Rick,

I was looking at some of the MTM fabrics from a few months ago. I am looking to have a mid-blue summer suit made up like the shade below:

How close to this shade is the below in real life? Do you have any of this left?

Medium Blue Sharkskin - 10005 169/5
Super 110's - 265 gsm

@spiermackay Is there anyway to take advantage of the Warehouse sale online or by phone?

Not really unfortunately. A lot of the merchandise is not online. It's a cash and carry deal as well. We can't put resources to picking/packing orders for this.

The only reason we put the email blast out to everyone is that we have a lot of customers who are not from the Toronto area who are constantly passing through. Gives them an opportunity if they are in the area.

That Mashburn suit is fantastic. The colour on my monitor is pretty close to reality. It's not as bright as the Mashburn, but it certainly is brighter and lighter than a navy.

I saw you mention things coming in 48, will that include 48L by chance?

no L on this round. We are just introducing the 48 in limited stock to see how the overall fit works. After we get that feedback, we'll roll out L sizes.

Here are 5 fabrics of the 24 new suits for fall.

From left to right: Indigo puppytooth, charcoal gray overcheck, azure blue POW, denim blue speckled (not showing up properly in the image, but has flecks of red in it), charcoal gray speckled solid (tweed look, but not as heavy)

Nice looking options!

Would still love to see you offer swatches or a fabric book for your OTR fabrics. It would be awesome to see the fabric in person and handle it.

There is a wool/cashmere herringbone in a lighter gray that has a "tweed" look, but is not tweed. That is the closest I know at the moment.

Good idea. We've looked into that but nothing concrete at the moment. You can request swatches, if we have stock in the warehouse and we can spare a cutting, we can send it. Sometimes we have a metre lying around that we can cut from. Sometimes we have a 10" x 10" cutting, which we can't.

Not really. Just doing some spring cleaning of samples, seconds, overstocks and odds/ends. Pretty much everything is out.

There are some really beautiful sporstcoats in odd sizes with interesting features. I would recommend anyone to visit and try your luck. Makes me wish I was more of an average sized man.
