August

August is a Madison clothing and lifestyle shop that carries streetwear and footwear from a long list of brands, including Nike, Puma, Converse, Salomon and The North Face. The selection runs from tees, sweatshirts and denim to outerwear, sneakers and hats, along with bags, wallets, jewelry, socks, candles, incense and ceramics. The shop also stocks vinyl and publications for anyone looking beyond clothing.

Much of the catalog is also available to order online, and orders over $225 ship free. Gift cards are sold for friends who are hard to shop for. Sale items are final sale with no returns, so check sizing before buying discounted pieces. Customer service answers email during posted weekday, Saturday and Sunday hours, and the shop is at its Madison storefront.
