Klaxon Howl – A time capsule of vintage military and motorcycle apparel
by Logan Steele · Leave a Comment
From the mind of Matt Robinson (one half of the dynamite duo that brought us, Delphic) comes a time capsule of vintage military and motorcycle apparel better known as, Klaxon Howl. Once again Matt’s keen eye for style lends itself to some unbelievable pieces dating back to World Wars I & II, Korean and Vietnam. Along with some super rare Belstaff waxed cotton treasures and vintage Japanese denim (just for starters). This boutique is definitely for that desirous collector and novel seeker. I love this store!

A Good Kind of Flash Back
by Logan Steele · Leave a Comment
In these stressful economic times, in which recreational spending has become sparse and indulgence frowned upon. Aren’t you glad we can always just go and buy vintage? I mean how bad can you feel knowing that you just bought a used designer leather coat for thirty bucks and a quirky novelty throw-back rock-tee for ten? If you have an eye for it you can find whatever you want. What is it that is said, “one man’s trash…”. In my honest opinion, out of all the numerous vintage shops in our world famous Kensington Market, Flash Back would have to appear at the top of my list. Now all you other merchants don’t get all bent out of shape. This neighbourhood nook indisputably hosts some of the best vintage finds in the city, period.
Vintage Depot also comes to mind as a great spot with an amazing selection for those who enjoy the hunt. Planet Aid also comes highly recommended (I once bought an unbelievable Christian Dior, wide width, brown paisley woven neck tie there, that’s “the dog’s bollocks!”) and the cool thing is that a portion of their proceeds goes towards various charitable organizations. How could you possibly feel guilty for shopping there? And, the list goes on and on. I encourage one and all to see what this market place of food, culture and vintage bounty has to offer. But what I’m saying is, while you are there, definitely check out Flash Back.
Located less than a quarter block north off Dundas Street on Kensington Ave. Flash Back stands alone amongst some of the best finds is the Toronto area. Its variety and constant new arrivals of great conditioned unique garments make this shop a must stop. The owner, if you are lucky enough to have him there while you are perusing, is a plethora of information and is always willing to take you through his stock to help you find the preloved treasure you a looking for. I must say his passion for fashion gets contagious. Their denim and leather selection can’t be matched. They have some of the largest selection of military and military inspired apparel around. Not counting The Army Surplus, of coarse.
Personally, I used to go there to hunt for rock-tees, belts and belt buckles. If you make your way to the back of the store which could be intimidating just by the sheer volume of merchandise back there. You are greeted by racks and mounds of clothing, bags, shoes, hats etc. You honestly need an hour just to go through the hidden gems in the back room alone. Their large array of jackets has something for every taste – varsity, leather, canvas, motorcycle… they house them all in this fifteen hundred square foot space. And, most importantly the prices at this retro retailer are always beyond reasonable. This is the one flash back that won’t leave you feeling sketched out.

Cheap Furniture Toronto

Moving to London, United Kingdom, Toronto, Canada?
Hello … currently living in Toronto, Canada, and I try to move London, UK – Uni to go to the University of London. I know he is really "different" than as a way of life and all that … but I'm looking for what to expect? Where is the CHEAPEST area / neighborhood to rent an apartment (I live in the "bad" in Toronto yet, so I'm not concerned about security) – Something cheaper yet. Am I in a big culture shock? Is it possible to move the furniture there? In general, what is life there? Thank you in advance for your help …
all parts of London are expensive and should expect to pay about 150 to 200 per week for a basic standard of living .. The night is good, but an expensive place to live. Life is like across its what we do. It would be better to try to find an apartment in the suburbs of London and travel would be cheaper.
