Gold Lab – Two Angle was started in 1999, the collaboration of a NY designer and a French style house. Two Angle delivers two visions (hence the name!) NY street hip hop combined with Parisian flare.
For Spring, I loved their dropped cropped sweat shorts ($115) and motorcycle inspired sweatshirt ($95). If you’re going to go comfy casual, why not look good doing it?
And their denim utility shirt jacket is a steal at $95!

The winter jacket war continues in Toronto, between the Canada Goosers, the Moose Knucklers, and the endless number of jacket preferences in the city. Our clear winner is Moose Knuckles – it’s warm, down filled, fitted to his proportions, and has a sweet silver logo on the side (that beats a 25 cent patch any day). Read more about them here. Stand out from the crowd of geese and let his Moose Knuckle out!

I remember back in the spring, Melissa was raving about this new line she had ordered in for the Fall/Winter called Marshall Artist. Catchy name, I know. Reasonably priced, their workwear style pieces range from shirts and cardigans to sweaters and jackets. Expect lots of plaid, earth tones, and fine detailing. It’s also a layerer’s wet dream. Read more about them here and here. Cardigans and sweaters are $110 to $125, jackets are $195 to $295.

Don’t know their shirt size? You can always get them a one size fits all gift. Like a hat from Goorin Bros. Choose from a variety of styles such as fedoras, newsboy caps, and ball caps with the furry ears. And they’re affordable, ranging from $50-65 per chapeau. Need more photos? We’ve got ‘em.

The faded brown coloring on this is vintage inspired yet very current. The frame shape is modern yet incorporates the key hole bridge that has been around forever. In short this shade is a mix of old and new making it a great wear for cross generations of people.

If you’ve wondered which camera we’ve been using to take shots of the clothes for the past few months, you’re looking right at it. The Olympus PEN E-PL1 is a 12-megapixel digital SLR camera with detachable lenses. It’s slimmer than your average DSLR because it’s mirror-less, and is capable of taking high definition video. We even used it to film our Ask a Stylist segments. If you’re looking for a flawless, techie gift, this is the one.
The Olympus E-PL1 12.3MP digital camera gives you the power of a DSLR and the simplicity of a point-and-shoot. Stylishly-designed, this compact digital camera lets you toggle back and forth between capturing stills and taking video all with one finger. Olympus has image stabilization built right into the body of this digital camera so any of the interchangeable lenses will deliver blur-free images. iAuto mode automatically identifies what you’re shooting and adjusts settings for you to capture the best result depending on the situation.
Too much out of your price range? We saw this Digital Mix Master iPod Dock that looks like a 1980′s boombox for $69 (regular $119). Hot deal.

Tomorrow we’ll visit what makes The Socializer, and what kind of gifts you can get him!
Figures. I write a post on the new Marshall Artist product and the next day, even more of them arrive.
Cardigans and jackets from Marshall Artist have hit the Casual section shelves, showering us with greys, earth tones, leather accents, and slim fitting pieces that are ideal for layering. Cardigans are $110 to $125, jackets are $195 to $295, and the vest for $165.
Will Poho, for one, has come up with a line of parkas called Moose Knuckles, drawing, he says, from authentic Canadian symbols: moose for the animal and knuckles for the spirit of a hockey fight, with the humour of the brand name also being quintessentially Canadian. Any allusion to another meaning of moose knuckles, which is not printable in this newspaper, is also funny -and makes the name memorable, Poho said.
Poho, who thought he might call the parkas Canadian Heritage, acknowledged his debt to Canada Goose. “They’ve laid a claim,” he said. “They’ve given authenticity to Canadian-made parkas. It’s a cold country, so Canadians must make good parkas. The world has bought into that.”

 Michael – Goorin Hats ($55 to $65) An easy choice for Michael, since he’s the one who did the buying to bring the Goorin Hats in. It’s functional for both casual and formal wear and a good alternative as an every day hat. The knit hats are extremely warm and a great gift for its accessory price point. |

The black Varvatos shirt feels like your oldest, favourite shirt. In a washed baby corduroy, it includes detail on the zipper and epaulets. It’s also short enough to wear untucked. |
