  1. Main Street:

    -Lark: Lots of LVC, Barbour, and similar stuff. Some original knitwear. Good place to go if you want to dress "gentlemanly".

    -F as in Frank Vintage: Never seen anything worth buying in here, but they have good visual merchandising I guess.

    -Ark: Some reworked vintage leather jackets, lots of "quirky" silkscreened t-shirts and sweaters.

    Solid Threads Vintage: The proprietor is really nice and my female friends have found some great dresses in here, but it's overall not a very great selection of clothes.

    -Eugene Choo: Cool little boutique. Carries APC, CREEP, Pendleton among others.

    -Umeboshi Shoes: Nice selection of shoes.

    -Front & Company: Consignment store, actually gets in a lot of good stuff. Last time I was there there was a lot of Burberry and Wings + Horns, all of it in giant sizes though.

    -Vincent Park: Carries Cheap Monday, Fred Perry, Dr. Denim. Men's selection isn't the best.

    -Woo Vintage: Probably the best vintage place in Vancouver. Well-curated selection of stuff, most of it a recognizable brand.

    Gastown:

    -Two of a Few: Carries Folk, Penfield, Scotch & Soda, Shades of Greige and others. It's in the pointy part of a flatiron building with glass on both sides which is pretty cool.

    -Nouvelle Nouvelle: Carries Cheap Monday, Kai- Aakman, Shades of Greige and other lines. Some interesting obscure jewelry. Men's selection isn't very big.

    -Dutil Denim: The go-to place for jeans in Vancouver.

    -Block: Carries Fred Perry, Rogues Gallery, Spiewak, Filson bags and other stuff.

    -Obakki: Locally designed (and made I think?) clothes.

    -Roden Gray: The place for upscale menswear. Recently moved onto Water Street. Probably the best selection of Wings + Horns stuff in the world.

    Haven: The building it's in used to be a jail which is cool but it also makes it super hard to find.

    Other Places:

    -Gravity Pope (Kitsilano): Amazing store. This, Zulu Records and The Eatery are really the only reasons to ever go to Kitsilano.

    -Hill's of Kerrisdale (Kerrisdale): Really out of the way but has some interesting stuff.

    The only stores on Robson Street with men's clothing that aren't in every mall in North America are Bang-On (silkscreening store), El Kartel (Sneakers and mid-market streetwear), Plenty (this store doesn't really know what it wants to be, carries Fred Perry, Cheap Monday, Nudie and skate brands) and Boy's Co.
