Amazing barbershop!!! Mak and Tom give great cuts and just absolute legends. The clothes they sell are out of this world too - with just as outstanding service from Izzy and Cam!!! Epic "outfit"

Mint spot. Got a cut from apprentice Cam who did a great job. He got my mess of a Barnet looking sharp before taking direction from the experienced barbers and finishing up.

All of the barbers are great and they stock some of the coolest and best made clothes in the country. They've been cutting my hair since 2022 and will be coming back for as long as I can.

Quality goods & custom cuts. We're so proud of Tom & Nat for what they've put together @thatwasthenwgtn & @thatwasthenbarbershop on Lombard Lane. With a mission to fill the void of quality menswear in the Welly fashion market by curating from local & international quality brands, the emphasis here is timeless fashion that's built to last. Workwear for everyday (Red Wings, Sunray & TSPTR), military styling (Buzz Rickson's & Rogue Territory), selvedge denim (Samurai & Sugar Cane) & quality grooming products (Cut Throat & Layrite). Featuring a massive store mural by @juse1ts, utilitarian styling & fitout by @themerrygoroundstore, beaut design by @injectdesign, there's a lot to like here. Plus, Tom's an excellent barber!

Absolutely awesome clothing not found elsewhere in Wellington, or NZ for that matter. Great aesthetic and great cuts - can't wait to see what other clothing comes through the door! Cute dog too!
