Check another solid menswear store off my list.
Yesterday I had the pleasure of spending 24 hours in Montreal and I took the opportunity to stop by Rooney in Old Montreal for a look around. The brand mix at Rooney reminds me a lot of Steven Alan Annex, and I mean that in the best possible way, Steven Alan is probably my most shopped store in New York. Browsing Rooney, I recognized almost every brand that was present but still was compelled by a lot of what I saw. The shop does a good job of mixing workwear from labels like Post Overalls, LVC and Universal Works with more European pieces from Our Legacy, MHL and Barena. Not to mention a solid selection of clothes and shoes from the quirky Mr. McNairy. It all results in an interesting selection of menswear staples and quality brands that are worth owning.
Rooney is something that every city needs, but is strangely something that most places don’t have. Every market no matter how big or small should have a store that can pull in the top 25-50 brands and present things in an interesting way. It is good to be in Montreal and see something that is at the same time both familiar and new. Worth a visit for sure.
Rooney | 95 Notre-Dame West #101 Montréal, QC, Canada, H2Y 1V2 | (514) 543-6234
Michael, you find the coolest fucking places.
I have nothing more to add.
love the look of the store – very cool
I’ve got a trip to Montreal scheduled for Bastille weekend and will certainly make a stop here, any other gems I shouldn’t miss as far as bars, restaurants or shops?
WOW
great shop, never knew about it and I am a Montrealer…
I love your blog, very informative
thanks for doing this
Best regards
And don’t forget the great customer service;
I made a late-night inquiry via-email in regard to the National Anthem sweatshirt I found on their site.
The owner, Alex, had an answer for me before I woke-up the next day. We discussed food and hockey in a series of e-mails that followed.
I ordered the sweatshirt and it’s been in heavy-rotation ever since.
Great experience.
Great post.
I visit Montreal about 6X a year and this shop is always a must-visit. A great stop on your stroll of Old Montreal. Good people.
Wish I had known about this place when we went last month. It looks fantastic. I was having a hard time finding menswear shops.
