If anyone is looking for a cobbler, I have tried the remaining award winning Canadian cobbler:

Timeless Shoe Repair - Thunder Bay Ontario

This is the last of the award winning Canadian cobblers that I am trying out: Martin Sugg of Timeless Shoe Repair in Thunder Bay Ontario. https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.4638836 https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.4272886 I have communicated with Martin a few times. He is very knowledgeable, patient, and...

His work is top notch. Was able to rebuild some vintage shoes and installed toe plates on the one pair. Once I get the shoes, I will post my own pics to show the detailed work.

Heading up to Toronto with my wife late summer for 4 days. Recommendations for Indian and Thai restaurants (staying downtown)? Thanks.

There are a million great Indian places in Little India, which is Gerrard Street East and Coxwell Avenue. But my favourite is Banjara, which is on Bloor Street near Christie.

I like Khao San Road (11 Charlotte St) and Pai (18 Duncan St.) for thai and Gandhi (554 Queen St W) for rotis.

 

[Bjorling]

Definitely Banjara (haven't been since the fire) and Lahore Tikka House.

For Thai, for sure Sukothai, the one on Parliament st. Again, haven't been in a while

I think these French youth from Paris have much better taste and creativity than those in Toronto, I think its more about their culture and upbringing more than anything else. I study youth culture to determine the future of nations and where to invest the next five, ten, twenty years down the road !



What would you conclude back then with this photo about the future state of the UK today ? ...LoL

Hey guys, the Holt Renfrew give-away sale has begun.

A few Canali suits for $350. Tonnes of cheap SCs from Brioni, Boglioli, Canali, etc...

Lots of cheap shoes (Church's, Heschung, Brioni, etc...).

Picked up a Canali suit for $563+ tax.

The pop-up store at 83 Bloor West now has dress shirts at 75% off.

The stock is depleted from a few weeks ago (which surprised me because the prices had been high) but I picked up some Finamore shirts at 148 ea.

Staff was more friendly than before but maybe that's because I was buying, not browsing.

Does anyone know where I can find alligator straps for watches? I’m looking to replace a Camille Fournet from years ago.

If anybody is driving in Toronto today: remember that you don't have to pay at parking meters, + rush hour & M-F restrictions are ignored.

Happy Canada Day, gents! Now excuse me while I go torture myself and study for my certification exam.

What kind of alterations are you looking to have done?

I simply needed the sides taken in a bit and add some shaping. I was able to ask John Ferrigamo to do it.

Hey guys,

Checked out a new tailor for alterations, and he did a good job on a sport coat.

Last Minute Alterations at 90 Yorkville.

$80 + tax to square the shoulders, shorten sleeves, and take in excess fabric in the back.

He's a 4th generation tailor (family's been in the business for 100 years). Does alterations for some of the stores in Yorkville (HR, BR, etc...).

Can he do handmade buttonholes?
