Good tailor in Vancouver? - Page 24

I'm a hold tailor ( Sarto) I fill so sed to see big company who do a fantastic job in ready make suit , miss respect to costumer and tailors to continue to sell a

M.T M or worst called SARTORIALE or Bespoke -   Sartoria was killed from the media and big manifacture  and from new reach who  buy lebols  without any test or knoledge what means  elegance or good work -  I not look for job - I give free to any one who need to kno what should aspect from a M.T.M .

 

For sure is not a M.T.M a suit  you  chose material ,style -  and than back to pik up the suit done.   THAT IS NOT A MADE TO MEASURE .

 

To day all manifacture do a very good job , they not need to chid in M.T.M --  So why not let the tailor do the M.T.M. and give the opportunity an ART back live.

 

  Regular posture I do reccomend go to ready make - Those who need M.T.M   are: Eccessive low shoulder,  Atletic figure  full chest  small waist,  Stout person , very hig shoulders ,  Tall   with long and small neck. Those posture wher  avery  stores  go  not matter if pay $1200.00   or $ 10.000. they ghet a terrible suit done, many time will be alterate.

Not let alterate the suit ask for refund + let they pay for your time  in to do that you not let be fullish and help  tailor .

The cippist tailor can do in  balance and siluette better than any big names in ready make ,including the best Italian lebols.

  The only place I strongly reccomend for Bespoke : Harry Rosen ,82 Bloor St    Toronto.

Hey styleforum,

 

I took a lot from the earlier posts and decided to pass on my newly purchased Hickey suit to Oakridge Tailors. I spoke to William and Joy there and they seem to be good people who know what they are doing. The finished result is yet to be seen.

 

While I have seen Hickey on GILT, I thought that it would be too great a risk to purchase it online. But when I went to the states, I found a Hickey 36S at Saks OFF 5TH store. It fit better than anything else they had there and overall is a slimmer cut for a size 36 (I usually fit size 34 suits quite well).

 

I took it to Oakridge Tailors today and they suggested to take in the back of the suit and to hem the pants. The quoted $60 for the work done on the back and $20 for the pant hem + tape.

 

 

They promised the suit back in 1.5 weeks. Fingers crossed!

Hi. If you like nex suit  try at Harry Rosen -- J.P.T. Samuelson suit --  SPECIAL ORDER -

Not go by measurment.  If in the store isin't Size 34" - put on a   36".

Ask the tailor to pin the suit how you like.

The sale pearson  mark  on the order all the changes: Sleeves & coat lenght, Half back. P.T.P, half waist jacket + all the detail regarding style.. Pant lengh, Waist, seat, crotch .

 

On pik up should be OK - if not ask for refund your money-

in summary Tai Pan Tailor is horrible.

I need a recommendation for a Tailor in Vancouver that could make a dress shirt. Can anyone suggest one?

 

Also what is the average cost of having a tailor custom make a dress shirt compared to purchasing one at a major retailer?

Any tailors that can work on a peacoat?

^ Will and Joy at Oakridge Tailors can do it.

I asked this a long time ago, but has anyone found someone that can do chainstitching in Vancouver or within Canada?

I recently picked up my first pair of custom trousers from Samson Wardrobes on Seymour.

 

The trousers fit perfectly, and the details I requested (high rise, fishtail back, slight break...) were just as I requested. The price was also very reasonable.

 

I will be going back and highly recommend this establishment.

Where can I go to get a crotch rip repaired?

24oz denim.

Is Albert's Tailor okay?
Can they take care of it?

I use Karman Tailor on Robson street. They're good but pricey. If it can wait, take it to Stitch Well in Burnaby - 7671 6th St, Burnaby, BC V3N 3M8
(778) 397-2062 . I got a bunch of dress shirts taken in for $12/shirt (body and sleeve).

Wondering if anyone knows about Blair Shapera - apparently he does bespoke at around 1500, as well as has a custom MTM line around 700 (fused, unfortunately). He is associated with the name Matz-Wozny - not sure if this is a brand of suiting or his own label?
I'm looking for a first suit, and while fused isn't somewhere I really want to go, for my first I'm on a bit of a budget (student life) and so heading up to 1500 for bespoke isn't comfortable.
Has anyone tried Blair Shapera out?

Oh, secondly, anyone know what happened to S. Lampman ltd? I've heard they're set up in Kerrisdale, and have some mean deals on MTM Samuelsohn - but their number (261-2750) is out of service. Have they gone under?

Pat Cocco did my wedding tux.  It's a beautiful garment and he's a nice man.  The work (which was a gift) wasn't cheap, though.  But he turned it around in record time and with a smile.  If you have the clams, and can make the hump out to Burnaby, I'd recommend him.

Hi..do you have contact info?

 

 

I hope more people start to realize the big differences from a realy M.T.M. suit.  Also people who by ready make    should start to thing about two things:

one the suit you where not matter what high lebole  is thousand people have the same suit,  ( in my time we call that uniform )

Second   the suit your buy not was done for a special store ,but big or small the store are the suit is the same, what make the difference is if they have a good tailor to do the alteration or not  and must important  be fitting from a tailor.

I've had them hem some suits from STP for me, and agree they are very nice to deal with. I had the same experience getting them to pin my sleeves and pants as short as I wanted, but once we got over the initial discussion (and once I cam back a second time and he could see that I really liked it that way) we were fine. I get the impression that most of his customers like sleeves and pants to be longer, no doubt the same with other tailors, so the occasional odd duck who wants a shorter hem is unusual.

Couple that with the fact that "too short" is hard to fix, if at all ... a tailor's reluctance to go 'short' right off the bat is understandable. The last thing they want is a disgruntled customer with a problem that is

1. of the customer's making due to his initial requests at the original fitting, and ...
2. which the customer does not realise, and ...
3. which is unfixable.

Yes. Lots of good work altering suits from the internet. They took in the sleeves of a "working button holes" suit from the shoulders, and did a good job of it.

Matz-Wozny is a custom tailor downtown. They get a lot of work making formal court attire for judges and lawyers, but no doubt can do other stuff too.
