Shopping
Roden Gray
October 5, 2008
The city’s stylish gents breathed a collective sigh of relief when Gastown favourite Roden Gray reopened in new Water Street digs months after shuttering the original Cambie Street store. The concept menswear boutique caters to the neighbourhood’s design-minded men with avant-garde offerings and an in-house personal shopper. Reclaimed Douglas fir logs and Omer Arbel lighting showcase menswear lines like Comme des Garçons, Rag & Bone, and nonnative. Local label Wings & Horn enjoys a place of pride on the racks; we love their short-sleeved cotton/linen blend Selvedge Shirt, with its simple stripes and careful tailoring ($210). It hardly seems fair to the boys, but they’ve recently started carrying a selection of lines (like T by Alexander Wang and Acne) for the fairer sex.
