A B Fits

Just a great shopping experience all around. Quality products with style that are not too trendy. My guy is tall, all legs and this place has jeans that are slim fit with a 35.5″ inseam. Almost impossible to find this combo of quality, style and length! Take note stylists! Terrific staff with knowledge of past purchases making it easy to breeze in & out– when you know what you want!

I finally decided to go for my holy grail of raw denim and bought a pair of Samurai Geisha. I originally wanted to get them hemmed at another store in Socal with more experience but gave A B Fits a try because of their denim collection and reviews. I am beyond disappointed that they did not get the hem right… One leg is longer than the other and I even expressed to them how important this pair jeans is to me and what it means to have it done right. If both sides were too long it wouldn’t be a problem but one hem is the right length and the other is too short… unbelievable… at least they got the tapering part right –_​-​. I am so disheartened that my favorite pair of jeans just got ruined if this can’t be fixed. I waited a really long time before purchasing this pair and it means the world to me… can’t believe it turned out like this.
If you have a pair of jeans that you love… beware and be sure to tell them the length exactly! Don’t depend on just the pinning because they only pin one side! I will definitely be bringing this back to get it straighten out, not about to let my $ 300 pair of jeans go to waste. Check Photos for the uneven hem!

Howard knows his stuff. After a quick conversation on selvage denim, he helped me pick out a hat right for the San Francisco summer. Great customer service. A total hidden gem!

This is THE spot for quality denim and the best customer service out there. They take the time to find the right pieces for you. There is no rush and no pressure to pick pieces that you’re not comfortable with. They do custom tailoring which makes all the difference for shorty’s like me. Their inventory is very high quality and the looks are classic but very on trend. Most of their items are made in the US or Japan and you are not going to find any sweat shop junk here, which means it’s going to last you for a really long time.
I always feel great when I leave this spot. New denim makes me feel good, I’m wearing my new Raleigh Surry’s on right now because Howard said «try these». He always picks out the perfect items for me. He just looks at you and knows what will look good. He is gifted. I can’t recommend AB enough. Go get a great pair on pants. Just go, you won’t regret it. When ever I walk in there I always have to do a quick check cause I usually have at least one of their pieces on already. Go wear great clothes and feel good.

Great shop for high-​quality jeans, many of them American-​made. Samantha helped me find the perfect fit. She had a good handle on how to work with my proportions and gave me solid advice on how to care for the jeans I chose. You can probably expect to spend around $ 200 per pair, and they throw in a free hem.

TL;DR: Howard’s the man. If you want quality denim, go here. We’re lucky to have a spot like this in SF. Alterations are great too (and way cheaper than Self Edge).
Howard knows his stuff, gives great recommendations, and has a laid back personality that I imagine would be inviting to even the noobest of denim noobs. His customer service alone is a reason to pick this place over the competition (trust me, I’ve tried a few others).
The shop has a good selection of US brands like 3Sixteen, Tellason, etc if I’m remembering correctly but also carries some Japanese brands (e.g. Big John). Some really nice Jungmaven tees (not in my affordability range but beautiful lol), Archival Clothing sweatshirts, buncha stuff worth checking out. Only reason I’d buy from another shop honestly is if there’s a maker I want that AB doesn’t carry (not like most of this stuff ever goes on sale, especially true of the brands AB Fits doesn’t carry).
I will say that the pieces here are out of the price range of many. There’s a whole debate there that I’m not getting into here, and if you can’t afford this stuff, I’m not stupid enough to judge you. If you, however, are privileged enough to afford it, I am kinda judging you if you buy crappy sweatshop jeans (only kinda judging cause I know «conscious» capitalism isn’t gonna save the world any time soon).

I’d forgotten what an awesome street that upper Grant area is! AB Fits used to be downtown, but now they’re ticked away in North Beach and its totally worth venturing to.
Amazing denim selection, and Howard will always find you the perfect fit! Brands like Chimala, St. James, Reinhard Plank fill the rugged space. Custom tailoring available too!

The grooviest denim emporium anywhere! Great denim selection including Raleigh, Rising Sun, Big John. Wonderfully curated accessories & men’s&women’s apparel emphasizing hi-​qual smaller emerging lines you don’t see elsewhere. Fewer racks than some other San Fran haute denim merchants is strictly quality over quantity. These dewds have killer taste & consistently create a groovy personal scene. Customer service is courteous & knowledgable like an old school bespoke tailor. Charmin’ location way up Grant (you’re half way to coit tower). All props to this place & don’t ever change!

The second I walked into the shop I was a greeted by a beautiful dog, whose name and breed I did not get. They had a wide selection of apparel, and a beautifully set up store front. The woman who helped me had such an impressive knowledge of jean brands and types, and was able to find the perfect pair of jeans for me on the first try. The hemming is done on the spot for free, and they were even willing to ship the jeans out to my home in Boston.
This place had the best service I’ve ever received at a clothing store, and I will certainly be returning here for another pair of jeans next time I’m in the market for some. I can’t praise this place enough.

I didn’t buy anything here but my girlfriend did. Howard was super cool and helpful. Very knowledgeable about his craft which is something that I respect.

great denim store! this isnt one of your «i think i’m cool so i’m gonna open a store» store. this is a REAL denim spot. Howard, the owner, knows what he’s talking about and they have things here that you probably wont find many other places. if you know denim, or want to know more about it, this is the place to come!

Howard at any butt fits is seriously a denim wizard. I have been looking for a nice pair of jeans for 2+ years. Being in San Antonio Texas there aren’t options for shopping like this. But talking with Howard for about 30 seconds he pulled a few pairs of jeans for me and showed me to a fitting room. All the while checking out my boyfriends wranglers asking about them being «broken twill» (my bf had to google what that even meant and he is pretty knowledgable about denim) so that just goes to show how much magic Howard holds. Anyway. I put on the first pair and they fit PERFECTLY that has never ever happened before. I am so excited about finally having my perfect pair of jeans. Thanks so much A B FITS!

Did not expect to buy 2 pairs of jeans, but very happy I did! One of the only places I’ve found that sells raw denim jeans for women, this shop also hems/​tailors in-​store. Howard, one of the staff, gave me a grey pair to try on, and I was hesitant, but totally fell in love with them. He really knows what he’s doing (even gave me a discount to meet my price range!), and I honestly couldn’t be happier with my experience. Will definitely be visiting again!

I came in with no knowledge of denim (quality or fit) and a desire to find good denim that flattered my shape.
Sam was kind, patient, and clearly had an extensive knowledge of denim. She brought me multiple sizes and styles and gave me more attention than I have had in most clothing stores. While I am still torn between a mid and high waist, I will most certainly be making my purchase here.
It’s so refreshing to have such awesome customer service and a great product. Rock on!

It’s rare when every piece that you buy from a shop gets compliments from friends and strangers. At first you could think «do I look like a troll on those other days?» No you’re not fashion challenged, you’ve just been given clothes that compliment your body and fit your lifestyle by the wonderful gang of A/​B Fits. It may be hard, but relax and chat with them. They’ll take a look at what you chose, ask about when or where you’d wear them, and find the right size or complimentary styles for you. If the jeans or jacket are a little off they’ll alter them for you and in a few days you’ll have a bespoke outfit.
Now let’s talk about the people there. Howard (the owner) keeps the selection fresh and up to date with high quality, sturdy fabrics that maintain a feel of timely style. SAM! What more can I say about her. She already had good taste but she’s really come into her own with great recommendations that may put you in a new style but not have you looking like a try hard. If you visit more than once she’ll know how your body wears the clothes not how the clothes wear you.
Now regarding cost, it ain’t cheap but you get what you pay for. I’ve bought jeans at half or a third of the price but they haven’t lasted or looked nearly as good as one pair from A/​B, so long term it may work out better to just bite the bullet and get one piece rather than two from somewhere else that may stay in the closet after a couple of wears.

In terms of both service and stock list, AB Fits is honestly as good as it gets.
Sam, George and the legendary Howard do well to make you feel like you’re at home while perusing their seemingly endless supply of (don’t quote me on this) vintage workwear apparel and denim. For those that are serious about finding a pair of pants that fits like they want, ‘Any Butt Fits’ is honestly the best you’re going to find in the area. They stock various fits/​jeans for both men and women, from skinny to straight, all from reputable producers, so quality is never an issue. Plus, they’ll alter your denim purchases for free after noting where changes need to be made.
Apart from the buying experience, AB Fits is also a joy to work with in terms of alterations. The crew is extremely knowledgeable about pants and really does deliver when it comes to fix-​ups. Which are reasonable.
The shop has provided to both denim connoisseurs and casual-​pants-​wearers for 20+ years, and the quality of their goods, their customer service and their overall knowledge of the industry is exemplary.
Definitely stop by for a positive experience.

I needed to taper my selvedge denim and this was the right place to go.
Samantha was the girl that helped me out and she was very friendly and definitely knew her stuff. The price was right and I was in and out of the store within 15 min. The turnaround was fast too! The alteration was done in less than a week and I am more than happy with the result.
All of my future repair and alteration will be done by Any Butt Fits.

So, I’ve been pretty quiet on Unilocal; in fact, this is my first review in almost a year of owning an account. However, after reading the most recent 1 star comment from Zoe, I just had to write something. I started shopping at AB Fits about 5 years ago. And though I wore jeans everyday, my knowledge of quality, durability and even proper treatment was next to nothing — just because you eat everyday, doesn’t make you a food expert — but I digress. Today, I consider Howard a good friend. Though you can read into this as a friend trying help another friend, please keep in mind 2 things: 1). I’m a regular in many stores, and Howard is the only friend I’ve made being one; 2). If AB Fits sold crap, Howard and I wouldn’t even know each other. I was a customer before becoming a regular and a regular before becoming a friend.
The reason why I still only buy clothes from AB Fits even though I moved to Atlanta a year ago — yes, Howard ships me clothes to try on — is because of the quality and knowledge you get from AB Fits. Howard is passionate about his craft, and this makes you passionate about it. And, just as a quick note, life gets pretty interesting when you become passionate about your appearance.

Did you ever see the Seinfeld «Soup Nazi» episode? It was funny right?
Well now imagine it was an episode about jeans… and I give you Howard, The Jean Nazi!
If you’ve been looking for a place to buy jeans where you can be treated like a complete jeantard, condescended to and generally treated as if you have never even seen a pair of pants before, then this store is for you. And you get to pay a premium for it.
I’m all for supporting local businesses, and love a neighborhood boutique. I also love spending money on quality cool things, but I don’t expect to be treated badly in the process.
To be even fairer I gave this store two tries. The second was not better than the first, and I ended up buying a pair of pretty nice jeans but will never go back.

These guys carry some awesome denim brands and have a great knowledge of what they sell. I just had two jeans repaired here and while a little pricy, they did a fantastic job that will last me a long time.
I’m not giving 5 stars because they are cash only which is laughable for a shop where the average piece is well over $ 100. I’m all for helping business owners run a lean business but come on, $ 200 purchases as cash only? Seems a little shady no?
Square readers can be set up in an hour. Please handle this.
Otherwise great shop!
