Fez
Mill Valley
While Fez of course specializes in top notch men’s fashion, they also pride themselves on their wide selection of gender neutral apparel. They partner with a large number of individual designers, frequently collaborating with those from often underrepresented backgrounds and designers that avoid the unfortunately all-too-common unethical manufacturers that crop up in mainstream fashion. Some of the brands carried include; Faherty, Hartford, XELKOM, GLOR, Velvet, Leret Leret, Injiri, Dr. Collectors, Lone and Hawk Hats. Hours are Monday through Sunday 11 a.m. – 5 p.m.
