Classic leather black boot $195.
For a newer brand (they opened shop in 1995), Base London really impressed us with their wearability and quality. They make the shoes that every guy needs, from basic black lace ups for work, to a traditional brogue, they never miss a beat when it comes to knowing what guys want.

When it comes to shirts, SAND knows what they’re doing: slim fits, great price point, tons of variety in colour, fabric, and pattern. This fall they have something for every man, from the colourful and fashion-forward guy to the solid-colours man.
Tiger shirt $179, Johnny Love plaid shirt $165.
When you pack your summer clothes away, make sure your fall clothes are two things: aesthetically and functionally appropriate. Basic items like shirts will get worn every day, and they need to look right for the season (bye, bye bright summer colours) as well as be made with a heavier fabric. Think plaids, earthy colours, warm tones, and muted shades in a thicker cotton.
Johnny Love grey sportcoat $450, Johnny Love plaid sportcoat $450.
You know we’re big advocates of the sportcoat, so when we see the first sportcoats of fall arrive we can’t wait to get them on the shelves and onto our guys. The fuller tweeds, wools, and velvet details are back for fall, along with this season’s new shorter length, especially seen from Johnny Love.
Some guys have everything, and other guys are all about the details. Shoelaces often fall through the cracks when we’re getting dressed, even if you have everything and pay attention to details. Stolen Riches is ahead of the trend (which will be sure to come once your co-workers see your bold laces). Bright laces are a sure way to get noticed, and add a twist to your everyday basics shoes.
Aside from looking awesome, they’re made to last. To give the laces strength and longevity, they’re made from colourfast Nylon. Meaning the laces won’t break and the colours will stay bright. Every pair of Stolen Riches laces are guaranteed to last for the life of your shoes. Plus, they’re Canadian.
For only $17.50 a pair, they make a great gift or an addition to your own closet.
