Custom Merch for Bands in San Francisco, CA
Merch Mob makes tour tees, hoodies for cold dates, and hats and beanies for bands in San Francisco, CA, at its shop in Montclair, CA, and ships them to San Francisco. College enrollment in San Francisco, 7% of residents aged 3 and up, matches the national 7% but trails the 8% across California (Census ACS, 2020-2024), so plan a size run for a mixed-age crowd rather than a student one.
San Francisco by the numbers
San Francisco has 826,079 residents, 6% fewer than in 2020 (Census estimates).
San Francisco County has 31 musical groups and artists with paid employees (Census County Business Patterns, 2023). That is 0.38 for every 10,000 residents, above the national figure of 0.17. 71% of them employ fewer than 10 people. The count is about where it was in 2018 (30).
The Census only counts acts with a payroll, so most bands, which have none, are not in this figure.

What San Francisco's weather means for bands
Highs average 70°F or more only from September to October, so for most dates here a long sleeve or hoodie belongs in the core order, with tees close behind. Frost is rare, with January lows averaging 47°F, so a midweight hoodie does more work on this table than a heavy one, and beanies are optional. December is the wettest month, at about 4.8 inches, so bring a tarp or tent for any outdoor table that month.
