Gems Bowstache Tee!

This is one of my favorite designs Gem has come up with! The best thing about the design is the fact that the kids can put the mustache up to their face and be silly. Also the price is right for a tee that is completely made and designed locally. You did it again Gem!

Introducing Charlie Noble

We have just picked up a brand based out of the East Bay called Charlie Noble. CN is an artistically driven brand, focused not only on the continual creation of original graphic t-shirts, but also on garments intended to be subtle, refined versions of common workwear and the clothing of our military brethren.

With a past rooted in the sea, most of their designs focus on the ocean for what it is, a seemingly endless source of fortune and peril. Here is a couple of designs we now carry on-line and in-store.

Charlie Noble: Smoker Fights
Available in Heather Grey and Black
$26

Charlie Noble: Chuck
Available in Army and Black
$26

Check out the rest of the designs and colorways here.

5th Column

INVS is pleased to annouce that we have picked up the New York based brand, 5thColumn. This season is called IV [Reign of Terror] and each design has a significant meaning which you can read about here.

This design is by far my favorite because the photo was taken prior to 911 by the owner of 5C himself and pays tribute to the lost but not forgotten.

Check out all of the designs and colorways that are available in-store and on-line here.

Mister SFC = Giving Back

Now that we are located in the Tender-Nob we are occasionally exposed to some impoverish conditions, homelessness, and honestly...just some straight up crack-heads! In response to this, we'd like to help make a change. We decided instead of giving directly to some of these unfortunate individuals, we'd like to donate to a charity that we know will put our donations to good use! With that being said, we have added two new colors to our very own cut and sewn (Mr.) Henley made in Downtown San Francisco.


We also re-stocked the Navy and Heather Grey Henleys as well.

Ojisun x Gems Collab & Event

We are happy to annouce our toddler colab with Ojisun of Tokyo, Japan! We have both designed a kids t-shirt each and is based around the theme "I AM THE FUTURE."




Ojisun is coming to America! And i'm not talking about your Japanese uncle or dad's foreign friends. From the creators of the Punk Drunkers brand out of Tokyo,Japan comes Ojisun, which is a very cute and unique clothing collection for kids who have style and a sense of humor.

The name Ojisun is derived from the Japanese word for Middle Aged Man, (Ojisan)
So to think of kids as little middle aged people, it's quite hilarious. The clothing borrows from many trendy fashion ideas, yet fitting those ideas to a kids fashion sense. From a Houndstooth jacket with actual puppy dog tail, ears, and face scarf to match, to a collab with the Hello Kitty brand where she has traded her signature hair bow with a salary man for his work tie. Ojisun is a brand for children, where getting dressed for the day meets playing dress up.

Blurring the lines between fashion and play time is something that the brand has achieved wonderfully. So be sure to keep your kids looking fresh and fun in Ojisun!!

Starts 8pm @ D-Structure SF (Lower Haight & Fillmore)

Free Entrance

$2 Beer, $7 Cocktails
