Planting the Seed
A Modern-Day Mercantile Shop
It’s anyone’s guess how our summer’s going to unfold.
But based on the last few weeks’ impenetrable marine layer, ramping up for fall is a pretty good
idea.
So, we’ve found a new spot where you can get started...
Introducing
Seedstore, a modern mercantile shop stocked with old-school clothing brands, as well as
a few up-and-comers, opening tomorrow.
Formerly part of the old Busvan warehouse, Seedstore’s vibe is a sort of Wild West saloon meets ’70s
crash pad that’s really just missing a bar. Which means you’ll find a table of raw denim Hudsons under
the mounted cardboard bison head, and below one of the rope chandeliers are zip-up hoodies and thermals from
Alternative Apparel for when you’re Ocean Beach-bound.
Also sprinkled within the mix are flannels like the woodsman shirt from Woolrich Woolen Mills and jackets
like the vintage Americana-inspired military blazer from Superdry.
And since shopping is also better paired with drinks, you’ll want to join their upcoming bourbon-paired
trunk shows.
Bringing us back to ways to cope with this summer chill.
