GET TO KNOW OUR EXTENDED FAMILY...
Ed Williams
Ed has spent over 40 years in the clothing business, long enough to see paisley and tight pants go in and out of fashion 3 times over! Through his outgoing personality and passion for the business he has accumulated a loyal following of friends and customers.

Lowell Williams
Lowell has been around the clothing business for as long as he can remember, mostly thanks to his lack of knowledge regarding any child labour laws. As soon as he was old enough to collect allowance, nearly every penny of it went into buying clothes, and not much has changed. As you might have guessed, Lowell is Ed’s son and shares his father’s enthusiasm for fashion and retail. He hopes to pass on Ed's hard work ethic to his own two young sons through the same regiment of child labour.

Sterling Bacon
Sterling made Ed Williams Mens Wear his new home away from home after 18 years in the mens wear industry. He continues a mens wear tradition that started with his grandfather, Arnold Bacon of Stylemaster Slax. Sterling is a customer favourite due his fun loving attitude and great sense of humour.

Kieran Reece
Kieran is another fresh face at Ed Williams Mens Wear and excited to be a part of a family business so well established in the community. Kieran has spent the last three years working in mens wear while he trains to become a fire fighter. While he is at heart, a hero, Kieran spends his spare time studying the anatomy of birds from the South Pacific and collecting antique cufflinks.

Peter Dale
Peter has been in the menswear business for 10+ years, and is a self-admitted clothes horse - he loves buying clothes as much as he loves selling them. Peter is thrilled to be a part of family business and started at the store in 2016. When he's not at the store, he enjoy spending time outdoors with his real family, his wife and daughter, and is an avid Blue Jays fan.

Ron Robertson
Following a successful career in education, communications, and management – and after being recruited as a model for numerous charitable fashion shows – Ron decided to take the obvious next step and join the business of men’s fashion. Volunteer activities include being chair of the Lougheed House Conservation Society and being active with the Rotary Club of Calgary (Downtown). The new addition of Ron’s grandchildren have served to reinforce his family values. These very values have played a big role in why Ron enjoys working in a family run business.
