Janie and Jack - (415) 409-1259 - 2108 Chestnut St., San Francisco, CA 94123 (MARINA/COW HOLLOW)

This chain children's clothing boutique in Marina /Cow Hollow brings up images of sailing in the cape, or shucking clams with your 1 year old in his seersucker roll cuff pants.  Sailing is always a theme along with Easter Sunday so it seems as any of the dresses would be appropriate for church. Still, Janie and Jack has some solid outfits, and quality is decent.  The benefit of the chain is their neverending flurry of sales, so it's nice to swing by every few weeks for 30%-50% off older inventory.
