Scotch & Soda

not all shops are for the sheep markets. this brand is a lot better designed ultra hipster cool in Amsterdam and not for old men. in fact its designed mostly for cool ultra sleek european type men or youth who are fit and slim, and the occasional old guy who wants to be retro cool with something different.
sleek cool organic gentleman farmer outside of Amsterdam — or in vermont — connecticut, update nyc, nappa california — meets über chic.
the adults mens line is not old man cool, its sophisticated and its pricey, wait until you pay the prices at their London store or the flagship store in Amsterdam.
and speaking of store designs look at those online.
the kids clothe line is exceptional and they keep winning prestigious awards for it, and mostly their made to last. however my buttons have fallen off some of the items i own from them so they need repairs. i should say these are deign flaws or I’m to heavy now.
as well, the look feel good on you and its very soft and ultra cool factor. if you dress in this line your not wearing sellers, the bay, lowballs joe fresh, American apparel, winners, or H.
in fact your most likely shopping at at holt renfrew or neiman marcus and independent designers on cool addressed streets, selling their indie label brands.
ok its not HEDI Sleiman, its not Tory Birch women’s, its not the super high end ultra über cool Norwegian, Denmark, other Dutch, adult and kids lines that are very pricey.
like BLUE WILLI.
i dont usually go to malls, hardly ever, so perhaps the shop is out of place.
i don’t know, its looks super cool and european to me, and its refreshing that monotonous neo classic boring and suppressed Toronto gets a euro lift now and again

Near one of the entrances to the Sherway mall is a fairly stodgey looking store with the name of Scotch & Soda. Dark panelling and a colour palette that is reminescent of olde English farm wear, I often passed by this thinking it’s an old man store. I was right and wrong about that. It’s not only for men, woman can find clothing here too in this store but the cut and colours are definitely old man!
The service here is nearly non-​existence except the eye of one young lovely female associate. She’s cheerful and bright… possibly the only bright thing in the store. She’s clearly not the store’s demographics and what’s she doing here… I’m not sure.
Anyhow, the clothing quality is actually quite nice but then again, you’re paying quite a big penny for it. Heavy weight fabrics sewn nicely… refreshing change except (repeating the mantra) it’s made for an old man. Perhaps the naming convention of Scotch & Soda is apt but from what I do remember of a few swanky bar visits, scotch is also the new rich stylish man’s choice of drink. Perhaps the store owner and manager need to look at HR nearby and get a better feel of what Scotch & Soda should be like!
