Our Mission
Man of Distinction is the first of the Mens stores for owner Kristin Halpape - following in the distinguished footsteps of two successful ladies consignment stores. The first of the two stores launched in Okotoks, AB in 2005 - Rhoda's Elegance...Again. The second opened its doors in 2012 in the spot Man of Distinction Calgary resides today. After an opportunity to expand the woman's store, Expressions Ladies Consignment moved just a few doors down.

What do you carry?
All brands, sizes, styles are welcomed - however, we do try to stock the store with styles that are more fashionable and items we know will sell.

Shoes, belts, ties, sweaters, shirts, pants, jeans, jewelry, hats, etc. We carry small through to larger sizes.
We have a diverse understanding of our client base and are very familiar with the brands and sizes that sell most often, our team will give preference to these items. We also take into consideration our store stock and may not accept items we have an abundance of.
We're social
