Show Room is one of the best spots for jeans in Toronto! They feature an extremely wide range of brands, including Levi's, Cheap Monday, Edwin, Diesel, Naked&Famous (made in Canada!) and Nudie. They have a huge, orderly table right in the middle of the main floor, and the jeans are even arranged by brand, from loosest to tightest within that particular brand. They also feature 32 and 34 inseams whenever possible, which helps if you're not crazy about hemming or stacking, or if you're tall and need the long inseams.
Show Room also features clothes outside of jeans, from ultra-luxe Nobis coats, to Diesel and G-Star clubbing gear, to mod and workwear from the likes of Ben Sherman and Levi's.
Staff are friendly and extremely knowledgeable and are able to tell you about the quirks of their products.
Prices are also very reasonable (often below MSRP) and sales happen fairly regularly.
Show Room is a place not to be missed by denim heads! -

The Show Room is a bit out of my way - but since they were the only store that had the size and color I was on the hunt for ; plus they were willing to hold them for me - down I came for my Nobis coat.
The shopping experience was an interesting one - but I probably will come back here if I need to pick up something that is more or less exclusive to them.
I liked the fact that I was able to try on the entire Nobis line for women - before I made my decision and there wasn't too much pressure in terms of making the sale - which is huge for me; as that usually makes me want to turn tail and run on the opposite direction. -

Upon walking in, the workers greeted me with smiles and helped me find what I was looking for without smothering me with recommendations. The guy's stuff is on the upstairs level of the store along with the sales rack and some of the women's clothing.
Show Room has lots of fun (read: expensive) clothes....Diesel, Energie, G Star, etc.
One MORE note: every guy and girl working there were truly nice. Instead of making a sale to my friend, they recommended he try something else because the fit didn't work for him.

Okay, so I haven't been inside Show Room for over 2 years - the last time I entered I walked out with the most fabulously expensive BROWN denim jeans that still give me compliments from strangers! Still, every time I put them on, I feel like a million bucks - which means worth every penny.
Luckily my credit card wouldn't have allowed me to make any more purchases or else I would have likely bought out a lot of the store. Their stock is always changing - which I love because it means:
1. I will likely never see anyone wearing what I'm wearing
2. It's like a surprise every time I drop into TO and window shop
From what I do remember, the staff was so-so. But when I get a so-so treatment in TO I just think it has to do with the fact they haven't seen the ocean and mountains for while! -

Best part about Showroom -- even if you buy their cheapest jeans, you can get them hemmed for free. I bought a pair of Cheap Mondays that only cost $80 and got them hemmed to perfectly fit my short little legs.
As for the store itself, they have a great mainstream jean selection -- a huge table of Nudies, a decent selection of men's Rock & Republics, some Earnest Sewn, J.Brands, Tavernitis, True Religions and Joe's Jeans. If you're looking for the newest raw denim from Japan, they're not going to have it here, but if you just want a cool label on your bum, you'll find it on one of their tables.
Clothing there is cute but sometimes too flashy for my liking. If you like that Ed Hardy crap with all the rhinestones and lame tattoo flash, then maybe you'll like their t-shirts, but I'd stick to the jeans.
Something I've noticed during my experiences at the store is that it's really inconsistent. Maybe they go through merchandise too quickly, but one day they'll have those Cheap Mondays in black, the next the whole stack will disappear without a trace.
The staff ranges from really helpful to really annoying to just plain rude. I've had a handful of awesome experiences where employees have helped me out in a "doing-their-job-but-not-being-annoying-about-it" kinda way, and a couple times I've been followed and hassled like I'm going to steal something, or ignored completely. But that's only been once or twice, so the majority of the time, staff are great.
Sure, this place can be annoying sometimes, and it's usually pretty busy because it's on that touristy part of Queen, but the free hemming gets me every time because it's so darn convenient. -

Great place with cool brand name clothes (G-star mostly, diesel, energy, etc) and a great place for men to shop. Unfortunately it is a bit expensive and I don't think I can afford anything in there (shirts around $80, sweaters $120+, jackets $240+, etc) but still, they have a very cool selection.
When I get rich (within the next 5 years) I'll be coming here a lot!
