Review from Justin B.

This is my favorite shop in montreal. And not just because I like riding fixies. This shop represents the best of what "street" influenced fashion is all about. Small brands grown out communities of people focused on similar passions/interests. Brakeless is as much a clothing shop as it is a bike shop. Its interesting to contrast the experience of walking into Brakeless and walking into Off The Hook, another "streetwear" shop in Montreal. Im not dogging Off The Hook by any means. I liked that shop a lot. But there is something raw and unique about Brakeless. Authentic is an overused word, but if it applies anywhere it applies here. You can see it in the palette of more subdued colors of the clothing. You can feel it in the shops rough around the edges charm. And most of all if you spend a few minutes chatting with Sylvester, the owner, you know its all coming from the right place. Im honestly bummed I will probably only make it here once a year. Thanks for the half-cabs and the fuct. shirt!
