I’d love to shop at peter’s friends store but I’m not into plaid or the hipster look. The prices don’t bother me.
I’d also mention I’ve tried to shop at gravity Pope and found their service was subpar, even snobby. They also didn’t seem to stock a lot of local goods. They were priced like a high end boutique though.
On the other hand, I’ve always love the source. Even if I’m no longer their target demographic.
However I’m interested in locally made casual men’s clothing. Camp brand looks neat.
Also +1 for banking locally. Credit union for life!

Happy to hear you like the Source. Less17, derived from them. I don't even think they have any plaid. But, premium, high quality garments, they certainly do.
What the aim of this thread, is not is dodgy. There are no nefarious, undertones here. The aim is to support the local economy. It's not rocket appliances, for anyone in this thread, to be able to find better products online/not-in-YYC.
If you'd like to take the discussion into buying locally vs cheaper alternatives, elsewhere -- please fill your boots. It submarines the intent of this thread.
