Santa Barbara's Tendrel has Good Vibes and Killer Threads
Some men's style and soul, straight outta Santa Barbara, California.
The Curated Man
Forget cookie-cutter trends, Tendrel curates Santa Barbara style with a soul. Their selection is the perfect blend of classic pieces and modern edge for the solid dude, offering modern heritage goodness epitomized by brands like 3sixteen, Mr. Freedom, and Iron Heart. Whether you're looking for the 3-season flannel of your dreams or raw denim you can ride with it, these folks got it on lock.
Nestled in the heart of the Funk Zone, the store itself is about as groovy as it gets with Cortis-approved A+ vibes— a quick jaunt from the beach and many of the area's favorite watering holes. Vinyl crackles on the turntable, good conversations abound, and you can snag a dope record, a pair of shades, or a comfy hat alongside your new favorite threads. No excuse to skip Tendrel.
And, of course, they have a full stable of online offerings. Here are a few of our top picks! Remember to support small businesses and dope shops that are doing things the right way.
