JAKE TO OPEN SAN FRANCISCO FLAGSHIP IN MARCH

by Brian Lipton

JAKESan Francisco-based men’s and women’s fashion brand Jake will open its flagship San Francisco shop at 619 Sansome Street on March 3. Jake currently operates out of a showroom on Market Street.

The company is head by creative director Jake Wall, who was a cast member of Season 14 of the popular reality show Project Runway.  The street-style oriented line is known for immaculate fits and an obsession with detail.

The new shop, which will be just under 3,000 square feet, will boast both a wine bar and arcade games in an effort to make customers gain the true experience of the Jake lifestyle.

After studying at UC Berkeley, Wall earned a master’s degree at DePaul University and an MBA in international business and marketing at Pepperdine University. He co-founded custom suiting company brand The Artful Gentleman with Nathan Johnson in 2012, and that company eventually evolved into Jake.
