The Ultimate Toronto Thread

[Chambertin]

I was just there. There are indeed Corneliani shirts, in a wide range of sizes as well as a few other Corneliani items (saw a suit, overcoats). Everything else is not SF-approved brands though I did see a nice loro piana cashmere jacket in 44L.

What were the non-SF approved brands?

From memory, bugatchi, tombolini, s cohen, strellson, jack victor, weather report, waterville, luciano brandi shirts, brax pants.

Speaking for myself, nothing wrong with Strellspn, Jack Victor, and Braxx.

Hi guys - whats the consensus these days for re-soling here in Toronto. I had a pair resoled at Nicks a few years ago and while the job was fine I wouldnt say it was neat and tiday. I have a pair of carmina and zegna couture with holes in the soles and would really like a decent job done to keep the aesthetic of the shoes.

Thanks

Try Gary coakley in London or dan Frappier heels and soles in sudbury

Coakleys in London.

Heels n Sole in Sudbury.

Fix em up repairs in Barrie.

Timeless shoe repair in Thunder Bay.

Quick Cobbler in Vancouver.

I have reviews on each of the above. The mail in costs is worth it if you love the shoes.

Thanks so much. Both London and Barrie are doable.

Check out their pics on Facebook. Just type in their shop names.

Gary Coakley, and Corey Hiltz are great guys to deal with.

I would opt for JR leather soles. They are much more durable than most brands. Worth the extra $$$.

Has anyone tried this place for custom suits and/or other custom wear?

The sales staff are pretty aggressive, and will say anything to make a sale. I usually wait for their warehouse sales at the airport centre and ALWAYS wait for Tom at the cashier. He will always negotiate further.

Most guys on this forum hate Tom's Place. It's not for everyone.

There is a well rehearsed routine where Tom makes his offer & all the staff chime in to say what an incredible deal you're getting.

Cancer imo.

I've heard Tom's place can be very salespersony and pushy for sales. Which is not what you want when it comes to buying a suit. That's very different from other higher end menswear stores.

I hate that place with a passion. Sales guy put me in the smallest J. Lindberg and couldn’t tell me if it was half canvassed or not.
The ultimate insult would be to buy a suit from a vintage store in Kensington and have them alter it. Then tell them how much of a deal it was.

I agree. Their routine(s) are nauseating. But I get it, and don't let their routine get to my head.
