You And Whose Army? is a lovely little shop tightly wedged within the streets of historical Gastown. YAWA carries one of my most favourite labels, Gsus Industries. Since the local Heaven’s Playground shuts its doors a few months prior, there are a dwindling number of retailers carrying up-to-season Gsus stock.
YAWA carries both men and woman’s pieces, and plenty of accessories for both. Items are priced reasonably, and if you ever are near when they are having a clear-out sale, absolutely grab what you can. The clothing lines carried are all funky street wear brands exported from London, New York and Montréal and will provide a spark for anyone’s at home collection.
The sales people are always friendly and offer their help while staying at a comfortable distance. There’s no over-the-top Future Shop style selling here. It’s all very relaxed and enjoyable. If you’re in the neighborhood, I would suggest keeping an eye out for their front display; the store’s most coveted coats and ensembles are usually displayed here.
Take a gander over to You And Whose Army…you just may find what you didn’t know you were looking at, and it just may be on sale!
