The Ultimate Toronto Thread

I also got mine at Sherway and it was the last one. I don't think they carry Belstaff at the downtown location.

I have not seen Belstaff at the downtown location.

Picked up a Belstaff coated cotton navy jacket yesterday (s racer) from Saks in Sherway. Last one that was left. Regular price was $835 but I got it for $165. I don't know how much these jackets usually get marked down but seemed like a good deal?

Yes I was at the Belstaff outlet near Palm Springs last year and the least expensive jacket was still over $200 USD.

Any tips on where to pickup a black chelsea boot/jodhpur (preferred) or black double monk around $300 before this weekend? I know of Loding but with all the sales going on I'm wondering if there any other options.

Need some black shoes this weekend so I figure I might as well fill a hole in the wardrobe while I'm at it.

I saw some Coach chelsea boots at Saks as part of the recent sale that after discounts would have been closer to $200, if I did the math correctly. They were burgundy, though, but they actually didn't look bad. No weird details, good shape, no exterior branding. I know nothing of their quality, though.

AE finally came out with a decent, simply Chelsea, after I'd been wishing for a couple of years now. I haven't seen them in stores around here they, and unfortunately, unless they hit the Shoebank, they won't be had for $300 CAD or less.

They also released this new medallion toe double monk.

Stopped by Harry's and checked out the website for their sale, and it's very disappointing. They say up to 60% off, but a lot of the stuff I saw was much less than that.

It's especially disappointing when you see the markdowns that Saks has. I hope this encourages Harry's to have better sales.

Just to update on the RLBL Navy Blazer in 40T at HR Outlet, they called me few weeks back saying there was a promo at $499+tax. I thought it could go a bit lower so today I got the email for additional 20% off. Was able to score it for $400+tax which is a fantastic price. I have gained a bit in size due to weight training so the jacket actually fits better than last time I tried it on. Shoulders are perfect as well as sleeve length which is very usual for me. Thanks again guys for sending me to the right place!!!

PS: Also noticed they have some Tod's driving mocs available in limited sizes/colours for $350 - 20% until Aug 1st. I tried on a pair of size 10 but the colour (textured dark red leather) wasn't for me. I would've went for it had it been any of the regular colour like grey/blue/black/brown.

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?

Really going to wear them with sport jacket? Hm... I find that look silly and have only seen it in fashion ads, never IRL. Did you try SuSu, they seam to market that kind of look?

 

[Spruce Moose]

Not sure if they meet your requirements but I picked up some jcrew linen shorts off their clearance for sub 40$

 

[Master-Classter]

Yeah all my linen shorts are Club Monaco (or Uniqlo) and would imagine J-Crew does similar type stuff too. All for $20-30 max.

I'm assuming this is the look you're aiming for?

If you're taking the risk of a jacket and shorts, do it right with Thom Browne. There was a consignment shop that had some nice shorts with the hook and eye closure but they're wool

 

[Spruce Moose]

IMO (which is pretty much irrelevant) it doesn't look right. Even in the model pictures it looks weird to me. I guess it depends where you are from but I've never seen it in Toronto

 

[Master-Classter]

I could see it more likely with a linen loose sportscoat, or even one of those jersey 'sportscoat' type things, but overall not easy to pull off. I find it's not only the combo of the jacket and shorts but also the dress shoes and bare ankles.

[Duff_Man]

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!
