I know many people come in off the cruise ships to this area, and as an American myself let me suggest that a fine shirt, accessory, or even a full suit do make fantastic and practical souvenirs from your travels.

Tucked away in the forgotten quarters of Barrington Place, I tend to forget about its existence, but its longevity and steady clientele prove it to be downtown destination. Names like Cambridge, Jack Victor, Cutter & Buck, Nautica, Bugatchi, Lipson, Klauss Bochler and Michael Kors are amongst its flavourful offerings, and its all quite clear that quality is priority. Not a spot for my own taste, but I understand Cowell's appeal for the right man or woman. Heavy prices are to be expected, but the large stocking of apparel is enough to take your mind off the logistics. Outerwear, basics, formal dresses and accessories, Colwell's does it all with the utmost class, and is certainly a spot to try if you're looking to sport this niche.

Ken, makes sure everything I wear fits perfectly! He's also quick to guide me as well "Chris this is not for you" and always has a better suggestion. His service, quality, attention to detail and great specials makes Pro Tailors a must try! Located in Bedford Place Mall, Bedford, NS. Thank you Ken and Lindsey for all you do!

They had just opened up a small shop on the harbourfront boardwalk the same week we were in town. Lucky for me, I tagged along on her shopping trip. The Lost Cod is a fantastic idea for Halifax, and it could work in any city. The logos from old Halifax and Nova Scotia companies are freshened up and can be applied to shirts and hoodies. The price is reasonable, the clothing's good quality, and the worst part is that you can't fit all of the old-timey business logos on just one shirt.

Lost Cod Clothing was very impressive. Their selection of designs was off the charts cool. On a…read morescale from 1 to 10 they are 1 trillion. I'm an electrical/power engineer and I had to get a t-shirt with the Nova Scotia Electric on it. They printed the logo on the shirt right in front of me with a hot press. Also, they don't just print on crappy material like most companies out there. They printed on high quality tees and you have the option of selecting what tee you would like. Although I did wish they had a few more V necks to choose from. I went to the shop that was on the Harbourfront Boardwalk, i'd love to check out their Queen's Landing location someday too. I also purchased a couple of awesome stickers with some classic Nova Scotia and Halifax in particular logos. They even threw one in on the house. That my friends, is how you retain business and grow your customers through satisfaction!! Thanks so much guys!

It doesn't hurt that they stock one of my favourite Canadian jewelry designers, as well as my 2nd love of life - Manitobah Moccasins. I own 3 pairs, I'm obsessed. Everything in the store is Canadian made, so no need to worry about spending your hard earned bucks on supporting local, because this store covers all those bases. Which brings me to the price. You're not going to walk in here and pick something up on a whim. No, you're going to carefully stock that very expensive coat, visit it often, until you just can't leave without it. Like how I'm going to do with that Biko necklace, earrings, bracelet.. you get the idea. I'm gonna creep the crap out of that jewelry until it finally comes home with me some payday Friday, when I carefully budget my pay cheque to cut out grocery shopping. So don't go in here thinking it's just another clothing store. You're paying for some Canadians dedication and hard work. You're supporting someone's passion and their dreams. I'd rather spend my money that way, I might end up spending more, but there is a different satisfaction with spending your money wisely. Plus the quality of products they sell here is top shelf!

Two levels - girls on the first floor, guys clothing on the second. They have a large record section upstairs with the guys clothing. The housewares is a little sparse (also upstairs) which is disappointing because that's some of my favourite stuff UO sells. It might be a little smaller than other UO you've been into, but since it's downtown on Barrington I think they were able to scored a large feeling retail space. Today was opening day so the staff was really friendly, and a little chaotic, but that's understandable. I'm sure in a couple weeks it will clam down.

We'd ask if we could try anything on and they'd be like "yeah just grab everything you want and you can go" no assistance required. Which is refreshing yet foreign because I'm used to there being an item limit and you can't go two people inside, etc. So I guess it depends on you if you enjoy this kind of service.

This is my go-to store for clothes - great styles and reasonable prices…read more There isn't a huge men's section at this store, but what they have is great, whether it's casual or business attire with great suits, dress shirts, ties and I even bought a tie bar here (bye bye floppy tie!). I'm a pretty lean guy so it's nice to find clothes that have a nice fit and aren't baggy on me, whether it's because of me being emaciated, or just the style of the clothing. I love that the clothes aren't covered in logos and in your face designs; good clothes will speak for themselves and have a timeless cut and colour. The staff is always quite helpful here. On my last visit, they held onto some bulky bags from another store I was carrying around and started a room for me while I picked out a few things. There's even a fridge with bottles of water for 75c if you're really exerting yourself in your clothing shopping!.... If you want to dress like a respectable man and not some sketchbag/other type of bag, and don't want to bust the bank doing so, hit up RW & Co!

The outlet line is not quite up to the same standard as the regular retail line Overall I was very pleased with my shopping experience. Don't go in expecting to be greeted immediately at the door and assisted throughout your entire shopping experience as you are at the BR flagship stores because it's not going to happen- it is an outlet after all. The quality of the outlet line is slightly lower than the flagship line, but still on par with Gap or better. I was able to put together several outfits in under 30 minutes and left feeling as though my time there had been well spent.

I am glad that it's an outlet, because not only are the prices really good, but I actually prefer their selection to that of the main store in the Shopping Center, which I feel is geared towards women about 15-20 years older than me. Being so close I've learned to wait for good sales and have scored some major deals.

Pauline Dickison of Lunenburg Nova Scotia specializes in creating durable and amazing looking bags made out of old sails. Each bag comes with a unique history about the comings and goings of specific ships and their sails. I highly recommend you read Pauline's story about how she came about her business: http://directory.southshorenow.ca/print.php?id=7247 I personally love my sail bag! My particular bag is made out of a previously used sail from SV Concordia; the sail training ship that went down off of Rio de Janeiro on February 17th, 2010. Neat history eh? I highly recommend making a trip to Lunenburg this summer to check out the Windbag Company or email Pauline ahead of time to see when she'll be at the Farmers Market.
