Denim Spot

I love finding a store that actually believes in customer service. Pete is like your personal stylist… he gets you, he figures out your style and price point, and he delivers! Well, not actually delivers to your home, but you get what I mean…
I first heard of Denim Spot from my friend Paul J., who raved about Pete and his selection of clothes for men. He shopped there all the time (still does), even from his posts in Afghanistan! He pointed me to their facebook page where Pete posts pics of the latest clothes he has brought in; clothes for women showed up with the same frequency as men, and over time, I started getting a little addicted to his updates. The great thing is, you can indicate online the items you are interested in, and Pete will send you an invoice you can pay online, then stop by the store to pick up at your leisure. And yes, you should follow this process, because if a style is really popular, it will sell out. He only brings in a limited quantity, so once it sells out, that’s it.
I bought a hooded shawl off a facebook post about a month ago, and finally made my way over to the store to pick it up. The store was closed when we got there, but after a quick facebook message exchange, Pete stopped by to open the place up for us. We looked around and Nick tried on some jackets and sweaters. He was thrilled with the European selection (his current favorite line is scotch and soda) and ended up leaving with a very cool blazer and a cable sweater.
Pete, I think you found a new customer ;)

THIS is my favorite place to shop for clothes for me. I find pieces that I don’t see anywhere else, and I LOVE them. I have pieces that are easily five years old, but they’re such excellent quality, I still wear them. The men’s items make great gifts for my husband, too. Wonderful customer service, too!

I like the selection of unique pieces you find at Denim Spot. Pete, the owner, delivers great customer service, and I appreciate that he supports local artists and designers!

You can’t beat the personal service here. Forget the mall. Go to TDS and support local artists, designers and businesses.

Denim Spot is a great store in mid town. You can get something here and go directly to a club to go dancing or whatever. Seriously cool clothes. I like the convenience of being able to take a look on the owners ipad and see the way the clothes look on different models. There are clothes for men and women here, which is cool. Stylish without being over the top crazy asking yourself, now where would I wear that? The owner is very helpful and will make suggestions and tell you about the different lines and make some suggestions. the pricing is reasonable but the quality is high. Its a really fun place to update your wardrobe. My friend and I did some unexpected shopping here last Sunday and came away with some cute new items. I would definitely shop here again. Its such a different feeling than going to the chain stores. the owners of the boutiques we visited in midtown last Sunday really give you the attention that is missing from chains.

First things first, this place is a great place to buy nice clothes. The selection is awesome, and the quality is fantastic. That said, I shop here because of Pete. He’s the kind of guy who always makes you feel like you are the only customer in the store. He gives personalized advice on fashion, and will tell you point blank if something doesn’t look right.
When I needed suits (something that he doesn’t sell… yet) he recommended that I shop with a particular person at a particular store… not just the store… he knew which individual to send me to! That’s service.
Even when i lived in the bay area, I still made a point to shop with him. He’s just that good.
Highly recommended. His clothing isn’t always cheep… if you want cheep, go to target. But if you want to look great, while shopping with someone who will care about you and your appearance, then go see Pete. He will take care of you.

I’m not that into their women’s clothing – I usual only find 1 or 2 items that don’t seem so bad. Also, they say their clothing is targeted for «curvy» women, but it doesn’t show through there clothing selection. However, they do host some fun events and have a DJ there every 2^nd Saturday! #scavengesac

Great location and selection of clothes. I was tempted to buy all of their maxi skirts, but my wallet said — watch it! I will be back soon! Pete (the owner) was super nice. This Saturday, November 30^th, there’s a trunk show with Richard Hallmarq from Project Runway between 11am — 6pm for Small Business Saturday. Be there or be square! :P

Pete knows his business, and he was beyond nice without trying to be pushy when I dropped in here the other day. Unfortunately, he was out of my size in the shirt that I liked, but was willing to order it for me. It was a bit out of my price range that I wanted to spend for a shirt, but I was very tempted to splurge. When I do splurge, I will come and see Pete and especially look at the mannequin since he puts my medium size on them a lot.

This shop has a lot of nice clothes… great place to go if you want designer jeans and don’t mind expensive clothing. They also have a lot of other beautiful pieces and there have been many maxi dresses I have wanted in this store. Not really the shop for me but I staff is very helpful and pleasant. The manager (maybe owner?) seems like he runs a well organized shop.
I also like that they participate in lots of Midtown events like Second Saturday etc. Worth a look if you are in the need for higher end jeans.

They are so friendly there. Had a long conversation., surprised they also sell art and jewelry there. #scavengesac

Great location with a good selection of trending looks. I especially appreciated the local artwork and helpful staff. #scavengesac

Great stuff for men and women. Not just denim items. They don’t have any maternity pants but the employee was so helpful and even looked up old navy to see if they carried maternity pants so I wouldn’t have to spend so much being that I am late in the third trimester.

I walked in here not knowing what to expect. I can never find jeans that fit right!
I left with not one, not two, but three pairs of jeans that fit me like a glove! Pete is awesome! Love the FB «look of the day!» — it gives me a preview of the must-​haves on the racks!

Denim Spot is my spot for cool gear! They have great clothes for men. Pete (the owner) always takes great care of me and suggests what would be great for me from his latest selections. He does not disappoint and knows my style. His customer service skills are on a different level! I love this store because it’s exclusive. If you don’t buy when you see it… the item is gone and that item is not coming back. (I am still trying to get a jacket from last fall… I want that jacket bad) :) The selection is not large but it is exclusive.
Ladies! Denim spot has you covered with an exclusive selection of beautiful clothes… this is that boutique you brag about!
Pete actually cares how the clothes look and fit on you. His recommendations are very accurate! He has an eye for fashion and accessories. You don’t find stores like this anymore. I will keep coming back again and again!

Denim Spot, why do you haunt me with irresistible maxi dresses? Stop it!
I don’t know what it is… I’ll forget about Denim Sport for months at a time, then I’ll randomly walk past the store one day, stop dead in my tracks because there is a maxi dress on display in the window that is freaking heart-​stopping, then I have to bolt inside and make it mine. This has happened on 3 seperate occassions, each time a year or more apart. Weird! (Incredibly welcome in terms of my wardrobe, but still weird!)
The 2 Denim Spot maxi dresses I already own get so many compliments, and I knew I had to possess the daring navy blue/​white striped backless dress with the plunging v-​neck. Turns out I had good timing because I stripped the mannequin of the last piece of a very limited run. The owner was super friendly and told me about the brand of the dress, showed me all the ways to wear the convertible dress, and even took me on Denim Spot’s Facebook page to show me pictures of the dress and other cute clothing coming soon to the shop. What could make this transaction any better? Oh yeah, the price! At a nicer boutique it’s not uncommon to pay at least $ 100-​$ 150 for a full-​length dress… I walked out paying about $ 80. BAM!

I can’t say enough good things about this little boutique. It’s not a fluke that so many reviews are glowing. There’s great customer service, thanks to owner Pete! The clothes reflect his personal taste, and as other reviewer’s note, he has a good eye for fashion. He’ll tell you if something looks good and fits well, and will make recommendations that are usually spot on!
Of course there’s not the selection of a large department store like Nordstrom, but whenever I stop by, I find at least a couple of cool things. They regularly rotate clothes and stay current with new styles. They have men’s and women’s stuff, conveniently sorted by splitting the store down the middle.
On my last trip, I found a nice sport coat marked half-​off, and my fiancé picked up some cashmere leggings bceause she liked the way they made her butt look. Who can argue with that? (not me, that’s for sure!)
Come stroll through when you’re in the neighborhood (in the same strip as Peet’s, Azul, LowBrau, and Comedy Spot) and you’ll be glad you did!

I originally wrote a review for Denim Spot that I always thought was underrated. It took me a while to get around, but here’s the long awaited update:
Stop in and say hello to Pete, the man behind the counter and owner of Denim Spot. He’s a guy that knows what he’s talking about and consistently backs up his product to the utmost extent. You hardly see guys like him anymore. But we need more of it.
If you don’t know anything about denim, Pete will help you out. If you have some oddly shaped butt and you’ve given up on finding a sexy fitting pair of jeans, Pete will help you out. And if you already know everything about denim (*ahem* who, me? noooo), Pete will school you on a thing or two.
I still have a tough time buying these jeans because I’m so sucked into the obscure-​high-​end-​Japanese-​denim-​underground-​subculture (don’t hate me for being a snob) but folks will find that this stylish store will meet most shopping needs– or as far as your wallet allows. I came in here last weekend and their selection has definitely grown since my last visit! I’m sooo stopping in for my next annual spring shopping spree!

2 words: LONG JEANS
As a genetic freak, it is impossible for me to find pants that fit, especially jeans. I always have to settle for ugly jeans that make me look like I’m preparing for a flood. Even «tall» sizes aren’t long enough for me.
Denim Spot carries 36 and 37″ inseams!!! Hallelujah!!! Now, I seem to be a minority here, as most people said the prices are «resonable.» I guess if you’re the type to shop at Nordstrom or {insert snooty high-​end store here}, they might be resonable. But I’m cheap, and the idea of buying ANY article of clothing in the triple digits is just silly to me. So I found the prices too high. BUT I’ve resigned myself to the fact that if I want jeans that fit, I’ll have to shell out the bucks. He had a few good deals on tops (great tops at a price even I thought was great), but most of the clothing was out of my price range. However, Pete was awesome and totally understood where I was coming from, and gave us awesome service, even understanding that I was in sticker shock! He pulled several pairs of jeans for me to try on, and was very honest about what looked good and what wasn’t as good. He and my husband had to tag-​team to convince me that even *I* looked great in designer jeans (I think my husband was just glad that I wasn’t wearing baggy pants and a t-​shirt). And I must admit, when I put on my jeans from DS, I feel great. :)

Pete does a really good job updating the Denim spot specials and new merchandise on the facebook page so I always feel like I know what’s going on in the store even though I live 30 minutes away.
Really excellent customer service and personal attention. I scored some really comfy soft, yet stylish Level 99 cargo pants that I am wearing as I am typing this right now.
Also the top I happen to be wearing today is alwo from Denim Spot, it’s a soft green cowlneck that I bought RIGHT before the 2^nd Saturday special deal. It’s sexy and comfortable.
Pete has a good eye for style and size. I had fun shopping here and look forward to my next visit.
