Gearing Up for Fall at Acre/SF

Which means it’s getting cold out, and you’ll need warmer clothes. Preferably from a hybrid shop/café that brews Blue Bottle Coffee to order. Behold: Acre/SF and your fall shopping list...

What: A classic, brown, felted-wool porkpie hat blocked by hand in Pennsylvania.
Why: Sometimes your fedora looks a little too lumpy.
