Montreal is a gem of a city. Culturally it is outstanding with deep roots that shine through with it’s amazing food, museums and overall style. A favourite menswear store of mine is Rooney located on 395 Rue Notre-Dame Ouest in Old Montreal. The select offerings are set in a relaxing and well curated space. The product is minimal but well thought out. They offer brands such as Mark McNairy, Gitman Vintage, Saturdays Surf NYC, Our Legacy, The Hill Side, and Post Overall plus much more. When speaking with the owner his passion and love of the store was evident as he gave me the tour and explained the nuances of his products, right down to his thought process behind the customization of the soles for the Mark McNairy’s. The items shown below are a few that I found I needed in my wardrobe, however if money was of no concern I would be coming home with a lot more. If you don’t have the time to go into the physical store check out the online shop, the entire store is available and they offer free shipping in Canada (amazing right?). Much Love from Montreal and a big thank you to my amazing girlfriend for helping me out with the in-store photography and putting up with my multiple visits to the shop. See you soon - DG
