Pladra was founded by Jeff Ladra in 2010. The name of the store Pladra is the combination of P for plaid and Ladra, the owners last name. This location on Hayes Street is the first physical store, which opened this summer on July 1st, 2017. The store primarily sells plaid flannels, hats, and scarfs which are 100% cotton, high quality, and made without mass production. Their main focus, the plaid flannels sells from $119-$140 dollars. The clothes sold here are proudly made in San Francisco, United States.
Since Jeff Ladra is a dedicated hunter himself, he understands the fashion needs of hunters and fishermen. As Ethan, the store manager explains, “We want to make clothes where you can go fishing or hunting and then go the bar afterwards without having to change”. Clothes from Pladra are thick and warm, and has a Made in U.S.A. on the back of the shirt which is hard to find these days. Pladra has a huge online community that supports clothes made in the United States. The interior design of the store can be described as very “American”.
