Opinion needed on MTM in Toronto - Page 8

Mod, can you please help me delete previous post. Issue's been resolved.

And to be fair, the suit was great.

Most unfortunate they decided to cancel - apparently for lack of interest.

For anyone posting here who is potentially interested, please email them to register your interest, and maybe we can get them here in December.

Did Fifth on King went under? I don't see their store anymore.

Fifth on King has moved to a much larger and better location and is know known as Garrison Bespoke.

Garrison Bespoke (http://garrisonbespoke.com)
26 Wellington Street East, Toronto

cool, but why did they changed their name??? New owners?

Well they were no longer at 5 King Street East so "Fifth on King" wouldn't make sense anymore.....

Checked out Garrison/fifth on king the other day, must say, really nice atmosphere, a bit bigger and nicely designed. I think they might of expanded the cloth selections from before.

Anyone has a picture of their commissioned suit from Raji?

In this very thread...

i recently got two suits mtm from gotstyle in toronto. aside from a mix up on the vents i wanted i was thrilled with the results. very slim fit compared to other mtm i own. decent selection of fabrics imo. suits made in canada. sadly, there are being sent back because tailor put no vents on jackets but i almost left the store with them because the felt so perfectely fitted! i will post pics when i get suits back.

I'd be interested to see how they accomplish the addition of vents on your suits. Typically, there isn't (enough) material to create vents (center or side) from a no vent suit...

no addition - the jackets are going to be made again.

i pass by the new got style location in toronto on my way home from work all the time and always find they carry some great stuff on a more modern tip. my only issue is the prices. especially now w/ the proliferation of asian-based MTM and online ordering sites, I have difficulty w/ the idea that $700-800 for a half-canvased suit/fused suit is a good price, or $150 for a dress shirt is a good shake. they often have a for MTM suit, shirt and tie for $1000. at first glance it appears to be a great price. the suit is half-canvased, basically altered to fit your body, and their shirts/ties are off the rack, but of very good quality. im curious how this deal compares to say a $500 thick as thieves suit (im close to ordering one of these out of curiosity) a $120 moderntailor shirt (just ordered my first one, decent, but it was a $50 shirt) and a tie from a bargain basement spot like tiedeals or somethin as such. $500 + $120 + $80= $700 even if you went delux on the suit for $50 more and the shirt for say $20 and $30 to get a kiton 7 fold= $800 is it worth it? there is the ease of just walking into a store and getting set up, but people go much farther to save a $200-300 these days. and i suspect you get a better suit out of it.

MTM does not equal MTM. Do you like the general cut? the styling options? the available cloth? the workmanship? the time it takes till delivery? the overall process? All things being equal, if you're into DIY measurements, sure, save a few bucks. If you buy from a store, there is a good chance that they know how to take measurements (if they do it all the time, that is, as opposed to twice a year), and will eat the suit if they mess it up somehow. If you get a TaT suit and something needs to be adjusted, you pay for the alterations, whereas a store MTM would usually include additional alterations. Just a few things to consider.

Any thoughts on them? I was told that all their suits are bespoke and made in Toronto... there was a tailor in the back room, but the majority of work was done in another Toronto facility.
