Goodlad
Vancouver men concept shop GOODLAD combines good coffee, men's clothing and hair cuts.
GOODLAD is a passion project of Shane Meier (who handles the clothes), Christopher Glenn (barber), and Mike Hong (coffee master).
Meier is a former actor and after having spent a number of years working in Los Angeles, he wanted to bring a unique men's shopping experience that he had enjoyed during his travels, back to Vancouver. "Adding the barbershop and coffee shop to the clothing concept was a 'no brainer'. Men want quality service quickly, so to be able to buy clothes, grab a drink and get a shave all in less than an hour makes for a pleasurable experience" a shop's release said.
The shop carries high-end men's denim as well as outerwear, Ts, sweaters, hoodies, socks, underwear, shorts, boots, and "endless apothecary". Brands include AG, Nudie, Kato, Canada Goose, Barbour, with smaller local brands like 18 Waits, Outclass, Viberg Boots, and Vancouver's own Reigning Champ and Wings and Horns rounding out the collections.
The team sources its coffee from West End Coffee Roasters and also offers Bullet Coffee, a high-octane blend of espresso, grass fed butter, coconut oil, and pure MCT oil.
Hair services, meanwhile, include cut and buzz cut; shave; beard trim; wash, blow dry, and style; and cleanup. "GOODLAD follows the 60/40 rule: 60% cut, 40% experience. Our clients aren't after a quick cut or an in and out astrosphere; they come to us for advice, community, an effortlessly cool vibe and experience that they really can't get elsewhere" Christopher Glenn said in the statement.
