    The Ultimate Toronto Thread

    I am looking for my first pair of dress boots. To be worn with wool trousers and a sportcoat. I would like to try on in-store and ideally purchase from the same place. Budget is $500-600. Any recommendations of specific stores in Toronto?

    Crappy fit from BB MTM GF 3p suit? Update with Samuelsohn...

    I received my suit from Samuelsohn through HR but am not satisfied with the fit. I would share some fit pics but I have not taken any. The coat is simply too big and is currently at HR Yorkdale for alterations. Even after they are completed I doubt I will be satisfied. To be completely honest...

    Crappy fit from BB MTM GF 3p suit? Update with Samuelsohn...

    I am starting to think that MTM is not much better than OTR. Perhaps bespoke>>>>MTM>OTR. Given the SAs are doing the measurements there is always an inherent disconnect between them and the cutter/tailor. Especially at this price point I think we're getting screwed in Toronto. I had a...

    Interested. Has anyone had a S&M MTM suit done recently? (After the model 2 suit came out). OTR never seems to fit right in the shoulders. I would like to recommend mother of pearl cufflinks in your inventory Rick! As well, what is the current cost of a MTM suit?

    Interesting. There is only a wide peak lapel (3.25") option with Indochino. Though this may have the opposite effect and draw more attention to the shoulders?

    Good Natured Advice Thread (improving a business wardrobe)

    Though the other responses were still helpful, this is more along the lines of what I was looking for. The shoulders probably appear wide due to the jacket's structure/padding. If anything, the jacket's shoulder measurement is a bit small; my lateral delts are actually pushing beyond the...

    Very true. However the decision to go online mtm was not mine but the groom's. Now I'm simply trying to make the best out of the situation.

    No this is a remake. However, it is still not where I would like it. I will be getting another remake and am essentially looking for any possible improvements from the SF gods which I can convey to indochino's remake department.

    Good Natured Advice Thread (improving a business wardrobe)

    Thank you for your insight. This is online MTM for a groom's party so the jacket would be completely remade. The question is more so would dropping the button stance and increasing overall length improve the fit? I have tried to address the shoulder divoting but at this pricepoint, I doubt...

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    X post from the business wardrobe thread. Please excuse the unhemmed trousers. Among a few small changes, I will be having the button stance dropped 0.75" and jacket lengthened 0.75". Thoughts? Should I stick to 0.5" changes? For reference I am 5'6", 145lbs.

    Excluding technical details about the jacket, what do you Think is wrong with it? Others can chime in as well. I feel the body is fine, though it could use more waist suppression. My biggest issue is probably the sleeves. Here is another picture.
