History

Established in 1981.

Founder Michael Sabino has been a fixture in San Francisco ever since BUTTON DOWN’s doors first opened across from the Balboa Café in Cow Hollow. A classic elegance is reflected in some of the most beautiful clothing and accessories found on the West Coast. BUTTON DOWN specializes in higher end clothing from Italy, other Euro countries, and the US. In June of 2020, after 40 successful years, Michael decided the time was right to step away from BUTTON DOWN and transferred ownership to husband duo Ken Griffin and Dan Keenan, long time friends of Michael. Ken and Dan's plan going forward is simply to modernize the company. BUTTON DOWN now has an online store, buttondownsf.com; digital inventory and checkout system; enhanced in-store experience; and now even an in-house barbershop called JAMES. @ BUTTON DOWN.
