Killing time before the Wednesday night market in downtown Santa Rosa, I happened upon a gem of a find for men in Sonoma County. Masculine and chic, Shank boutique brings a whole lot of style without the drive to San Francisco or Marin. Shank offers a great selection of “hip” urban footwear, logo-free comfy zip hoodies, and the softest T-shirts I have EVER felt made by Kinetic Energy. Brand lines include Original Penguin, Seven Jeans, Ben Sherman, Ed Hardy, and of course the shirt I could not leave with out Palmer Cash (see blue mullet man above).
Men looking for a quick couture “style” infusion into their wardrobe have found their home. Staff is helpful and friendly at this locally-owned shop and they do great men’s gift wrap for that last minute present. Shank is operated by the owners of Punch women’s boutique (right around the corner) on Fourth Street, which makes dashing in for a quick peek for either sex an easy one. If your out and about, hit this up….you won’t be disappointed!
