About
worn differently
PUBLIC OPTION was born from weekends in the woods, mushroom giggles under redwoods, and twirls that outlasted the disco ball.It’s holding hands in the park when no one’s looking — or when everyone is.
It’s a cold beer on a Castro stoop, vintage shopping with your best bad idea, lovers in borrowed tees, men on bikes, boys in bars, and eye contact that says “yes” before your mouth does.
It’s messy, sexy, defiant joy — the kind that’s danced through fog, kissed in alleyways, and left its shirt behind on someone’s bedroom floor.
It’s very San Francisco.
PUBLIC OPTION isn’t just a shirt — it’s a quiet rebellion, a visible whisper, a soft snarl in cotton.Rooted in queer history, streetwear attitude, and vintage grit, we make gear that salutes the past while strutting into the future.
Our name is both a wink and a dare: you don’t need permission to be seen.Welcome in.Take off your jacket.Try it on.
This is your public option.
