These Sacramento clothiers can help men make a great impression the first time and every time.
DeRow & Sharma

Sacramento, CA 95814

DeRow & Sharma has been a downtown Sacramento fixture for 45 years, but the wide selection of socks, accessories and attire for men is by no means stuck in the 1970s. The shop carries classic, elegant business wear and up-to-date styles, and the prices are very affordable. Men's dress socks are available from Origins, Giorgio Brutini, Knocker and GB, and come in a range of colors, textures and designs from subtle to trendy. D & S carries an extensive selection of sizes in all merchandise, and even has "king size" dress socks from Brutini for men wearing shoe sizes 13 to 17.

Quality has an unassuming storefront, but once inside, there is a fun selection of on-trend clothing and accessories for both men and women. One unique feature is that the shop has a full espresso bar, serving local Mast Coffee. The selection of men's socks come from companies like Iron & Resin, Altamont and California-based Richer Poorer. Coolmax crew socks from the latter feature hip and stylish colors and designs, but most would be appropriate for use as dress socks. Family owned and operated, the prices at Quality are reasonable and the people are warm and welcoming. The proprietors are supportive of local charities and animal shelters; customers are welcome to bring their dogs and might be greeted by a few of the family's friendly shop dogs.

Best of all, each store gets in more than 4,000 new items every day, so if you do not find what you want the first time, just stop by again. Excellent items can be had for a few dollars or less, so feel free to splurge. Thrift Town is also a responsible community partner — all merchandise has been purchased from local nonprofits, with the proceeds helping to fund needed services to Sacramento area residents.
