While it's no secret how much we admire the Arc'teryx Veilance brand, it's still nice to see such a well-executed look behind the scenes of the Vancouver based company. Produced by Haven, as part of their ongoing Dialogue series, the film features the thoughts and insight of Veilance's head designer Conroy Nachtigall.

Worn as an outer or between layers, an overshirt is always a useful item to have around, especially on cold or windy days. This Stone Island version is particularly good as it combines a cotton twill face with a lightly quilted core, ensuring it's as subtle as it is functional.

A classic, easy to wear piece from the Fall-Winter '12 Levi's Vintage Clothing collection, these shirts have just arrived at Haven, along with a selection of other items from the brand. Simplicity is the key with these, as well as good fabric and colour choices, and the use of shell buttons to add some contrast.

I'm going to have try one of these shirts on before I can say its too good, but the idea is interesting, the fabric choices are nice and we already known CYC make a very good product. Haven teamed up with Vancouver's Reigning Champ to make these raglan sleeve BD shirts in a handful of fabrics. The design looks clean enough, the selvedge lines look great, triple track stitching looks tough, but again, needs to be tried on I think.

—01. From Bedwin's "Rusholme Ruffians" collection
—02. Contrast pattern on collar's reverse
—03. Cuff lining detail
A navy sport coat is something of a staple in most wardrobes and a nice light-weight version is especially valuable this time of the year. By nature, the garment is something that can mix and pair up well with virtually everything with little or no effort — so it's the details in the "Johnny" Jacket, from Japanese label Bedwin, that make it so appealing. The pattern on the back of the collar and at the cuff are prime examples. Both great if you're wearing it a little more casually, or as a layer. Similar to songs by The Smiths, as this collection was named after, the brushed cotton jacket looks subtle enough at first but upon further inspection is filled with character.

Back in December Arthur and Daniel Chmielewski, the brothers behind Haven, opened their second shop here in Vancouver. We're always fascinated by build outs and excited at the prospect of some of our favourite clothing lines being more accessible to us, so we tried to get in and document the process as best we could. Admittedly, our journalism wasn't in top form as we weren't there from the beginning when the 'story broke' so we missed the early stages of the build out but we did manage to catch some of it. From nothing into something, the new shop is a diamond in the rough. Inspired by some of the Japanese lines they carry, the intimate shop design and unique space is one of the best new shops in recent memory. To go along with it, the shop will house some new, exclusive brands to the Haven brand in the near future... Read more about Haven and their new shop in ReViewed section of the website here.
