Rejoice, Bay Area tomboys. The search for well-fitting menswear is over.

Tomboy Tailors, the first ever gender-queer clothing boutique, is opening in the Crocker Galleria on February 2. The store will offer a menswear collection for those who were born female.

The idea grew out of 47-year-old founder Zel Anders' frustration with the limited availability of well-fitting menswear for women. A San Francisco resident of more than 30 years, Anders hopes to provide Bay Area customers with better choices.

"I am having so much fun just watching people ponder and choose from the several hundred fabrics that they have as options," Anders told the San Francisco Bay Guardian.
