Update on my most recent visit. Hate to do it but I have to bring it down by a star.
They carry one of my fave designers for men's wear, Pal Zileri.
One of the newer (relatively speaking) designers that they are carrying is Neil Barrett. Quite nice…More »

Not cheap if you come here. Expect to break your piggy bank.
However, they do have beautiful,… Read more »
2. Harry Rosen Gentleman's Apparel
This is my usual stop, for actual purchases, more so than the downtown location. This HR location knows me better than the downtown store and they are friendlier and more welcoming to me. Customer service is of utmost importance with HR.

3.5
Harry, I like you. I really do.
Your staff here is good, but not as good as the Oakridge store. I do like the selection here more, but again your staff here doesn't recognize me and give me personal greetings like they do at Oakridge.
I will say…More »

This is an interesting store for men's wear. They have the dressy side and the casual side.
The dressy side has a HUGE selection of designer stuff, possibly the largest in Vancouver. In addition, they have little carve out areas for certain…More »

Came in here just before my walk over to the Brooks Brothers store.
I can't believe that this store has been around since the opening of the Shangri-la Hotel and I STILL did not go in yet. I even went on a guided walking tour of the hotel when it…More »

Dunn's is probably what I would call mid-tier for mens clothing retailers. What they don't have are the high end Italian designers. However, they do carry Samulesohn, Ted Baker, Baumler, etc, which are a little more conservative compared to the…More »

The store is located in the upper level of the Royal Centre Mall.
Part of my (almost) daily routine when I go for my lunch time walks, I will stroll past this store. I'll typically peek inside to see if there is anything that I would fancy. For a…More »

I've wandered into this store many times but have not bought anything. Not that there is anything wrong with it but there was nothing that caught my eye. Their selection is a bit limited when I compare it to other stores such as Harry Rosen or Holt…More »

Leone L2 is the sister shop of the main store and is located in the basement level. Obviously I only look at the mens stuff in here.
Overpriced casual wear, such as jeans, t-shirts and that kinda genre. Whether it be Harry Rosen, Holt Renfrew, or…More »

I walked into Brooks Brothers when it first opened a couple of years ago and had a peek around. The store was clean, new, and very brightly lit. I didn't care for much of what I saw. Too conservative, too ivy league preppy, too Ralph Lauren, and…More »

Right beside the PGA Tour Store, you can walk into it from the PGA store or from the terminal.
The store is a lot smaller than the downtown Vancouver Store on Alberni Street. Similar merchandise, but limited selection due to the small store size.

The store is deceptively deep if you were just to look at it from the outside. They have quite a large selection of men's suits given that this is an independent store and not part of a chain.
I ended up having a 10-15 min conversation with one of…More »

For this week's workout, I came on Wednesday and it was a bit busy at this Kits location.
The funny thing about this location is the ventilation. I mention this because, of the three that I have been to, this one has steamy windows in the winter…More »

There has been some serious renos here in the past while. The men's change rooms are now redone. Brand new lockers with a faux-wood exterior, new sink counter area and new sinks.
Waiting for them to redo the stalls and the shower area. They will…More »

Wow, only one review!??
Leone has been around for quite some time. They have quite a selection for designer mens wear - you know,....... the usual suspects, Prada, Armani, Versace, etc.
So you're likely wondering why only 3 stars? Impractical. The…More »

My review of this store is pretty much the same for all of the stores. I've been to 3 of them (Robson, Richmond and Metrotown) and this is the one I frequent the most. This is the only location where the mens and womens is in separate…More »

Not for me.
The store is nice. It is very clean, modern, and maybe a bit flashy. I can certainly see the appeal of this store to a lot of peeps, especially women. I think the price point for the stuff is similar to Banana, maybe a tad higher.

Located in the Hotel Vancouver, right next door to the Omega store. I've worked in the CBD all these years and have not walked into here in all this time.
Lots of stuff for women, and some of it was quite nice I must admit. Not that I looked very…More »
20. Tip Top Tailors
Have only made one purchase here. I got a Simon Carter French cuffed shirt (on sale of course). The shirt has a nice tapered fit. I would expect this from a Simon Carter design. Quality wise is where it falls down. The woven cloth was thin for…More »

I've walked through this store many, many, many times, because I like to walk along W. Broadway in the summer. My impression? This is not the store for me. There is nothing wrong with what they sell, except that I have not yet reached that age…More »

Not too sure what to make of this place. I've walked in and walked out several times because I did not like anything that I saw. I think the previous reviewer is correct. The selection is mediocre at best.
Maybe I'll give it another try on a sunny…More »
23. Banana Republic Factory Store
Tried to give it another chance today. Still didn't work.
The store was a mess. Everything was dishevelled and there was merchandise all over the place after being picked over. I don't think the staff can keep up with the amount of people traffic…More »
