Review from Johnson C.
Vancouver, BC
If you live (or grew up living) on the eastside of Quebec St and are proud of it, you will love Sharks + Hammers. After the closure of Sweatshop on Hastings (the supplier of my beloved 'I (love) East Van' shirt), I thought all hope was lost. Let your East Van pride fly high and come here for a 'welcome to east van' shirt, 'Save-On Meats - Never Forget' tee or a 'I went to eastvan and all I got was mugged' mug.
Beyond the store brand touting its community roots in East Van, they have some of the most original and freshest graphic tees - many with incredibly clever hip-hop references. If I started a boutique/brand, it would be similar to Sharks + Hammers.
The tiny shop is on the same block as Goodfoot and is covered by window bars after some a string of bulgaries ('Welcome to East Van', indeed). They also carries brands like Mishka and some other small, dope labels.
Not to be missed if you love fresh t-shirts, especially from a small, local label.Listed in: Addicted to Fresh, "You're the best! Around!", East Van Life

After wandering around Gastown enjoying the likes of Goodfoot and Livestock we ended up in Sharks and Hammers. It's a small streetwear shop with mostly tees. Definitely somewhere you'd go if you're craving a new Biggie shirt. I quite liked a few of the styles, but even though most items were considered unisex, nothing I liked would've been nearly small enough. I do love their hammerhead print they've come up with, but alas I wasn't able to take it home with me.
