Fall 2013 New Arrivals: Johnny Love

September 13, 2013
Fall is shaping up to be quite a beautiful season, especially when you see styles like these hitting our store. Johnny Loves mission “To make men dress sharper in everyday life.” has definitely come true with this seasons collection. Hailing from Trondheim, Norway, a remote Nordic area which is known for its rough weather, with lots of rainfall and winds, and a long, snowy winter, gives the brand a unique understanding to cater to our Canadian landscape. Which is probably why one of their apparent strengths is outerwear. The Norwegian man much like the Canadian man is passionate about his jacket or coat, and demands garments that are both warm, comfy and fashionable.
Check out these great new arrivals now available in-store.

What’s New: Transitional Outerwear x Strellson

February 7, 2013

Warmer days are fast approaching, which means that there are going to be days where wearing a parka is going to be too hot and consequently wearing a sweater or sportcoat isn’t going to be enough. That’s why owning a great tansitional outerwear piece is a necessity. With these options from Strellson, you will be warm and look good at the same time.

Coat: Strellson $348, Blazer: Gsus $305, T-Shirt: Gsus $65, Trousers: Gsus $159

Here is a great example of layering. One of the key features of owning a transitional outerwear piece is that you still have the ability to layer for the colder days, and take away layers for those slightly warmer ones. In this look we took this 4 pocket field jacket from Strellson and matched it with a printed Tee, tailored twill blazer and pants from Gsus. Creating a sophisticated look, without all the bulk.

Coat: Strellson $348, T-Shirt: Zanerobe $60, Chino: Vito $98

This next outfit is great because it offers all the refinements of a blazer while still allowing you create variations from your existing wardrobe. As we mentioned, you have the options to layer this outfit or as shown, wear it with a nice tee from Zanerobe and classic chino’s by Vito. Keeping it casual isn’t always a bad thing when done right. As we say sometimes less is more.

Trench Coat: Strellson $298, Shirt: Stone Rose $158, Chino: Vito $88

Looking to add some variation to your casual fridays? Check out this lined trenchcoat by Strellson. It has a great length for those taller guys and comes lined, which is something to consider when purchasing any transitional outerwear piece. Throw in a bold check shirt by Stone Rose and some nice blue twill pants from Vito and you’ll be ready to take on Spring with confidence and style!

What’s A Moose Knuckle?

December 23, 2012

What’s so good about a Moose Knuckle parka? Other than looking good, they’re built with details that make the $700 plus price tag one of the best investments you can have hanging in your closet.

  1. Made in Canada. Nobody knows how to stay warm better than fellow Canadians.
  2. 100% Canadian down filling. AKA the best winter protection you can get.
  3. Water repellant and windproof. Most jackets don’t have this.
  4. Detachable hood trimmed with Fox fur. Extra warmth and if you don’t like the look of fur – remove the hood.

We carry the men’s Ballistic Bomber and Stirling parka, both pictured below. Our more casual guys love the bomber style, and the longer Stirling parka is great for guys who wear suits as it’ll prevent your jacket from sticking out below the jacket. Both have fleece-lined pockets that will keep your hands warm.

 

Ballistic bomber $750, Stirling parka $795. 

The Benefits of A Nobis Parka

December 18, 2012

Canada, the land of six-month winters and well-built parkas. Forget the polyester filled cheapies and Canada Goose jackets. If you want to stay warm and dry, get inside of a Nobis. Here’s what makes up each Nobis parka:

  1. 100% waterproof shell. The only parka to offer complete protection from rain, sleet, and snow.
  2. Wire-framed hood. The end of hoods being blown down in the wind, and extra warmth.
  3. Filled with 100% Canadian down. The best of the best.

We have two styles in stock: the Cartel bomber and the Yatesy parka. Both offer the same benefits, while the Yatesy’s longer length offers more protection from wind and can be work over suits without your suit jacket sticking out below the jacket.

Nobis Cartel bomber $750, Yatesy parka $950.
