so it was great to see how many options he could get. A great atmosphere and the sales guy was very helpful.

We came in to get my husband a new suit for an up coming very SoCal wedding and future suit type events. We ended up with a tux and a suit and couldn’t be happier. The whole experience of picking out the materials was really fun. The owners and staff were so accommodating, friendly, and gracious. They bent over backwards to help accommodate our needs. We couldn’t have asked for better service! We’re both UX designers and from our vantage point it was very apparent the time and attention that went into crafting this business: from beautiful quality fabrics to the personal attention paid to us while we made decisions about everything from the button hole stitching to the fabric to lining on the coat. After the suit was ordered we were emailed by the staff, which was a nice touch. It’s nice to feel like we were still apart of the process even after we left the store. The best part was the quality of the tux, shirt and tailoring. My husband is tall and skinny, but he’s got broad shoulders and things rarely fit him(sleeves are too short, torso of the shirt is too big, back of the shirt rides up above his pants when he bends over). The staff and owners spent extra time during the fitting to show us how each decision to pin would sit so that we had a better idea of what we were buying. When we went back to pick up the tux I was so floored at how a suit could transform the man I love so much. My husband is a pretty thoughtful dresser, but oh man did he look hot in that tux. I wish he had more reasons to wear it. We’re both looking forward to seeing the suit when it’s finished. I’m also looking forward to getting a jacket made for me. Finding someone who will make a tailored jacket for a woman is thrilling!

I can’t recommend this place enough. 1) Klein Epstein & Parker’s tailoring and customer service is on another level. I won’t use anyone else after having alterations done by them. They’re insanely good and they go out of their way when you don’t expect them to do so. 2) Designing a new suit was a delight. There were a lot of decisions to be made, but I never felt overwhelmed. Their staff always knew when to jump in and provide advice. I’ve yet to get my new suit, so I can’t speak to the fit. 3) These folks are also a great resource for dress shirts, ties and socks. They will tailor their ready-to-wear shirts for you; moreover, their accessories are unique and well chosen.

I had all but given up on the chance that SF would one day be able to lure boutique men’s fashion shops into the city. Wingtip was able to deliver an amazing store with incredible interior décor and detail but their offerings came up short. Alas! Klien Epstein & Parker to the rescue! You would expect a store like this to be in SoHo in Manhattan — not in SF. If you want Birkenstocks or a Northface jacket there are 10,000 places in SF for that but finding quality men’s fashion with color, style and spunk is harder than trying to get a reservation at State Bird Provisions. I must warn you, once you step in and examine there clothing and options, you will never be the same. You can customize suit buttons, stitching on the button holes, inside collar lining, elbow pads, and inside coat lining!!! Their inventory of ties, bow-ties and pocket-squares are pretty solid as well. Given that this is their 3rd location(other 2 are in LA/OC), the inventory is not online just yet(in terms of viewing info, colors, patterns, etc) but I imagine over time that will change. Although their store is small, you should budget quite a bit of time to examine all the options in the swatch-books.

Hip male professionals — rejoice! The third branch of the funky SoCal made-to-measure tailors, Klein Epstein & Parker, has arrived! It’s their first franchise in Northern California and also the first shop to open in the new 300 Ivy building — Hayes Valley just got even cooler! The shop has a vintage vibe that matches their stylish brand. This is the place to go if you want to stand out from the conventional suit-wearing crowd; K.E.P.‘s suits are unique, fashionable and fun. It’s got a hefty price tag, but you can customize your suit to match your personality — from the color, fabric, buttons, threading and embroidery. Definitely worth considering for that special occasion…
