Upper Playground

The Haight & Hayes Valley


Blend into the SF scenery with a locally designed 'Golden State of Mind' hoodie, tectonic-plate map tee, Bay Bridge smartphone case, and SF snap-back caps in classic canvas, badass leather and smart-ass tweed. Men's gear dominates, but there are women's tees on side racks, kids' tees in the back room and slick Jeremy Fish graffiti art in UP's next-door Fifty24SF Gallery.
