Twenty Four Karats

Genuine local artists and very reasonable prices (nice quality small-​run printed T-​shirt for $ 25). Can San Leandro ever be cool? I don’t know, but these guys are trying. Would be nice if they carried more styles and sizes, but what they’ve got is worth seeing.

Great opportunity to support a local artist and a local business. They say these days the only way to keep your dollars local is to buy cheap domestic beer, go to garage sales, baseball games, prostitutes (Legal disclaimer: I do not endorse this type of activity… I’m sure the Unilocal lawyers somewhere are proud of me) and of course artists.
As you walk in the store it is beautifully decorated with custom shirts. Nice presentation. There is an old ice cream van around the corner that helps advertise this spot. Ask the friendly guys there to help you and they will do their best. A nice addition to the Manor.

I am a frequent buyer of custom shirts and apparel and I have to say that TFK is the spot for awesome custom clothing, there T shirt designs are absolutely genius and original, my props goes out to the designer this place is a all around eye catching experience just walking into there showroom, i am very pleased with the customer service TFK is a original store never seen anything like it and hope to see this place for a very long time.

Awesome people,
Nice to work with and fare rates.
Thanks Mike Alvarez

Place is dope there shirts are one of a kind. Real deal Bay Area gear. If you like authentic gear that really stands out than take a trip to the TFK store.

TFK is in the heart of the Manor area in San Leandro and it is a very nice shop for boutiques. It gives you the feel of vision through an artist’s eyes. Being extremely busy all the time, I did not have the time to shop around and I decided to print 500 shirts from TFK for my business because its closer to my home and I also like to support local businesses. I literally did all this at the last minute and gave them a really short turn-​around time. They managed to get everything ready before the required delivery date.
Mike is the owner and his creativity is superb. He gave me many extra ideas without charging me an «art fee». Alex, the other guy that works there, is extremely nice, friendly and helpful. He even let me borrow their tools to fold all my shirts. Any other big company will try to promote and sell you a bunch of bullshlt lol. With a big order you are bound to have defects here and there, and at no hesitation they took back the defected shirts and fixed them instantly and returned them to me all on the same day. Their pricing, to me is a little high, but you get what you pay for as they have high quality work with really good customer service.
I will recommend anyone that is looking to have small shirts printed or just any apparel printed to come to TFK. They even do stickers also! It’s always good to support local artists rather than go to a big company that doesn’t give two effs about you.

TFK is definitely a gem hidden in San Leandro. When you walk in the store it’ll make you think twice about what town your in… But I like it because it shows you that great artists and minds are not just in the major cities in the Bay Area like SF Oakland and Berkley, but in ALL of our smaller cities too. I like the story behind why this shop was opened here, and to make it short, was to make San Leandro proud and make a mark on the map. The guy who owns it is street and internet popular currently, and has been Bay Area popular since the late 90s. The store is just another representation of himself, and his close knit family that runs the establishment. They sell custom clothing at the shop, and the longer you are a customer you learn the more that the shop is capable of doing. They create designs for your business which can transfer over and be used to get graphics on your vehicle or business cards, and they also can custom print on articles of clothing, or they stock t-​shirts if you want to walk away with something that day. If you dig deeper, you find out you can hire (through them) DJs to host events, and on every 24^th can actually listen to them play music live at their clothing release parties. Then the biggie, they also specialize in aerosol paintings. If you have a building that has been vandalized, the art you can hire them to do will not only be a one of a kind design chosen by you, but amazing art work that will attract attention from possible customers that other vandals won’t touch out of respect. TFK is a staple in the community and doesn’t have a specific type of person they vend to, but is a store for everyone to at least go see because they accept anyone through there doors, even if it’s just to see the art work on the walls. Support TFK, support your local small business.

TFK made the Porky’s Pizza Palace 50^th Anniversary shirts and they were a hit. Great design, great quality. Fast turn around. They are a great small business here to serve the Manor.

I stopped in to see what the buzz was about and found a gem of a clothing shop in my own hometown neighborhood! This is a «hip-​hop» style shop, but not your run-​of-​the-​mill trendy hip-​hop store like you’d find on Telegraph or something. Everything in this shop is original from the artwork on the walls to the clothing on the hangers. I bought a couple of items and I’m very happy with them; very unique pieces. I gave a «Bayism» hoodie as a gift to someone and they loved it. Also, I have not found anyone else with a t-​shirt with Marilyn Monroe in a Raiders helmet… it’s one of my favorite shirts!
I talked to a couple of the employees and learned they pretty much only sell exclusive designs from their own artists, or those they know very well. In other words, they’re not interested in outsourcing their designs to make a quick buck, and I can respect that!
KEEP REPPIN’!! :)

Love this place, it’s a small business located in The Manor that sells shirts, hoodies and sweatshirts with their brand (TFK) and couple other local brands. They have monthly releases with monthly release parties. They do custom made shirts too. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

So, I am officially going to my first Raiders game, and of course, me being the the little fashionista that I am, It’s a must that I step out in something cute. Long story short, I came across the TFK online store and found the «Monroe Raider» shirt. I knew I had to have it, and I bought it… immediately; no thinking twice.
Other than the shirt being cute and exactly what I was looking for, it felt good to support a local business, and not putting my money in to the pockets of a «mass production» type of company somewhere in No Mans Land.
Another thing, I received great customer service when I called just to make sure that my shirt was on its way. The person I spoke to was very nice and thanked me for my business, and that spoke volumes to me.
Anywho, my shirt arrived today (about 3 days), and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!! Honestly, I am not a huge fan of ordering things online because I am not sure how it will fit me, but this time, I wasn’t disappointed. It fits perfectly, and the quality of the shirt exceeded my expectations; definitely not cheap and flimsy.
Thank you TFK for my shirt, and you have new loyal customer, see you guys soon!

Went here to have a couple of shirts made for a run that we were doing. When I first talked to someone he was very nice and said we could have the shirts when we needed them in 3 weeks. There were alot of issues on their end about following through with this order. For a couple of weeks I had to go there several times to find out the status of our shirts. The design was very simple but not for them. Everytime I went in they had excuse after excuse for why the shirts were not ready. I talked to the owner Mike, he promised that we would have our shirts for our run. Our run came and went and no shirts. Mike even shook my hand saying he promises they will be done. After our race we went in to at least get our deposit back which we got. Once again Mike said he would make our shirts just so we have them. He said they would be ready over a week ago and he would call me. To this date he has never called and still no shirts. So apparently shaking hands with a woman means nothing to this business. Oh, I even told them that they could put their logo on our shirts for advertising. I do alot of walks with bigger teams thru out the year but I will never never go to this shop again. I also have alot of friends needing walk shirts done for their teams and believe me I am going to make sure they never go here. I shop at local business’s as much as possible good thing their is another t-​shirt shop on Washington Avenue that will do good work and deliver on time.

Well I always like to support a local small business. Decided to go here to have a shirt made for a cancer walk. Well they wanted $ 50 to make it, took down my info for someone to call me about it. Never got a call and went to Michaels and spent $ 23 and did it myself. Kinda bummed because I would’ve liked to give my business to the Manor small businesses.

TFK clothing is a Hip Hop store dedicated to so-​called urban culture. TFK is actually inspired by graff art and bombing culture. From the style of clothes to the paintings on the wall represent the art of bombing culture. I have been here on two occasions.
My first time here, I came to check out the spot. They carry a limited amount of brands. The only main designer brand I saw was Diamond Supply Co. Otherwise, all the other brands are from smaller local brands and their own brand of clothing. Within the glass case at the counter, there’s local artists music, small accessories, and spray cans. Real hip-​hoppers and graff artists can truly appreciate this store.
My second occasion here, TFK was hosting an emcee battle event. I happened to perform and they a hosted good event. Good performances, nice set-​up, and relaxed atmosphere.
Support their brand if you like real hip-​hop culture or appreciate graffiti.
