Where to go for nice men's clothing in Montreal?
I plan on heading to Montreal soon to look for some clothes. Not looking for H&M or Banana Republic or anything I can find here (Ottawa). Any smaller boutiques that aren't insanely cost-prohibitive would be great.
I'm looking for great blazers, ties, shirts, pants, but not suits. I'm good for suits. I wear a suit at work and am looking for clothing for all other times. Any thoughts?

Also, if you're near the Plateau, Factorie might be worth a look. They're more casual, but they have cool pieces, and the owner will usually haggle and give you a discount.
Nearby, there are other boutiques along Mont-Royal and also St. Laurent.

You might like Simons, on Sainte-Catherine corner Metcalfe. They have a pretty good selection of clothing for men, including a good house brand (Le trente et un).
Otherwise, there's Boutique Mens on De Maisonneuve and Stanley, more expensive stuff but a really good selection. Les Cours Mont-Royal (at Peel metro) are also a good place to shop, with a few smaller stores that carry local brands.
If you want more unique Montreal-type, check out local designer Philippe Dubuc (his store is at 4451 Rue Saint Denis). There's some interesting nice-casual stuff there, and not too expensive for a local designer.

Seconding Simons, it's exactly what you're looking for. Also take a walk one block west to les Cours Mont-Royal, it has Club Monaco, Matinnique and merchants along those lines. It might be hard to find for those not familiar to the area, it's behind the American Eagle and Roots.

They have a store (the only one in Canada, I believe) at Maisonneuve and Peel. Their clothes aren't cheap, but they are excellent - similar to BR and H&M but a large step up in style and quality.
I would spend all of my money there if I could.
