Kit and Ace, an upscale Canada-based retailer known for its technical apparel, has opened a flagship in Detroit. Located at 1449 Woodward Avenue in a historic Albert Kahn building, it is in the heart of Downtown.

This is the second Kit and Ace store to open in Detroit, which originally opened a small t-shirt store last year to build brand awareness before opening the flagship just last month. The store was founded in Vancouver, British Columbia in 2014 by Shannon and J.J. Wilson, the wife and son of Lululemon founder Chip Wilson.

The brand is trying to market its signature fabric, which is washable cashmere. There is everything from dresses and t-shirts, to jewelry and swimwear. The clothing is mainly aimed toward 20 to 30-year-old men and women and athletes. These clothes are for everyday life outside of the gym.

Kit and Ace is open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 6 p.m.
