Where to buy a suit for around $1000 - 1500

**QuA** · 11-15-2005, 05:23 PM

Looking for something nice. Not sure where to go.

**lastprodigy** · 11-15-2005, 05:24 PM

Harry Rosen, Forman's ...etc...

I've bought mine @ Holt Renfrew and Henry Singer in TD Square.

My next suit would be custom taylored however. Not just for that "perfect" fit, but because I had such a shitty experience @ Holt Renfrew that I refuse to spend another dime there.

Holt Renfrew
Harry Rosen
Henry Singer

and why set a price range like that - I think it's better to find a suit based on what you like vs. pure price.

You could get a made to measure.

I like Paul Smith suits because they are slim fitting and aren't overly expensive.

Ahh sweet info. Yeah I was thinking about heading down to Harry Rosen. Damn im starting to get addicted to suits. Very expensive hobby =P

Get on a plane to HK and get some custom made.

henry singer!

er theres this other place, right off 17th ave...you turn at the "st marys" church ... ughhh ... its right there anyway! really nice boss suits.

For $1000-1500 I would get it made-to-measure.

You will get a better fitting suit with the fabrics and cut of your choice.

Holt is probably the worst place to shop. Unless you are a label-whore you will pretty much get ignored and brushed off. If you need to buy a suit off the rack (due to time constraints) go to Henry Singer or O'Connors.

**Toms-SC** · 11-15-2005, 05:30 PM

O Conners for sure!

They did a great job and getting me fitted and prepped. They spent about two hours with me trying on different shirts/ties and suits till we found the perfect combo.

**t-im** · 11-15-2005, 05:32 PM

I wouldn't just go to one place to find a suit...everywhere has a slightly diff selection.

I have a few made to measure's because it's really hard to find suits that really fit me (34R)..and I don't like to "hem down" a 36R unless I really have to.

And of course i'm sure you know, but each brand of suit has slightly different fits..soo try everything applicable on...

Holt is gay, I went there to look for a suit and not one person approached me , Stay away from them

**Celica TVS3** · 11-15-2005, 06:53 PM

Yeah,

I would stay away from the designer brand names and go to a tailor. The highend designers are selling the same mass produced crap as anyother store. Having said that I wear Nautica suits from the bay

Does anyone know of a good local tailor?

Hey i'm just curious, but what happened there? I've gotten pretty decent service whenever i've been there

**SikAssR1** · 11-15-2005, 07:36 PM

Booo for Holt

yay for Harry, I have a couple of friends who work there and always tell me that they get many unhappy Holt customers that shop with them instead.

**RX-7_TWINTURBO** · 11-15-2005, 07:47 PM

james & dickson will custom make a 3 piece suit for you for around your price range.

**Raz2** · 11-15-2005, 07:49 PM

I got a few suits for 20 dollars at some of the 2nd hand stores around town, spent another 20 dollars on each suit for alterations to fit me perfectly

Thers a store in TD called PinStripe...bought a suit there for i think $180 and got a free shirt,tie,socks,belt,and shoes.
they have quite a large selection and service is good
nothing in your price range however there might be something you like for cheaper
