Ace Rivington — Local services in Santa Barbara

Stumbled into this place while I was waiting for my mom and sister to finish shopping, and so glad I did.

Immediately upon feeling the material of the shirts, I was pulled in. I’m a sucker for a good t-shirt and these were beautifully built.

The store is owned by a husband and wife - the husband is the designer. I had the pleasure of meeting the wife, who not only gave me the rundown of their shirts and business, but had an incredible convo with me. It felt like I met a friend rather than a store owner. My mom and sister even waited outside and asked “did you know her??” Nope. But now I feel like I do.

She pointed out a few t-shirt designed by her husband. Many had Santa Barbara influences, like a band tee that featured the best places to eat; another with all the concert venues. Im not one to buy tourist t-shirts, like a neon tee with “SANTA BARBARA” emblazoned across it; so this was a very welcomed alternative - and fit my style way more. I went with the restaurant tee, as I’m a huge foodie and it featured a few spots we visited during the trip. The fact that someone designed this tee was really the icing on the cake.

Back in NY, I’m getting tons of compliments on my t-shirt. I’ll most likely be ordering a few plain tees, as I absolutely love the feel and material. I can already tell this is gonna be a staple in my wardrobe and it’ll invoke tons of great memories...

I can't even express how positive my experience has been with this business. I was interested in their denim, being that it is of high quality and a local product. The amount of help I got from Beau, Fox, and Chris was quite unexpected from any sort of retail store. Everyone went above and beyond to help me find what I needed. They offer free alterations and stand by their product, which is something that is almost non-existent these days. I commend all of the staff on their product knowledge and their genuine and thoughtful assistance in helping customers to find what they need. If you are like me and have a hard time finding the 'perfect' pair of jeans, and are tired of spending money on stuff that is mass produced and ends up sitting in the back of your closet, then invest in a product from Ace Rivington that will last you years, and feel good knowing you are supporting an ethical, sustainable, local, and high...

TL;DR: Going to Ace Rivington will help you develop your style in a comfortable, judgement-free space and Beau makes the best, most comfortable pants you'll ever wear.

Been meaning to write a review for two years now and Ace Rivington has only gotten better since my first pair of jeans. If you want quality masculine clothing with impeccable no-questions-asked service, this is the place to go. Beau will find and tailor a pair of jeans that fit your body and style perfectly. The quality denim and construction makes these pants worth every penny and more. And if you need an alteration or repair, there's no extra cost.

I also highly recommend a custom-fitted belt or two. Once you wear one you'll never go back to off-the-shelf belts, and these belts will...
