​So you want a jacket that is uniquely water proof that is not made of some type of plastic, has some warmth and even looks good? What do you get? Well we had the same question and years ago my father (Doug Walker) managed to answer that question for me (Brett Walker). He bought me a wax cotton also known as a oilskin jacket from Barbour. I still have it and it looks great! (Pictured to the Right, could use a rewaxing after 10 years)

At Walker 24 Menswear Doug Walker, who first bought me my Barbour Jacket managed to get a hold of Barbour and we have been carrying Barbour for the past few months. It’s the old story once you get to know a great item you should let the world know. 

Below is the brief history of Barbour and some of the products we have in stock. 

​Got to love the wet Vancouver Island cold. With the winter continually closing in all around Vancouver Island, it is almost time to hit the slope or start those winter out door activates. So why not get the gift of pure comfort, the patented Joey pouch construction combined with a cotton-bamboo blend creates a luxurious feel. Works great for play or just lounging around. 

There is always a question I get about the store, “How do you choose your product?” Well the truth is that I do it much like our customers choose their purchases. I do it through 99% emotions but I do have to leave a little 1% for logic.

Which brings me to the K-Swiss Classico, it is a sneaker the embodies exactly what I was looking for in a casual but upper scale sneaker. K-Swiss as a brand has been changing from the moment we brought it into the store which, the once mainstream sneakers have faded into the boutique limelight, which I feel has given the brand a now exciting hurdle back into the fashion sneaker world. From this season and into the next fall season K-Swiss is bring new and exciting product to global sneaker market. 

However we are going to stay in the moment and focus on the Classcio. This sneaker has taken styling from high-end European brands like Common Projects and made it available at a excellent price. The material is first class and the craftsmanship is exactly at the level I expected when placed the original order for these sneakers. They are manufactured in Portugal with a durable and soft leather and combined with plenty of cushioning. The inserts are easily removable, which gives those of us that have orthopedics accessibility to add them with ease.  The laces are fastened with metal eyelets that add a extra luxury feature to the Classico. I managed to pick up 3 distinct colors, white, light grey and black. Each color I felt could be combined with a variation of outfits and can be absorbed easily into any personnel collection.
