[ordo]

Do you know what the hours are? I would like to drop by and see Rob.

[RaymondChiu]

i'm assuming 11-6 or 7

cdg fragrances are not in yet, but soon!

for now its a HUGE w+h display and nice collective.

[projectdenim]

I'm coming to Vancouver for work, possibly. Yay for adidas and them paying for my flight. (: I'll possibly check out that Roden Gray place. Any other suggestions nearby?

[turcy.]

Going to van for a few days from the 6th to the 10th, hopefully I'll spy some of you randomly on the streets.

I ran into Braidkid at the W+H Sale today but didn't actually talk to him - I did talk to his GF briefly though.

you devil...

[ordo]

Actually, the only reason I spoke with her is because they left but then she came back asking directions to H&M. I hope they were able to find it.

[larssss]

finally went into roden gray, talk about minimal signage, but its got a lot of potential. kinda funny too how we went from no W+H in vancouver to pretty much their entire collection. sales rep (chris?) mentioned that during their boxing week sale they would have some previous season stuff as well, something about it coming from japan? so it may be more than just sample sale left overs.

anyway, anyone going to be there boxing day? i think i will, meet up? be nice to see some people again and meet others.

Vancouver cats, I don't know what the deal with these is but they only appear to be available in Canada.

I need a windbreaker and this k-way one is looking pretty spiffy. Been keeping an eye since I got the brand from Lucky_Cloud (pictured above) but so far no luck. Any information? Price? Retailers? If they're not bad price-wise I'd kill if someone could grab me two (one in black and one in white... probably).

[larssss]

there like $30-40 if i remember correctly, waterproof/seam sealed but breathes like a trash bag (ie: not at all) if i see any around I will let you know

[turcy.]

does roden gray carry any footwear? would help me figure out where to spend my money..

[larssss]

no footwear, decent pricing right now, grabbed a w+h henley today. the outerwear was 50% off, not bad at all

[turcy.]

yeah, i can't get there until the 30th, hopefully there's something left for me by then :/

[turcy.]

and is wings and horns the only brand that's on sale? or is any of their NC or CDG? also, any other sales on in van this week that i should check out?

[DanTheLadiesMan]

By any chance, does anyone know the email address for roden gray? Thanks.

This is the address from which they send to their mailing list.

[YIKES]

Any Vancouver SFers want a pair of first series W)Taps Vans Authentics (Black) in a size 10.5?

[lucky_cloud]

I wasn't that stoked on Roden Gray. Wings + Horns is okay, but I only really like a bit of their stuff, and they have basically nothing else in there. Filson bags, CDG fragrance, that's it. Prices were reasonable, at least.

[turcy.]

Yeah the selection was a little tenuous when I was there, but I think RG has potential. Rob was talking about stocking obedient sons and a few other brands. I picked up a W+H coat cause the price was irresistible (at cost essentially), and I'm looking forward to trying on the W+H x Dayton boots when they come in... really though I've turned to saving my money for bi-annual komakino purchases, let's see how long I make it :/

First off.....YOU FAIL AT IT (it is good shoes). But I am only obliged to help. K Swiss, to my knowledge, does not operate boutiques in any city. Shop online or at *shudder* Foot Locker.

There does however exist an Adidas store and a Puma store (which produce SOME fabulous sneakers) On Granville St, just south of Robson

[turcy.]

does anybody here actually work at any reputable stores in Vancouver?

[terutt]

ryanwilliamsmith is the manager of Roden Gray. Otherwise, no clue.
