Back to the Future

Now at Leo.
Gitman Bros. is an American heritage brand founded in 1948. Located in Pennsylvania, Gitman is one of the last remaining fine shirt makers in the USA. With the Gitman Vintage label they have reintroduced their favorite fabrics and design details from the past. In fact for SS10, they have referenced their own 1984 collection, with button down collars, box pleats and colorful plaids.    


Effortless Dressing


Since 1997, Velour has created their signature "feelgood preppy" style, by reinventing classic cuts in fresh fabrics and colours. For the men this spring/summer, we focused on their oxfords, checks, chinos and denim shorts.  Also we are introducing the women's collection, with effortless dresses in washed cotton and chambray. Check out the collection here.

Covet This



Proving green can be fashionable...
Covet incorporates organic and sustainable fibers, such as Bamboo, Organic Cotton and Soy into their collection without sacrificing that edge.
We love this Canadian label for it's relaxed yet sophisticated style. 

Preloved



With Earth Day on it's way, we thought we would profile Preloved. This Canadian success story has been doing "eco" before "eco" was in. Each of it's one of a kind pieces are created entirely of reclaimed clothing and made in Toronto. Check out this pilot for an upcoming reality show about the company, featuring owner Julia Grieve and creative director Peter Friesen. We love you guys!

Retro Futuristic



Those Italian boys at SUPER are at it again
After re-living the excesses of th 80's they have decided to "embrace essentialism and minimalism" (their words not mine).
They have introduced the W, inspired by late 70's Italian design; it is the new "classic shape of the future".
Also new, the Andrea is a fresh take on their flat top with the bottom acetate cut away.

Other news is their "Summer Safari" acetates which take the tortoise colors up a level.

See them all at Leo now!
