Is that literally the only option in all of Canada lol

There are not many. There is another store in PEI called Eastwood Ave that is also a Harley stockist, but they appear to have nothing in stock now (they did a post-winter sale early in 2023, and prices were quite good on an array of Shetland sweaters there).

I bought from both NAQP and Eastwood via internet sales and both went very smoothly.

In the US, No Man Walks Alone had a really good sale on Jamiesons of Shetland (maybe still on?) They used to ship all orders to Canada for free via USPS (though the package still attracted tax/duty about 50% of the time), but I think they just this month made a new rule with a minimum purchase for free shipping to Canada.

As a person who tries to get their clothes repaired depending on the piece, this would be awesome to have.

I've had three shirts patched up at the Junction before - two from wear, and one I accidentally tore. It won't look the same as before, but imperfection isn't a bad thing in these instances.

Got a good Toronto question, the further east of the city you can provide recommendations the better but post anywhere you know that does good beard trims and hair cuts.

Out in the east end now. Any decent men's tailors in Durham where I can take garments for repair and altering? I tried someone in Scarborough and they absolutely trashed some expensive jackets. I love my tailor in Mississauga but with the 401 being a disaster, it's a couple hour drive now.

Who is your Mississauga tailor? No info on Durham. Sorry.
