Scotch and Soda; new to Canada

Scotch and Soda has newly emigrated to Canada from Amsterdam.

This store takes a European twist on American Varsity style that is very familiar to us from stores like American Eagle, Abercrombie and Holister.

The result is a grown up more sophisticated version of casual weekend wear that is age appropriate for those who have left post secondary education far behind.



Scotch & Soda is actually made of three brands, including mens, women's (Maison Scotch) and kids (Scotch Shrunk). Women's and Men's is carried at the first Scotch & Soda Toronto location at Sherway Gardens.



The clothes are definitely best fit for casual weekend wear. Somehow they make the ironic statement tee seem classy (or classier?).

Expect to see an abundance of cargo pants, cozy sweaters, henleys and jeans.



Although I am sure those in their teens and early 20's will shop here, the feel is a bit more grown up than that; I think someone in their late 20's and 30's would enjoy this store.

Prices are reflect the fact that the items are more sophisticated, expect to pay more for that statement tee.



There were some items that I was really drawn to; in particular the French inspired striped tees, the tiger striped sweater and woven tops.

There were even tunic style flannel tops similar to those most recently seen on Katie Holmes. There were also some beautiful vegetable dyed leather bomber jackets.



One of the things I noticed when I first walked into the Sherway Gardens Scotch & Soda was how similar the smell was to Abercombie. If you still love the collegiate look, but want to to better reflect your age and station in life I suggest taking a look at Scotch & Soda's Toronto store.

***Update for 2011; there is now a second store at the Eaton Center***
