Yoo the Man
Hyden Yoo's Fall Collection Arrives
You're no slacker.
You work hard. You play hard.
Which means you need clothes that can keep up—think stuff that looks as good at a FiDi office as it
does at a Mission bar.
And maybe nobody gets that better than menswear designer
Hyden Yoo.
Now, that name may ring a bell. You remember a Hyden Yoo who won season two of
Fear Factor by
eating a cod egg sack, then for an encore sucked on a goat's teat on the champions show. But surely that's
not—
Yes, the very same. He used his fifty-grand
Factor windfall to get started, and now his full
collection is trickling into select SF boutiques.
His shirts look great tucked in or out thanks to a narrower fit and a slightly shorter cut than traditional
dress shirts. His dressed-up khakis feature contrast lining at the pocket edge, which should earn you praise
as a man who pays attention to the details.
You'll also find vests and sweaters, plus two jackets we've got our eye on: a black nylon anorak accented by
an orange-and-blue-plaid flannel lining, and a slim-fitted navy trench, which can be dressed up or
down.
Perfect for a quick turn from PowerPoint to pints.
