After reading countless threads, I have decided to improve my wardrobe with quality pieces, but I need some advice in areas.
*NOTE* I am in no immediate rush to make any purchases - more of an update over time.
Also I live in Toronto
Suits:
What would be a better option: Buy OTR Canali, E. Zegna or other quality suits and get them tailored, or go to a MTM or bespoke tailor. If OTR, should I shop around in Toronto, or make a trip to the states? If MTM or bespoke, who? I've researched many Toronto tailors, is there anyone that stands out to you?
Shirts:
I think I've decided to go the route or MTM or bespoke. My question is, would you recommend an online tailor like MyTailor where the shirts can come a little cheaper, or go in person, where they personally measure you, but it's a little more pricey?
Trousers:
Trousers are my obsession! I think I will go bespoke or MTM. My question is, is it possible to attain a no break hem where my pants wont be rising up whenever I walk? Do I need to taper the trouser leg opening to a smaller size? What size?
Shoes:
I'm looking for a pair of black Oxford's and a pair of brown ones. I've heard good recommendations for Alden's and Allen Edmonds. Thoughts?
I know these are pretty open ended questions, but any advice, thoughts or tips would be helpful!
