    Custom Suiting Toronto

    Does anyone have any thoughts or experience with Trend Custom Tailors? Seems super artisanal, but some of the pics look like they have egregious collar gaps.

    Custom Suiting Toronto

    Not sure what current prices are, but I would have thought that, depending on tier, Samuelsohn / Canali is within the same ballpark as Sebastian's semi-bespoke, in terms of price point? If that is the case, why would anyone go with the MTM option, or is there something about those offerings...

    Custom Suiting Toronto

    Does anyone have a running list of the top: (1) bespoke; and (2) MTM shops in Toronto now that we are fully post-pandemic? I tried looking for Brenton & Co but unfortunately, they appear to have closed up shop.

    Official Wedding Attire Question/Answer/Picture Thread

    Hi all, Been agonizing over attire for myself (groom) and my groomsmen. The wedding is outdoors in summer at a farm. So a sort of countryside wedding. The feel is fairly casual, rustic. Colours are smoke grey, sage green, and peach. I am thinking of wearing a grey suit, possibly 3 piece. I am...

    The Watch Appreciation Thread (Reviews and Photos of Men's Timepieces by Rolex, Patek Philippe, Brei

    Is this watch too casual to be worn with a suit? As a lawyer?

    Shoe Trees Too Big?

    I wear Allen Edmonds 5-lasts in size 11.5 B (narrow). I use Nordstrom cedar shoe trees in size Large (as per both AE and Nordstrom size charts). However, I’ve found that these shoe trees stretch out the leather in a strange way, almost deforming the shoe upper on the sides, where the shoe hole...

    Lawyer: Build My Wardrobe

     Thanks—I'll probably throw some Sam Hober into the mix and build in gradually. Any recommendations for ties at a more accessible price point, beyond Tie Bar?

    Lawyer: Build My Wardrobe

     It's suits everyday, except for "casual" Friday, which at my firm, is still quite conservative (i.e., jeans are pushing it, unlike some other firms). Fascinating that New York firms are business casual. Thanks for all the helpful replies. I see the Sam Hober recommendations. I was under...

    Lawyer: Build My Wardrobe

     Is $5000 reasonable? I already have what I think to be some staples, but would like to see how you would build it. I work in a major Canadian city, but I'm planning to stop by NYC in the near future and will shop then.

    Lawyer: Build My Wardrobe

    This could be fun, especially for those in the know or in similar industries. Context: starting junior lawyer at BigLaw firm. Would welcome your ideas about how to build a functional work wardrobe that can last the week (or longer!). Include: item of clothing (e.g., blue dress shirt)...

    Suitsupply NYC

     Go for the notched lapels. My impression is that peak lapels may not be appropriate for the office. My only experience is with Napoli, which is good. I hear the Sienna is slimmer, but have yet to try. As for the material, only 100% wool. Nothing higher than Super 120s.

    Suitsupply NYC

     Yes, my arms are too long for the 36. I've had Suitsupply MTM done before on their low-end blue line ($649), based on the Napoli. I was fairly satisfied but for a little collar gap that persists. I'm looking for another suit now in a different colour, and I don't want to get yet another...

     Unfortunately, OTR is a no-go b/c of the surgeon's cuffs. Any better suggestions for in-person MTM in the sub-$1000 range?
