mervmatsui

Mervmatsui is the kind of spot you hope no one else finds out about. Tucked into a quiet stretch of Van Horne, this Outremont boutique keeps things simple: mostly menswear, all secondhand, all solid. The racks lean into utility—workwear, military surplus, 90s streetwear, heavyweight cardigans, the occasional Barbour jacket—with prices that rarely breach $100. It’s the opposite of fast fashion: every piece feels considered, even if it’s rugged. Owner Todd Willis runs the place with a no-fuss attitude, ready to talk shop or take note if you’re on the hunt for something specific. It’s curated without being precious, and that balance—between taste and practicality—is what keeps locals coming back. Whether you’re after a sturdy overshirt or something to warm up your apartment’s aesthetic, Mervmatsui delivers the goods with quiet confidence.
