| - This recently opened (July 2014) men's clothing and accessory store is located one block west of Tomkins Park, and it is a triumph of location and stock. I walked by on a brisk January afternoon on my way to fetch my wife and sister at Steeling Home when the display of VHS tapes (notably the Godfather collection across six tapes) and skate shoes in the wide window caught my eye. I decided to double back and take a peek: the hardwood floors, generous lighting and big mirrors definitely looked more inviting than the snow.
Although they are marketed as primarily a skate shop, it betrays their true colors of a catch-all of great product. Once inside I was dazzled by the selection of popular and hard-to-find products I hadn't seen around town before: Ursa Major face products, Taylor's shaving accessories, Filson wool blankets and wallets, Red Wing boots. The helpful sales associate notified me of their basement: clothing! A huge lineup of Naked and Famous tops and bottoms, Levi's, Filson jackets, Nudies. A veritable paradise for a gentleman of hipster dispositions! I ended up walking out with my long-desired N&F 7mm belt, and an Ursa Major face wash.
Although I was pressed for time during my visit, I did get a great vibe from the place and next time I am in the area I will definitely stop by to gaze longingly at their products.
