Nomads

I am so incredibly sorry to see that THIS PLACE HAS CLOSED!
I’ve shopped here for years and they’ve always had really great stuff. Not cheap, I’ll admit, but really nice offerings. I don’t know where I’ll go now. Such a bummer.

This place is a scam. I spent $ 130 on a shirt, and then could not return or exchange it. I was told by the clerk I would have a month to return it, and then upon arriving at the store I was told there is only a 7 day window! I hope this place goes out of business sooner rather than later so that others are not stuck with products they cannot use. They did not even offer store credit :(

My girlfriend bought me a shirt here for Christmas. It was too big. I tried to return it a month later, which I admit, is a bit on the late side.
The clerks were unsympathetic, if not outright smug: They have a seven day exchange policy, extended a week for Christmas gifts. Apparently, it’s not even possible to return items. I figured I’d go online and make my case via email, but the website doesn’t have contact info. So I’m stuck with the shirt.
When did clothing retail stop being about customer service? Seven days is a stupid return policy for mid-​high end clothing, at least with respect to someone like me. I might easily have spent many times the wholesale price had they eaten the cost of the return. Instead, I won’t be returning, and I will be sharing my experience with other potential customers.

great styles, great nick nacks.
Customer service could use some help. My conversation with the cashier was like talking to cro-​magnon man. I’ll still give it 5 stars though since this was the first time it’s happened to me there.

I’ve been shopping here whenever we are in San Francisco for the last 18 years! The hubs always finds at least one thing to buy. I like it because many of the brands are made in the USA and I LOVE shopping with small biz owners. The staff is always helpful. The store is neat and well-​organized. I was happy to see that they were carrying Grown and Sewn. A cool company for khakis from NYC.

This place is great! I came in here to find some barber products by imperial, and the sales guy was super nice and helpful. They also have a good selection of belts, watches, clothes, etc. Definitely worth checking out.

Lovely men’s shop. Sincere lust after many of the items here. Some of it is quite pricey, but I snagged a nice looking slouchy beany for a reasonable penny. Staff was super friendly and didn’t gawk at the girl gawking at the pretty boys stuff.

Awesome Men’s store! I went there looking for a specific Nixon watch (thanks Unilocalers). Their Nixon selection was the best I’ve seen in the city. They were super friendly and helpful, without being too pushy. The day I went, they had a whole bunch of cool stuff on sale. I love their hats, I love their bracelets and wallets, and I absolutely their sweaters, jackets, and shirts. Totally dig this place. I’ll definitely be back — regularly!

I wander in to Nomads when I am looking for a gift for the special guy in my life. Everyone I have spoken to there has been very knowledgeable of their products and willing to help. They are also very patient when answering my many questions.
Good prices on jeans and they carry a lot of good men’s accessories that make for nice small gifts like grooming products, wallets, etc. They also have a decent sized sale section. The store is smaller but they carry a wide variety of men’s items so it is worth checking out.

This store is great. They have a great selection of Fred Perry among other brands. They have great accessories as well.

I browse here every month or two to see what’s new. It’s a reliable source of stylish local clothes and what not. I bought a handmade jacket I think they made and it’s attention to detail is impressive. I still love to wear it after years of use. I’ve also bought some t-​shirts, button ups and pants here and they’ve always been good quality. It may sting your pocket book a little but you’ll feel better about it later when you still love it years from now. I wouldn’t buy a wardrobe here but I like to make choice selections from time to time.

After hearing about this place for ages, I finally went for the first time about a week ago. True to what I’ve been told, the fred perry selection is huge. Lots of polos, sweaters, jackets, and bags. And the other clothes are all pretty smart wardrobe choices as well.
Too bad I don’t have the $$$ to buy anything…

Shopping on a beautiful Saturday, enjoying Hayes St.
I’m a bag whore and found the selection of Jack Spade bags delicious. …of course it was too good to be true! I spotted a plaid bag from last season being sold at full price, $ 375. I have seen the same bag on sale for almost two months now on the Jack Spade web site, Zappos, Gilt, for under $ 200. I pointed this out to a sales associate (maybe it was the owner?), and he became very defensive. He actually told me that I should buy the bag online, and if he could convince a tourist to pay full price for it, he would do that and they can price however they want.
Yes, that is true. You can sell your goods however you’d like. I’m telling you, as someone who works and shops in your neighborhood that that is ridiculous and I don’t have to shop in your store. I also don’t think it is good business to admit you are going to gouge me. That makes me not want to buy ANYTHING from you.
Get some class, Nomads! Rude and no customer service.

Love this place. Though I must refrain lest I overspend. Great selection of brands that balance quality and price. The selection of Nixon watches is great. Staff is friendly and always willing to chit chat casually and help.
Jeans selection is great. Lots of nice denim with some interesting lesser known labels. Selection of Jack Spade bags is pretty wide too (SF, you can finally stop wearing that corporate backpack). Selection of ties is really nice. Love the skinny wool ones under the counter.
Only gripe would that be it’s all a little on the casual side. (Though that’s probably fine for most offices) I wish they would stock a few more slacks/​trousers and a few dress shirts.

I love this clothing boutique! I’ve purchased a variety of stuff here, and they have a really good selection. The staff is also very friendly and eager to help out. I was debating between two bags, and the girl on duty talked me through the pros and cons. I went with the tartan Fred Perry one, which is a total hit amongst my friends and even strangers. I now have to force myself not to go in all the time because I would spend way too much $$$.
The only downside is that everything is pretty pricey, but when they have sales, you gotta take advantage of it. 50% off? YES PLEASE!

A very nice selection of Fred Perry, Munsingwear and other hipster lines. Friendly staff assists when needed, but don’t hover over you while shopping, something I appreciate.
The start of the sale days are the best of course, so sign up for the email newsletter. Bargain rack at the back of the store often has some hidden finds, I was able to pick up a cool, but simple cobranded Fred Perry/​Raf Simons jacket … actually two, at 40% off.
Cool accessories, including bags, glasses and skullies make this a destination shop in Hayes Valley. Don’t be confused when trying to locate this shop on the best block in Hayes Valley, the shop sign says «You Get Results With», although the store name is indeed «Nomads».

I think this place does a great job of laying out items in an inspiring way. Browsing through here I got a lot of ideas which I may shop around. This place will at least get my business for odds and ends as I work towards a better wardrobe. I also got a good feeling from the staff which were walking around and in large numbers for such a small store.
Strolling through the store you will see bins of beanies, bags, coats, scarfs, and lots of other items. I did not see a lot of pre-​made outfits which is fine because the store seems to have a way of picking items that seem to fit together.
In short, I will be in here frequently and every once and a while might buy something too.

Damn this store.
Damn this store for being awesome and making me really want a boyfriend so I can take him here and convince him to buy really awesome jeans, rad sweaters and jackets that scream, «Damn you’z fine, now get your ass over here, pin me to the bed and make me scream like a woman!»
Damn this store indeed!
Seriously girls, if you have a man and let’s say your man didn’t get the memo that ill-​fitting jeans, super baggy shirts or khaki pants are considered unacceptable, take him here. Sure, you’re going to drop a little cash and a cool couble of dimes, but these are the outfits that keep giving!
After a shopping outing here, you will want to jump him, he will feel more confident, he will strut, you will strut, do you see where I’m going with this. San Francisco will be a better place because he shopped here.
Hey, maybe Gavin will give you a community award for bettering the stylistic environment! ;)

Cool (but pricey) men’s clothing store in Hayes. They manage to fit all the great stuff of Villans (Haight) into a store ¹⁄₁₀ the size. Staff was friendly and the crowds were light, even on a Saturday. My only complaint? The racks were stuffed too tight. Come on guys, this isn’t TJ Maxx!

Cool.
