Seven Favorite Things: Unionmade Goods

When it comes to local menswear, Unionmade Goods is pretty much aces. Their collection is always so varied, yet tightly curated, and huge. That said, it was particularly difficult narrowing down this list to a mere seven, but I will say my single favorite item from the current collection is definitely Alden of San Francisco's beatifully lush dark suede chukkas (#1) -- and this is coming from a not-huge-chukka-fan. The double zip wallet from Japanese retailer, Beams+ (#6), is another a fantastic design that will slip easily into your front or back pocket, and would be a killer accessory for women, too. In fact, ladies, if you're looking for a Valentine's gift, make Unionmade your go-to and, while you're there, don't overlook picking up something for yourself at this fine (menswear) establishment. 

1. Alden Unlined Chukka Boot in Dark Brown Suede, $460

2. Apolis & Unionmade San Francisco Market Bag, $68

3. Levi's Made and Crafted Drill Chino in Ochre, $195

4. The Hill-Side Selvedge Hickory Stripe Twill Pointed Tie, $95

5. Golden Bear Stinson Jacket in Sky Blue, $298

6. Beams+ Zip Pouch in Natural, $185

7. Beams+ Long Sleeve Madras in Navy Plaid, $230

Socking overpriced. Are they at least made in the USA ?

I'm sorry but $230 for a plaid shirt is just down right ridiculous. I like some of the things in Unionmade but they're way overpriced.

Seems like a man should be evaluating this collection. the bag (#2) is a complete waste of money. Buy your man the #2 for Valentine's Day and he is sure to break up with you.
