Oaklandish

"Great selection. Very helpful staff"

"Small retail shop. Great customer service."

"Great customer service, clothes quality is wanting. Shirts are thin and shrink a ton. Sweatshirts have loose threads where logos are sewn on, making the logo fray off. And that's the replacement they sent out."

"Lady behind the counter wouldn’t wait on me. Extremely disrespectful with so much attitude on 11/16 like seriously I’m sorry I’m undecided but no need to rush me to either buy or get out. I’m a community member trying to give back because I believe in the Oaklandish mission totally unnecessary to be treated poorly when I walked in with a smile and high spirits."

"This business is top shelf for Tee-shirts, Hoodies and more.. How many places can boast that their Tee-shirts are designed and made in Oakland? How many things come from across the sea? For me, it is refreshing to see the clean crisp designs at Oaklandish. Yes, the prices are more than Ross Dress for Less or Target, but when you buy at Oaklandish there is a percentage of the profit that gets donated back to the community. And since the designs are local, the artist/craftsmen get money instead of who knows who? There weren't very many people in the store when I was there the other day (the beginning of May, 2021), and social distancing and limited number of people in the store at one time was still happening. There was a very sweet young woman who was answering all of my questions about the art on the Tees, etc. Some of the artists that design the Tee-shirts are well-known in the local art community. This store is for people who want to wear their Oakland pride on local designed shirts. There are bold color tee shirts displayed on the wall like individual works of art—so you can actually see them without touching them. There are emblems for your car or house windows; solid color hats with simple emblems; glasses and mugs from Oakland; Oakland magnets; and tie-dyed socks; and much, much more. This could be a nice place to take visitors from out of town to take a little of Oakland pride home with them."
