    It's pretty cool to see a place like this opening in Royal Exchange Square - sure, it looks just…read morelike a men's clothes shop from the outside, but inside there's also a coffee station and barber as well. I popped in for a super quick look - I was contemplating getting a coffee but then thought better of it seeing it was already late afternoon. I did notice that Papercup don't just do coffee though, there's also a small selection of cakes on offer. Forty is the clothing side of things and while it's not my kind of thing (edgy streetwear), they did have some nice stuff and tshirts. There's also Safehands Barbers so you can get a whole new look with a cut and some clothes. In this area, I can't think of any other independent coffee shops so I'd definitely pop back for a coffee next time I'm in Royal Exchange Square.

    Day one for this interesting shop/place…read more It includes a barber, shoe repair/laundry centre, range of clothes from the Forty line, and Papercup coffee. I had a quick look around, it's a nice space, clothes and sneakers downstairs, barber through the back, Papercup up front. A nice modern addition to Royal Exchange Square, the logo for the Forty range were designed by the owners kid, which is a nice touch, and I'm so happy that Papercup are now in the city centre! Definitely be back to do some shopping, and of course, get some good coffee!!

    Very excited about this store that has just opened…read more For a while....unless you want to use Cruise or W2 in the West End, we have been quite limited in Glasgow for contemporary menswear. Montrose fills the gap perfectly stocking Engineered Garments, Beams, CP Company and many more lines to come. It's a beautiful store. Opens up wife at the back with very cool fridges for accessories. The Web site is still under development. So it seems we are having a resurgence of menswear in Glasgow, with END opening a huge store in Merchant City this year too. Montrose is a very smart and welcome addition.

    THIS STORE IS HORRIBLE ONLINE. This is an email I sent them days ago now after having other emails…read moreunreplied to that details the nightmare that has been my experience with them. "Good afternoon, I order a lot of stuff online from many questionable sources, so I have a very high tolerance for dealing with dumb stuff, but my experience with your store has been far and away the worst I have ever experienced in my life. Let me summarize for you the ridiculous things that have happened while I was trying to spend money at your store. First of all your checkout was broken as hell and it took me 3 tries to check out. Since it took me so long, the Teal Rick Owens Hike shirt I was trying to purchase sold out, and I was unable to purchase. After completing my order I was charged through paypal for the full total. But then, the order didn't ship. So you had my money but there was no indication the status of my order. It took TWO WEEKS to ship, and in that time I emailed customer service multiple times and got no response. NONE AT ALL. Finally the package shipped - but only half my items shipped. The worst part of this is that the items that shipped were not the two I wanted most, but rather the two I had added to help justify the cost of shipping. Still no word on whether or not the other 2 items had been canceled. Also, when the two items shipped I was AGAIN CHARGED for the value + tax + shipping on those two items. So now I have been DOUBLE CHARGED and I'm only getting half my items. Today the package arrived and when I opened it I noticed the two items that didn't ship were simply crossed off on my invoice in red pen. No cancellation email, no monetary refund, JUST CROSSED OUT ON THE INVOICE. As frosting on the cake, one of the two items you did send me, the shoes, ARE ENTIRELY THE WRONG COLORWAY. I ordered vans in black suede with a snakeskin stripe, and I received grey Vans with a burgundy stripe. I want to know what you're going to do to make this right. Quite frankly I think it is utterly ridiculous that I'm even having to deal with this. I want you to take the shoes back - and I'm not paying for shipping back. I want my money back for the double charge and the items I didn't get. And I think I should be refunded the shipping cost too since I've now only gotten ONE ITEM I actually wanted and I would have never bought that one item alone because of the high cost of shipping." I HAVE HEARD NOTHING BACK AND THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING TO MAKE THIS RIGHT.

    My partner and I stopped by Glasgow Vintage Co our last day in Glasgow. There are a few vintage…read morestores around this area, but of the bunch, this one definitely had the best selection. When you walk in, you clearly get the vibe that this is a university student's frequent haunt. As we shopped here, students came in and out, receive a discount, and generally have their needs met with the types of clothing available. However, the selection of clothes in the store isn't so student oriented that a wider audience won't be able to find something of interest. The first floor is more women's oriented, with tartan featuring prominently. The second floor is men's, which had some decent selections of Fred Perrys and the like. When we were there, the store was staffed just by a couple girls on the first floor, and they were pretty deep in conversation with each other. Didn't bother us at all, but perhaps don't expect to have staff catering to your every need here. But if you just like to do your thing and browse through the racks, you should be well sorted.,

    TL;DR bad quality, overpriced, cheeky response. Would like…read moreto say the staff member on when I was in was lovely. However... I spent good money (too much) on trousers that had an irreparable defect that I did not notice until I put them on at home. I understand this is a risk with 2nd hand clothing, and places don't accept returns etc, but I do draw the line at paying ~£30 for something I literally can't wear. I messaged their instagram page about it and expressed my disappointment that they weren't willing to reconcile this in any way (I said I felt this was poor customer service) and the message I received back was so cheeky I am honestly in disbelief. So here I am doing the only thing I can do since I've literally wasted my money.

I was killing time the other afternoon while waiting for an appointment, and I walked past the store front. Like a choir of angels singing from above, I saw the coat I knew I wanted to get a certain someone for Christmas. Best known for their high-end luxury, ultra sexy sleek, all-weather outerwear, mainly geared towards the motorsports and aviation, Belstaff is just downright timeless. Forget fast fashion, if you want investment pieces, you'll get it here. After walking past the store admiring the coat probably 5 times, I decided to go inside and interrogate the poor lone sales guy, who was super friendly and knowledgeable. I found out the following: * The name of aforementioned super sexy man coat for super special partner in mind, and the price tag * If the store doesn't have the style/colour/size you want, they will order it in for you to try with no obligation to purchase * They have their pieces altered by Sew Easy (quadruple validation - see my review here: http://www.yelp.com/biz/sew-easy-glasgow#hrid:rbAXylZcHMloLLDdcfeoXg) * He recommended other styles that I/partner would possibly like * He also recommended a size based off of the Hugo Boss suit sizing I knew my partner wears * If they don't have the product in the UK (Manchester or London), then they will expedite shipment from NY or Italy After the Spanish Inquisition was over, I was really chuffed with knowing the variety of options I had, and the lengths the store would go to make the customer happy. If only more stores had customer service like this and were less aloof... But I guess it comes with a price tag, eh?

    Oh dear. I only went in for a tin of wax for an old jacket and ended up leaving with a rather…read morelovely new addition to my wardrobe. Am sure the clothes are so good they could sell themselves, but the store design compliments the style and the guys know what they're talking about. While I'm ageing like a Mongolian herdsman, my new jacket will be getting better as the years fly by. Dorian Gray eat your heart out.

    There comes a time in a mans life where he looks at his clothes collection and thinks... 'tartan, I…read moreneed more tartan.' No? Just me then? Screw you guys. So, with this in mind I set about scouring all available charity and retro shops for the odd bit of funky tartan. After grabbing a rather nifty pair of tartan troos from a charity shop a few months ago, I've since been on the trail of a nice tartan waistcoat to join my growing collection of man girdles... I mean, waistcoats... ahem... Aye, so I popped in here after a wee mop chop at the neighbouring Mo Hair and spotted a kick ass wee tartan job for about a tenner. Sold. This place is very reasonable and jam packed with a ton of vintage gear ranging in styles. Good service. Good prices. Good heavens I'll be back!

    The City is a recent addition to Glasgow's vintage scene, and jam packed with clothes!…read more It's a wonder the rales withstand all these items hanging on them; and you'd need a good 6 hours to spare to get through everything they've got in here. From old bat wing jumpers to spangly velvet prom dresses, it's enough to beat the 80s out your system by snaffling up these goodies. The store is split evenly into guys and doll's clothes, although choice for the senorita's seems to top the bill as they have an extensive range of long dresses, dating as far back as the 50s. But most of their clothing seems to be from the 70s and beyond as there are a lot of old tennis tops to be had for men, and brown prarie dresses for women. Items look evenly and fairly priced, so you're looking to spend roughly £20 on a dress, £15 on a skirt, £10 on a jumper and the tops are super cheap. For guys, they have decent priced Wrangler denim shirts (which as I'm writing this are very in), sports jackets galore (so you can look like an 80s footballer) and loads of jeans in really good condition. The rails are crammed with choice. The girls who work in here are lovely - very chipper, helpful and you can hear them singing along to their CD's! I got a plaid shirt out of here today so I was chatting away to one of the girls. She sounds like she's Spanish, I'm not sure, but she says they source their stock from as far away as Germany and Holland. It explains the variety of clothing, as you can always find something different in here. And it's cheap, so I will be taking advantage of their nautical selections since they are so affordable!

Anyway, I remembered it as a good place for off-beat gifts and knick-knacks with a select choice of funky clothing, but now they seem to have expanded the clothing lines considerably with two floors of hip goodies. I didn't have enough time to browse as I was on a particular mission this day (which was not fulfilled here), and anyway I'm way too old to wear most of the cool stuff they sell; but I've definitely bookmarked them for a return visit when I have more time to browse.

Clothes-wise it's pretty hit and miss. I don't buy as much stuff here as I used to but a space invaders jumper I got literally almost a decade ago still makes the occasional appearance on my back, as does a G-Star track top which I'll assume they don't still sell since the brand has become a bit neddy. My most recent purchase was an initially cracking t-shirt with the Back To The Future DeLorean on it, which despite costing £28 fell apart quite quickly and is now only worn to bed, making it a bit of a letdown. It's still always worth a look though, and despite it's incredibly contrived coolness I don't find it half as irritating as Topman / Topshop, and the gadget / homeware section on the bottom floor is always a good way to while away ten minutes when waiting on a train.

    Are you wearing Jack Wills?…read more If you were, it would say so on your t shirt. Or your head. Or your bum! Jack Wills is a crisp new addition to the higher end designer shops on Buchanan Street. Situated over two floors in a lovely building, its wicker chairs and blanched out boardwalk scenes speak of summer... Only right now, it's not summer. And if you're used to staying in Glasgow, you could argue that summer is a season that skips our fair city. A toss up between surfer dude and posh southern England totty, you will like this shop if you like clothes that are fashioned to look retro but are also unmistakably designer. It's a bit more laid back than Made in Chelsea, and mixing the styles of preppy and indie up a bit. A beautiful shop with a nice layout, but a bit too high end for the likes of myself (who takes pride in having holey Converse and buying 2 pound tatty jumpers from charity shops). I'm not a label kind of gal - but if you are, you will probably like it since it's pretty amiable and tasteful!

The shopping experience was fine and I like all the stuff they have this season however when I went to try stuff on one of the changing areas was locked and the other had no attendant and there was someone reserving the room for someone else so I had to wait a long time.
