General Quarters

General Quarters has been on La Brea Avenue in Los Angeles since 2010, an independent with a single shop and a clear idea of what it likes: rugged clothes that still make sense in the city. It's known for mostly American-made brands, and it also makes its own tees, sweatshirts and hats.

The edit leans heritage and workwear. Filson and Double RL sit alongside RGT, Rogue Territory and Tellason for denim and sturdy basics. Japanese and European voices add range, with Beams Plus, OrSlow, Anonymous Ism and Porter-Yoshida & Co, plus Il Bussetto, Universal Works and Corridor for a softer, more tailored feel. Snow Peak and Far Afield bring the outdoors into the mix, and TSPTR rounds it out. It's a good stop if you want clothes built to be worn hard.
