Hadio doesn’t rely on polish to make its mark—it’s built its name on volume, value, and vintage denim that keeps Montrealers coming back. Located near Mont-Royal and St-Denis, this decades-strong secondhand store leans heavy on classics: faded Levi’s, rugged Carhartt, old-school overalls, and a wall’s worth of grandpa sweaters and band tees. While it may look like chaos at first glance, the shop is impressively organized by category, with flat-rate pricing that makes thrifting feel straightforward. Yes, some pieces are marked up, but others are a steal, and the high turnover means the racks stay fresh. There’s also a solid stash of patches for anyone looking to customize. The vibe is community-first, resale-second, with staff who trade jokes as readily as they ring up sales. Open since 1991 and still resisting the urge to sell out, Hadio is a reminder that fashion revolutions don’t always start on runways—they often hang from $5 hangers.
