The Ultimate Toronto Thread

Off topic but your Meermin Boots. What sizer are you in AE if you wear them? I had LL bean boots before and they're casual for anything dressy

By the way, how does sizing work on your LL Bean boots?

I'm 8D in them

8D in AE in the 65 last as well. They're true to size

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?

Proxy #2 update: items being delivered to me this week. Will have them in hand by likely next week.

Looks like CETA is going to be signed after all, should we expect zero duty on shoes and clothing from Europe any time soon?

 

[NickInTO]

I think there''s still a ratification process.

 

[akoustas]

Yes but only if it was made in Europe. European brands that have things manufactured outside would still be the same.

As a keen buyer this makes the Brexit all the more painful...

 

[CanadaCal]

There's absolutely tons of European made products that are quality. Might not need to go anywhere else. Looking forward to hearing more about how this will actually impact us.
But like anything political, I'll believe it when I see it.

 

[akoustas]

It will take quite some time to be fully ratified, probably not until the end of 2017

I'm just hoping it'll go into effect before Uk is officially out (they said 2 years didn't they?) so we'll get a window to splurge on Britsh goods

​

We do have a decent window right now since the pound is lower. But it doesn't hurt to hope for better.

Hey guys, update on proxy #2 (squares). They have finally left and are in the sky! Will send out PMs to buyers once they arrive.

And apologies for the delay on this one. Instead of sending the items all at once, they sent them piecemeal to my relative. She sent them once they were all in hand.

That said, they're on their way! I can also send you the tracking # on request if you want to check it yourself.

Thought I'd throw this out there. I've followed him on IG for a while, enjoy seeing different styles and creations.

Previously living in Thailand, Ben is moving back to Toronto to continue making custom denim.

I've never inquired or contacted him myself. I think once he is settled in, it might be worth a custom pair. He has mentioned that walk in customers basically have any no limits or restrictions on what can be done.

Nice to see something like this in our backyard, thought it was worth sharing.

 

[Cityplace]

Wow, very cool. Thanks for highlighting this, will be interesting to see.

This is amazing. I'll get some for sure.
