Marine Layer

Got a pair of pants, long sleeve shirt and shirt for the hubby last night. These three garments are so insanely soft it blows my mind. The pants, I’m wearing right now, are so comfortable and soft I feel like I’m in heaven. Just the dreamiest fabric.
I like that you’re sizing is starting to expand beyond super small to more regular. Please continue on this trend. On the same note, I have always found you women’s button downs to run super small in the arms, shoulders and bust. Maybe consider an XL?
Love your store and thanks for keeping dog treats stocked.

Softest clothes, excellent customer service, such a cute logo — great for gifts!

As comfy as clothes get! Seriously. I challenge you to go in there and NOT spend your first five minutes just feeling the shirts. I couldn’t do it. I sent the rest of my time trying to part ways with different items so that I spend a stomachable amount. It was harder than I anticipated. Not only are the clothes insanely comfortable, but they are also locally made in San Francisco, which makes you feel good about the purchase as well. They primarily stock your basics for men and women (t shirts, button ups, Henley’s, hoodies) but also have some other miscellaneous finds (pajamas, dresses, rain jackets). Their staple is the hoodie for men and women. They have a website with free returns, so you can pick up things where ever you may be located. I’ve found that the clothes run slightly smaller than their size, but that may just be my experience. If you’re on the edge, I’d say yo start a size up. If you want some back story as well, you can Google an article about the founder, who quit his banking job to create a better t shirt (and he definitely succeeded!)

Went in with the hubs a couple of days ago, and never wanted to leave! The fabrics are so deliciously soft and yummy. I am addicted to scarves, I have really sensitive skin, so I found heaven when I touched Marin Layer’s scarves. I bought one, and the hubs bought a shirt. We were so impressed with the fabrics that we researched the company. These people care about their clothes, designs, and manufacturing process, and you can’t get better than locally made. The next day I went in and bought 2 more scarves. I seriously want to wrap myself in these scarves and never surface. It’s nuts.
The staff seem really down to earth, too. The manager was very patient with me as I asked her several questions, many of which didn’t have to do with the clothes but with yoga. Anyway, the color choices are awesome, they have excellent designs and quality fabrics. Plus, they’re locally made, locally owned… it really doesn’t get better than this place!

Gotta love this store. And gotta love the Marine Layer clothing even more. The staff are always well-​informed about their products. They definitely know what’s up.
I check this store out every so while. Downside is the price. It is decently priced for how high quality the clothes are, though. With the dollar signs up, and my wallet nearly empty, tough luck.
Confession: Half the time I make my way to Marine Layer Retail Store, it’s to feel up the clothes. Oh-​so soft.
5 star worthy? Yeah, all stars granted.

Again… thank you to the sis for sharing this oh so goodness of tshirts and sweaters!
They’re pricey… oh yes they are… but they’re definitely well worth it! They’re comfy… pre-​shrunk… and they fit perfect for me… and the sis… and the nephew and even the brother in law!
I wear these shirts proud when I’m in LA… SF pride all the way baby! ;)

I just wanted to add to my previous review. i purchased a few shirts for my husband as well as my brother AND brother in law (bro-​in-​law is hard to shop for). I only went in to browse and ended up walking out with 4 shirts. 3 long sleeve and one short sleeve. One happened to be on sale which was a bonus PLUS they were having a great buy 3 for 90 $ deal. I totally scored. Everyone loved their shirts and couldn’t stop commented on how soft they were. It felt good knowing i gave them a good quality and locally made shirt. Now the only problem is, everyone wants clothes from there ;)
added bonus: they don’t charge for bags since they are cloth and re-​usable :)

Marina Layer has the softest shirts. The product is superb. Friendly service. Stay out of Macy’s and SHOP LOCAL.

Walking along Chestnut the other day, my eye was caught by a dress in a store window. Long, cotton-​ey, simple, (nightgown-​esk, if you will), I couldn’t get it out of my mind. So I figured I would apply my usual retail rule: if I’m still thinking about it in 24 hours, I’ll go back.
Twenty-​three and a half hours later, I waltzed on in, excited to try on this beautiful, pajama-​textured outfit. The saleswoman was wonderful. Noticing my size wasn’t on the rack, she quickly grabbed it from the back. Available without seeming obtrusive, she was knowledgeable about the merchandise and answered all my questions easily.
In and out within ten minutes — mission accomplished!

Big Thanks to the Marine Layers team for creating new local fashion & quality clothing brand ! Love your t-​shirts !

I sadly no longer live in SF but have been wearing and supporting these guys since I first heard of them a few years ago. Best stuff around and happy to spend a little more to know the quality is top notch, it’s made here and is a perfect company. I can’t say enough good things.
PS — the lined hoodie, again while pricey, I promise you will never want to take it off. Ever.

Marine Layer, in my humble opinion, carries the softest and best T-​shirts for men in SF. Girls, need to give the man in your life a present? Hit their retail store in the Marina and you and your man won’t be disappointed. Their customer service is amazing and the guys who own it are as sweet as pie. Huge fan.

Clean shop, nice staff, über soft tees.

Spendy but so worth it!
Soft, dreamy hoodies and tank tops.
Paperless transactions are super nifty!
PS That’s how they get you on their email list. ;)

Best polo I’ve ever bought is from Marine Layer.

Marine Layer is very good. I almost want to give it five stars because the people working there are very nice and yet not pushy. But, the threads can be a bit pricey at times. I got a zip that I love which has a little more wear on it than I’d like considering how long I’ve had it. That said, it’s still a fantastic place.

Most comfortable Ts ever. I buy them in boat loads for my husband. He lives in ‘em.

Plain tee shirts. Nobody does them better. Their Pima cotton and modal blend is baby bottom soft and the people are great too.
I like clean and simple tees and this is the place to get them. They are all made stateside and their fit is spot on too.
Get me those heather gray introductory v’s!

The perfect t-​shirt is right up there with a guy who knows the difference between inverse and converse and can fix shit: extremely rare, but worth the wait. Marine Layer gets my current vote, though. Unlike the dudes on here who (somewhat charmingly) balk at paying $ 30 for a t-​shirt, I’ve sacrificed many a paycheck to my pursuit of luxury knitwear. C+C, James Perse, Splendid, blahblahblah — you name it, I’ve overpaid for it (I like to think I’m not alone here.) So far (I just bought em yesterday), Marine Layer’s short sleeve v-​neck and long sleeve crew seem to compete with the best of the best.
Also, and this is Very Important — I don’t know them, but the two dudes who run this place don’t seem like douches. That is to say, support your local business owners!

These guys have done an awesome job creating their first retail space. While I am sad to see the loft go, this spot is money, and the release of their new shirts timed well with the finish of the store.
It is great to see their selection of clothing increase. They just introduced their woman’s line alongside many new options for doods. Per usual, the shirts are super comfy and end up more often than not what I wear.
