Movember is here. Not everyone can rock a Magnum P.I. moustache, so please…gentlemen, know your facial hair limits. Consider these classy alternatives. Now, back to fashion…
Moulé on Fourth Ave has lined their shelves with some new Autumn duds. I was in over the weekend and fell for this sweater. It would look perfect with a camel coat, am I right?
Because everyone should have an excellent camel coat! Vintage is a good option, but if you feel like you can shell out the big bucks, Eugene Choo on Main has a 3/4 length stunner selling for $700. It’s a Steven Alan, and it’s fucking beautiful. Emerson Made also has this one, which is awesome. My personal favourite is the casual and cute Ulla Johnson ‘Alice’ coat at The Block in Gastown. Feels like butter.
Ah, what about rain boots? I’m looking for a new pair because my Hunters leak like the Bush White House. I want something with some style, but seeing how this is Vancouver, gumboots need to…well, be gumboots. The trouble is, do I go for a new pair of Hunters or switch up to the Isle Jacobsons that I saw at Umeboshi on Main? Maybe some Natives?
Boys, enough with the hoodies already. You need some thick, warm and cozy Fall/Winter shirts. Lucky for you there is a pile of new Penfield gear at Mr. Lee’s General Store and Haberdashery. So great.
Sick to shit of Fall/Winter already? Yeah, I get it. Dig the new COMUNE 2012 Spring & Summer Women’s Collection (see video above). Sigh.
PS Good news: Community Thrift and Vintage is opening another shop. The new digs will be located at 311 Carrall and will open next month. Yay!
There are some awesome riding, moto style rain boots at The Fair on abbott.
I picked up a pair and have had warm and dry feet but more importantly they look kinda great.
