Using their soft cotton and advanced dying procedures the Lacoste polo can take punishment and still feel great.

The V-Neck Pima cotton t-shirt as far as Walker 24 Menswear is one of the best t-shirts on the market, the Pima is ultra soft and maintain the softness after multiple washes. The cut of the t-shirt gives you a flattering look without being too long or too short. The V-Neck is not overly long and revealing allowing you to have confidence. Feel free to pair on with a sports jacket, jeans and wear out on the town.
​
Finally, the best kept secret the Lacoste Hooded Sweatshirt, this is just a t-shirt with long sleeves and hoodie. Its thin like a t-shirt but gives you the added benefit of having long sleeves and a hood for those cold evenings where you need a little extra comfy protection.

​Have you heard of Barbour? It had humble beginnings in 1894 in South Shields. It is a 5th generation family owned business and has developed a presence in over 40 countries. Barbour’s goal was is to fashionably meld the British Countryside with wit, grit and glamour to its fully functional clothing. They are primary know for their use of Wax cotton, which could be the longest standing relationship with this material.

What is wax cotton? It was developed for people that worked on fishing boats, dock workers, etc to keep them dry at times. The wax cotton was referred to as oilskin to describe how the fabric worked. However, due to the original design it caused the fabric to become stiff when very cold and it would turn a yellowish color. 

​With research and development during the 1930’s a new wax cotton was developed that infused cotton with paraffin which produced a highly resistant and softer than anything before it material. Over the years Barbour has expanded in the world of motorsport and was the premiere racing suit provider in Britain until they left the sport in 1977. They have also created shooting jackets and accessories for the modern sportsman. As time has marched on they have continually made technological improvements to all their products and the way in which they create them. 

Why buy a Barbour? They have been working with a great water proof material like Wax cotton for over 100 years, they are a family owned and operated company with quality at their forefront of values, get away from the boring looking Gortex plastic jackets and finally have something that if you take care of it will last a lifetime.
​
Now that you have taken some time to read about Barbour, I bet you are wondering what the heck do we have in our store for sale. Here is gallery of some  different styles we have in the store for purchase right now. However, nothing beats seeing a Barbour in real life. If you have any questions regarding Barbour or if there is a specific product you are looking don't hesitate to contact us. 

Thank you for taking the time to read about Barbour Jackets and History. 

Cheers!
Brett Walker

This Holiday season why not give the gift of comfort to someone that deserves it? 
​Who knew there would be a market for luxury men’s underwear? Well a few figured it out and now they are producing one of the most comfortable men’s underwear in the world. 2UNDR has a design, look and feel that works seamlessly to give you unparalleled comfort. This Holiday season why not give the gift of comfort to someone that deserves it? 

​The swing shift was the first style that was introduced by 2undr and it took over our store by storm. It gives the stability men are looking for but also the comfort and soft feel to match. 2UNDR comes in fun and creative designs or if the gentleman is more traditional, they come in solid colors as well. With a golf inspired theme, the swing shift model is great for all kinds of activates from work to playing the links. 

​The Night shift are a newer offering that combines both the world of swing shift with ultimate luxury. They have taken advanced luxury and technology to create a underwear that feels as if the wearer is riding on the clouds. The Nightshift have a new laser cut joey pouch and are paired with a micro-nylon waist band to give the wearer ultra comfort. They then developed a silky-smooth nylon/poly blend full fabric that not only is ultra comfortable but also maintains a comfortable dryness. 

2UNDR has a great creative collective for their underwear patterns. They came up with a great thought, hey why not put them on socks? The 2UNDR socks use a performance derived soft cotton, spandex and small percentage of elastane combined with a ribbed cuff to keep them up during the day but also to provide more arch support to your foot. These socks are sure to be a hit with anyone young or aged like a fine wine.

​The 2UNDR t-shirt was an idea to meld loungewear and workout wear together without compromises. They have been successful in the creation of a lightweight and breathable t-shirt. 2UNDR t-shirts use quick dry and low odor retention technology. They have also adopted a 4-way stretch fabric for impactful performance and excellent moisture transport. If you are looking for a great t-shirt as a gift or for someone special look no further than the 2UNDR t-shirts. (Colors come in Navy, White and Black, Navy not pictured)

​At Walker 24 Menswear we have a rule if you going to buy bags might as buy ones with high quality, a little flair and excitement. That’s why when we had an opportunity to get our hands one some of Bella Rock items from 2UNDR we jumped at it. The Bella Rock is collaboration with a Bella Coola artist to create this stunning and eye-catching design (It is also available in underwear and toiletry kit). Each item in store is limited to one as its always nice just getting something that is unique…especially at the air port. We have the roller bag, cooler backpack and duffle. Each with unique features and designs. If you or someone special are looking for a great gift for any occasion perhaps an interesting bag will do the trick. 

​This time of the year sometimes finding gifts for him can be hard. Especially if he is the kind of guy that already has everything, that he thinks he needs. Here are 5 gifts for him that might fill that blank. 

​If you are looking for a gift that will last a lifetime look no further the Tense watch. They have tons of unique designs, colors and innovations too choose from. They are made from 100% recycled or reclaimed wood right from our own B.C. back yard. They are powered by premium Rondo 6004D Swiss movements or Japanese Miyota watch movements. The best part is that they are constructed right here in B.C in their Vancouver workshop. Get that special someone a gift they can enjoy for years to come. 

​The Pantherella Cashmere Socks have been dubbed the “bad day socks”, we have all had that day where everything goes wrong from the first moment you get out of bed to the minute you get home. Sometimes you just want something to work and feel great therefore we have the Pantherella cashmere socks. Pantherella originated in Leicester, England in a family owned and operated factory. They have been making luxury socks since 1937. Oh man can they make a Cashmere sock, this is one of the softest and most luxurious socks we have seen. If you have a special guy in your life or heck just someone you think deserves to have something that can turn a bad day great then stop by and check out a pair. 

Time for an upgrade in the bag department? Guys like to hold onto their leather bags until they fall apart, which is great because as leather ages it gives you “the look”. Let’s face it though sometimes you must stick a fork in it because its done. That’s why we brought in a great selection of Piel Leather back that are made in Bogota, Columbia and South America. They use a full grain Vaquetta cowhide pared with superior craftsmanship makes for one heck of a bag. In store we offer a variety of unique and innovative designs from travelling to carrying a laptop. 

​Well we wanted an over the top gift for this year but not just any gift, something that would last a lifetime. Enter Mazzoleni Gloves, they have been made with the most luxurious deerskin leather and the most precise craftsmanship. The family owned business and factory in Bergamo, Italy is a place where luxury and style meld into these wonderful gloves. There philosophy is to never compromise their quality or materials used. That is why when you wear a pair of Mazzoleni gloves you can feel that they are the best of the best. Get that special someone that will keep them warm in luxury for those cold B.C. winter nights

​Who doesn’t like an epic hockey, football, baseball or Golf game. As part of our mission at Walker 24 Menswear we wanted to have a man cave. Therefore, we have a collection of autographed sports memorabilia in store for sale.
