    The Ultimate Toronto Thread

    I often get very particular and challenging alterations done by Daniel Custom Tailor in the Yorkdale area and Moda by Francesco at Bathurst and Wilson. Both have lots of experience with Bespoke and pattern-making. They are not as expensive as the Yorkville area tailors.

    Yes... I am getting a black suit. Lapel and Weave help

    Don't marry yourself to the notch lapel. Peak lapel will help it really stand out. If you're wearing a black suit, really embrace the accents to make it clear that you are doing black fabric on purpose, not by mistake. One-button is good. Wide peak lapels, slanted pocket flaps, Milanese...

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    I'm looking for a high end Xinjiang cotton shirting with some stretch. Is Esquel the only game in the world for Xinjiang cotton?

    Some pocket square designs I'm working on, part 4

    Any way we can get this printed on heavier silk, closer to what Hermes uses?

    Kevlar in Clothing & Blends(?)

    Maybe some abrasion resistance and tear resistance. That amount of kevlar is just for novelty or for its stiff hand. Also, when talking about kevlar in terms of ballistic or slash resistance, they generally have to talk in 'layers' as opposed to composition. Don't expect anything to be cut...

    Potential Outfits That Will Not Make Me Look Stupid

    Get a versatile sportcoat, a decent pair of dark jeans (you can wear the suede monkstraps with jeans) and some plain v-neck t shirts. At your age, wearing a suit and collared shirt, even a sportcoat and collared shirt outside of events that have specific dress codes would be seen to be an...

    Hey guys, Random request. Doing a photoshoot on 27OCT and samples can't get made in time. Does anyone have a Killspencer Attaché that could be loaned for a few hours downtown Toronto?

    Huge response! Thanks. SuSu is the only place that carries them, but not in grey :/ I've tried some other places such as Club Monaco and J. Crew and the shorts are all cargo and casual. I do plan to wear them with linen structured jackets and no socks, just to (partially) alleve your concerns!

    The Ultimate Toronto Thread

    So I've been looking for some nice shorts for the longest time and no one seems to carry them. Looking for nice, dressy linen Bermuda-esque shorts that I can pair with sport coats in grey and/or navy. Can anyone point me in a direction?

    Official: STAR WARS THREAD. These are the droids you're looking for. **WARNING MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS

     Not that I want to keep this unnecessarily rancorous discussion going any further, but I can imagine why Ataturk and other would be cheesed by the newly diversity. This may be a magical land, but its aesthetics, look and feel were illustrated quite clearly. Star Wars was a universe where...

     I think he's referring to some very certain moments where she clearly overpowers him physically. She definitely does use the force several times in the fight.

    Official: STAR WARS THREAD. These are the droids you're looking for. **WARNING MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS

     And Rey is not Rhonda Rousey. She's may be decent with a staff, and have the street scrapping skills to keep herself safe from a few scoundrels, but Kylo Ren is supposed to be one of the more feared presences in the galaxy. And, yes, he's twice her size. If it were Kylo Ren hand to hand vs...

    Tumi Men's Wallet quality?

    Quality is 'enh.' Definitely sufficient for daily life for a few years, but not the most luxurious or durable stuff on earth. Tumi is mass market stuff at a premium price point. I would suggest committing to something a bit more luxurious or elegant with full grain leather or something even more...
