Raggedy Threads

I discovered this store at its West Coast location in Little Tokyo. Now that I live nearby the Williamsburg store, it’s my go-to neighborhood spot. They stock American heritage brands like Wrangler, Filson, and Carhartt. Inviting and cozy—they're usually burning incense—it’s fittingly outfitted with aged wood, vintage signage, and a mounted buffalo. They host parties and barbecues in their backyard, where customers can get to know the owners and staff. They’re all about building a community. Although they always post an announcement on their Instagram when they are holding an event, it’s a good idea to ask the staff for a heads-up, too.
