It's not most people's cup of oil but for those of you that like boutique clothing stores that sell small runs of clothes by local designers this is the place for you. I haven't taken a long look at the women's section but from what I have seen it's every bit as nice as the men's. I've seen a number of shirts, dresses and pants along with a good selection of warm winter coats and hats.

This is a really great vintage store. Le Love!…read more VIBE Nice layout. Funky employees. THE GOODS They have fabulous 50s - 60s inspired lingerie here. And shorts! Shorts that are long enough with a funky print! I'm loving Libertine Libertine. A lot of the bags and men's stuff are very utilitarian. If you are a gay hipster, you will find many many things. This means I wish I was a gay hipster. OBLIGATORY CATCHY REMARK Frances Watson's future looks mighty fine to me. One of my faves in Parkdale.

Wardrobe for men, specifically Ashraf (the owner), saved us!…read more My husband and I flew in from California to attend a wedding. Unfortunately, the suit the groom purchased for him did not fit and my husband was in a bind to find one worthy to wear as best man with only five days notice. I was really uneasy about going to a big box store thinking about all the mistakes that could happen with alterations or lost suits + impersonal service. I came across this yelp page and saw that the owner had helped another Californian out in a jam with overnight service so we called him straight away on Monday morning. He said it wouldn't be a problem and to come on in to get measured. We were very nervous about the timing, but sure enough, Ashraf got it done for us with plenty of time to spare. He carefully selected a suitable black suit and started meticulously measuring away. Afterwards, he called the warehouse and was able to pick up the materials the same day. Ultimately after spending 25 minutes in the store, Ashraf said we would be able to pick it up within 2 days and not to worry. True to his word and much to our relief, we picked up my husband's perfectly tailored black suit on Wednesday afternoon. Ashraf was so helpful, reliable, and friendly. Wardrobe for men is truly a full wardrobe solution store. I also thought they were very reasonably priced for such full service and great selection of attire. We will definitely be back for more suits from Ashraf! Check him out, you will be so glad you did!

I had a really important investor business trip to Toronto from California and realized at the LAX…read moreairport gate just prior to boarding that I had left my suit bag in my car at a hotel airport parking. I called a work colleague and asked that he research the best stores to purchase a suit for my next day business meeting that began at 9 am. The problem that I faced was my flight was going to arrive in Toronto airport just after 7 pm and all the stores would be pretty much closed by the time I got to Downtown area. As soon as my plane landed in Toronto I turned my phone on and saw that my colleague recommended Wardrobe for Men via text. He said that he had spoken to Ashraf the owner and instructed me to call Ashraf when I arrived at the store which I did. Ashraf came and opened the store around 830 pm. The store had a wide range of great quality suits to select from and I purchased an excellent quality navy colored suit made in Canada. Ashraf fitted me to the suit beautifully but the issue was that it needed to be altered for arm and leg length and it was already 830 pm. Ashraf was able to reach his alterations person after many calls and begged him to do an alteration for me at the late hour. The guy agreed and Ashraf called his son to come and pick up my suit and deliver to the alterations person. After the son came after 30 minutes Ashraf's wife kindly pressed and ironed my suit and shirt. He then asked his son to take me to my hotel which was 10 minutes away which by the time I arrived was after 10 pm. I got some dinner and went to bed and my meeting the next day was a success. I have never experienced such par excellence service literally in my life. I will always be grateful and remember Ashraf each time I wear the suit. I don't like to write review generally but I want to share this amazing experience.

When it comes to cool, nothing can top Klaxon Howl…read more Klaxon Howl features a carefully curated (I know this isn't Toronto Life, but there's really no other way to describe it) of vintage military surplus gear and vintage inspired workwear. Here, you can find the elusive Levi's Vintage Clothing collection, which has reproductions of 501 cuts from 1933, '44, the iconic 1947, '54 and '55. Imported Japanese Sugarcanes make an appearance too They also produce their own line of workshirts and selvedge denim. The selection of vintage milsurp is incredible. They feature an array of Russian telnyashkas (striped navy shirts) Canadian Navy blazers, Canadian Army boots, US military M-65 jackets and fishtail parkas (M-51 and 65). The owner is super knowledgeable, and is able to tell you the story behind everything in the store. If you need to know the difference between an M-51 and M-65 fishtail parka, or the difference in the fit of 1947 and 1955 pattern Levi's 501s, he can tell you- you'll literally go from "that looks kinda cool" to knowing the history of the garment in minutes. To sum it up, you have great stock, a cool owner and a place that can't be missed!

They have super cute vintage dresses that I was particular taken with and still love to look at (even though during covid my preferred outfit is sweats). I got so many compliments on dresses I bought from that store, whether I wore their stuff socially or at work. Actually it kind of made me feel like I was one of those glamorous women in Mad Men. I'll always have a soft spot for this place - highly recommend if you're into vintage, pretty dresses. Most of that part of Queen Street has great vintage finds.

The storefront says, "Buy Fresh, Buy Local." But in reality, it should be "Buy Local? Buy Fresh."…read more The Collective (note not co-op) is a wonderful little haven of handmade crafts and goods. There were more adorable earrings, purses, and clothes than I could fathom. My friend and I wandered the store for nearly an hour alternately exclaiming, "cute!" with mouth agape or chatting up the staff. As Erin H mentions, each showcased artist/designer works onsite once a week. The only downside to this is if inquiring minds have questions about something other than the artist du jour personally made, there won't be any answers. And as a person with some hard core metal allergies, I won't buy jewelry unless I am certain that it doesn't contain anything that will make my earlobes swell. However, I was lucky to encounter the artist who crafted the earrings that fell in love with and so, got to take them home with me (and support the local arts). Plus, I was able to be a helper that day (I love being of assistance). As the resident artist handed me a credit card receipt, I was able to pass along this little tip: legal colors only please! I passed on the pink pen handed to me and instead signed with a my own, handy blue plume. For, although I wasn't planning on contesting the charges, anyone could attempt to do so and without either a customer's blue or black ink signature on file, the store might end up "out" some fundage.
