But thats not what I said, I said calling someone a douche just for wearing expensive clothes is massively douchy. If some clown is wearing a shirt with a gigantic shiny gold GUCCI on it they are a douche, I totally agree. Honestly, I think having brand labels showing in any significant way is really tacky. Unless its like a tiny, tiny crest on the breast or something like that. The funniest thing is when people do it with overpriced low quality garbage like Armani Exchange etc, that are no better than like Gap quality yet they still have labels/logos all over the shirt and just look both tacky and dumb. Clothes filled with logos like that are basically made for poor/middle class people who wish to pretend they are rich. Clothes worn by actual rich people have tiny logos or none at all. But you can still feel an aura of wealth around them because of the fit and quality of the clothes. Of course, most of us can't afford really nice clothes, but we can still put together tasteful outfits that look good but don't scream "I SPENT A WEEKS WORTH OF MY LANDSCAPING MONEY ON THIS TAPOUT SHIRT" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the brothers who started it were born in Canada. However, they are based out of London now. The manufacturing doesn't take place in Canada. Neither does any of the corporate stuff. Not really sure what makes the company a "Canadian" clothing brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tre Mac Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Never really bothered with 'brands' just avoided anything sold at the gap lol. Exhaust, Point Zero and Southpole are the only brands I can think of besides Levi's that I wore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electro Rock Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 There are quite a few mid to high end clothing manufacturers located right in Vancouver, Arc'teryx has already been mentioned but there are others like like Westcomb, Stormtech, Taiga and a few others I can't recall at the moment. For dress clothing one that comes to mind is Blair Shapera, going to order me a fitted suit soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind getting a nicely fitted suit... but being a poor smuck, I'll just be shopping whenever I'm overseas, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milk and honey Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Harry Rosen for men luxury clothing. Lot's of Canucks buy their suits. If you ever wanna see a Canuck your best bet besides Rogers arena is Harry Rosen pacific center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fly to Saigon, take the bus up to Hoi-An, and you could get a kashmere hand made bespoken suit with some custom made dress shoes to match for cheaper than that.

falcon45ca Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 MEC! Considering how bomb-proof a lot of their clothing can be, it's surprisingly fashionable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fly to Saigon, take the bus up to Hoi-An, and you could get a kashmere hand made bespoken suit with some custom made dress shoes to match for cheaper than that. Bought locally and in SE Asia. The quality of the SE Asia stuff just isn't as good. You're looking at about $400 for what they consider a decent suit there. However, if you want daily wear, it won't last. Not a huge fan of Shapera either. It's too expensive. You're paying for their North American labour and store front. I typically buy suits from Himark or Martin Tailors. They are services that measure you here and then build the suits in Asia. Basically the best of both worlds. You get good quality and reasonable prices. You're looking at about $800 for one of their suits. More if you want to pay for higher end fabrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good to see Canadians doing well on the global scene, however, nothing when we talk about Canadian clothing, we typically mean the company or the production has to be based in Canada.

Just because it's from Vietnam doesn't mean it's a knock-off. Far from it actually. A number of my friends have gotten suits there and they are not lacking in quality. I actually got mine done in a shop in Bangkok though. Joe Sakic orders a number of his suits from the same place. http://dgeigsinsingapore.com/2013/05/12/bangkok-joe-sakics-love-of-thai-suits/ They keep the picture of him in the window of their shop. Something you wouldn't expect to see walking in Bangkok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
