Custom denim in Toronto

[farooqm]

Hey Guys,

I heard there was a custom denim shop in toronto on the west end (perhaps on queen)

Anyone know what the store is called? And any experiences having custom jeans made?

thanks.

there was something on this in a recent issue of toro magazine
i'll see if i can dig it up
i believe the prices started at around C$300

check out sydney's at 795 queen west. very friendly staff. they not only do custom selvedge but suits as well. the retail end of the store stocks lots of rag and bone but he's hoping to stock half the store with his own line. the owner formerly worked in the toronto film industry as a costume designer before apprenticing with a tailor before going off on his own. great looking store. his collection of antique tailoring shears is amazing.
