New in The Shop.
S&S Pick of The Week.
The Real McCoy's C-1 Vest is the ultimate accessory, designed for one purpose and one purpose only: storage. Available in just a single size, the fit is adjusted with three HBT ties that secure that back, allowing this to be worn over (or under) an extremely wide range of different garments. It's cut from a cotton/rayon blend, a lightweight and durable weave, and trimmed with a total of sixteen pockets, each featuring a printed list of the items intended to be stored within. You'd be hard-pressed to find an item more beloved by our staff right now, as everyone seems to really be into both vests and pockets lately...

The Sustenance Vest | Field Guide
We love a vest and this might be our favorite. Designed with a pocket for everything a WWII pilot needed to survive, the C-1 Emergency Sustenance Vest made it easier to bail out and survive on the ground if your plane went down. You just had to survive the descent first. A one-size-fits-all design, the C-1 replaced separate survival bags and satchels, placing everything you'd need on your person at all times. Since the 1940s, the vest has gone through many more iterations, but the original remains a favorite among collectors to this day.

Unfortunately, many have been lost to the sands of time despite at one point being the bigger than name brands today. Like Neustadter Bros who were founded even before Levi's in San Francisco.

Making Regenerative Whiskey w/ Rob Easter of Modern Ancient Spirits
Our pal Rob has been a friend and collaborator for about as long as S&S has been around. Every few months, he comes by to pay us a visit and catch up — so we grabbed our camera and met up at our Berkeley store to talk about the surprising overlap between the clothing we sell and the spirits Rob makes, as well as our shared philosophies in business and life. We tapped Elliot back in for this one so that he could use his agriculture degree a little bit, too.

The Real McCoy's.
Headquartered and manufactured entirely in Japan, The Real McCoy's is arguably best reproduction brand in the world. With an almost-obsessive dedication to quality, they recreate the most unique and iconic styles of the last 100+ years from the yarn up. Every single piece in their lineup features completely custom fabrics, leathers, trims, thread, and more, all re-engineered from archival and historical samples.
To say the brand is best-known for any single thing would be a massive understatement—from their cotton knitwear, to their atelier-produced leather jackets, to their vintage military reproductions, they make the very best version of any given style. Their multiple sub-labels cover different eras and niches of Americana, allowing McCoy's to produce a wide and diverse range of different garments every season.
