Boots of course.

Diesel Boots? When I see Diesel I'm usually laughing at the over the top graphic tee's and horrible sneakers but these boots are sweet.

Royal Enfield Classic 500 Motorcycle

Who said that a bike had to look futuristic to look cool? The Royal Enfield Classic 500 Motorcycle ($TBA) defies this convention while sporting a definite retro look. Powered by a single-cylinder 500cc unit-construction engine with an integrated assembly for the five-speed gearbox and clutch, the Classic 500 features electronic fuel injection to keep the perfect air/fuel balance, a top speed of over 80 mph, a spring-saddled split seat, an oval toolbox, and WWII-era styling in a body completely cast and formed in crafted metal.

Boots we love by JRO at Alley Collection

2011-05-23T12:33:00.000-07:00

Everyone at Alley knows I love boots. I live in them. San Francisco weather calls for them. You can keep your little top-siders and hipster vans. I'll be wearing my boots for years to come. My new favorite are from Ksubi and you can find them at http://www.ssense.com/.

Be on the lookout for all things Alley. Boots are definitely an Alley staple and we will be bringing you more in the weeks to come.

Real Men Campaign- Alley Collection

2011-04-26T12:22:00.000-07:00

We are running a new campaign to nominate 'real men' to be our models. As posted here, you can see our most recent 'real man' model Roberto Lopez who is a local bay area contractor and owner of RL Custom Building. He will be the face of Alley Collection for Spring/Summer 2011 and all of the products he is wearing will be live in a week on www.alleycollection.com. Stay posted!

Now we want you! We are looking for athletically built handsome real men (non-models) to be the face of Alley for Spring/Summer 2012! Here's how to nominate a 'real man', whether it's you, a husband, boyfriend, brother, friend or dad- just email a photo of him, include his chest & pant size, weight, height, occupation and contact information to info@alleycollection.com. Also write a brief description about why he should be the face of our next campaign.

Submit all information by midnight on June 11, 2011. We will announce the winner by June 30, 2011 on our blog and all social networking sites. We will not only offer the winner the status of being the face of Alley for our next collection, but we will also give the winner $300 to use towards Alley Collection clothing. Please nominate local men only or ones that are willing to pay for their own travel to San Francisco, CA.

We look forward to hearing from you and seeing your real men!

Bay Area Fashion Label Makes Scottsdale Debut

Bay Area Fashion Label Makes Scottsdale Debut

Calling all Valley dudes. Just because you have an athletic build, doesn’t mean you have to throw on a tattoo-inspired, jewel-encrusted shrunken T-shirt and matching Ed Hardy jeans with bedazzled back pockets. Introducing Alley Collection, a Bay Area menswear line specializing in dressing bigger builds with a little less glitz and a little more, dare we say, taste. Catch a preview of the line’s Spring/Summer 2010 collection at a free event this Thursday, June 24, at the W Scottsdale.

Alley Collection’s ‘San Francisco’ line, which debuted in 2009, is designed for guys who want to go from the office to the bar, without sacrificing style in between. Look for a series of tailored jackets, shirts and shorts, all designed with a linebacker’s proportions in mind.

The event begins at 9 pm with a fashion show later in the night.

Alley featured in The Denim Guy & Moxsie's blogs

2010-05-06T16:16:00.000-07:00

See Alley Collection featured in two hot blogs on May 6, 2010! www.thedenimguy.com and Moxsie's blog http://networkedblogs.com/3CtWF

The world can't seem to get enough of Alley Collection's rise to prominence: the love story that dates back to grade school, the fact that Alley clothing addresses a challenge met by muscular men who can't find clothes that fit, the namesake of the brand - head couple's rottweiler (Alley).

The Denim Guy just picked up on the scoop, and they love Alley for the same reasons we do:

Combining John’s background as a Bay Area Firefighter with Laura’s upbringing around the family farm, a rough element of canvas and duck were transformed into stylish outerwear while soft twill was made into edgy fitted dress shirts. Alley Collection has filled a major gap by providing urban workwear tailored specifically for the athletic male.

Men around the world are thankful for Alley's non-boring, non-stuffy clothing. The Alley male is an approachable male, and it's about time someone did something good for the nice guy.
