Phil Miner is both a salesperson and made-to-measure guy at Duggers, and is excited by the fact local guys are dressing with style in mind for the first time in 20 years. “It’s about putting things together… consciously contrived. It’s going to make Halifax a lot more colourful.” Hugo Boss remains as popular as ever, along with brands such as French label Sacionable, Lacoste, Burberry, the “funky British stylings” of Ted Baker, and the Italian leather of Bellstaff, that used to clothe Steve McQueen in motorcycle gear and now offers more urban wear. D2 downstairs carries the more casual items, like forever-cool Diesel. 5476 Spring Garden, 425-2525
