Roden Gray Boutique by Jonah Samson
One of my new favorite stores in Vancouver (well one of my new favorites anywhere, actually) is Roden Gray, a recent addition to Vancouver's trendy Gastown neighborhood.
Roden Gray maintains a carefully-selected range of clothing, shoes, bags and accessories from labels that bring sophistication to casual menswear such as Wings + Horns, Filson, Nice Collective and Obedient Sons. My particular favorites on a recent visit were the plain (but extremely well-cut) t-shirts in sexy black boxes and the white leather high-tops with side zippers, both from Wings + Horns.
Apart from the great products, I'm also loving the local Douglas Fir logs that have been burned and then transformed into displays, as well as the customized lighting by Canadian industrial designer Omer Arbel.

Tretorn NY Store and Gullwing Collection
Along with the recent opening of Tretorn's first NYC store, their recently announced Autumn/Winter 2008 collection, called Gullwing, is full of shoes riffing on the preppy classic in ways we can get behind. The Skymra, for example, swaps out laces for asymmetrical elastic bands, transforming the classic silhouette of the tennis shoe into an avant-slip-on. The canvas version ($70) in bright yellow with a...
