Marcus from the a la mode blog (@fusionofeffects) stopped in a few weeks ago to do a shoot with us on our new Ted Baker spring arrivals. We were first requested to do a shoot almost seconds after our announcement on Twitter, which has proven time and time again to be an excellent way to reach out to other blog writers, men’s style enthusiasts, and our customers.

Alternatively you can read our original post on the Ted Baker shirts here.

We also put Adam, a la mode‘s model for the day, in a Tombolini suit – he didn’t want to take it off after being showered with compliments! We eventually got him out of it and used the photo for our segment in this week’s NOW Magazine (see right).

Thanks again to Marcus and a la mode for featuring us on your blog!

We’re active on Twitter, so send us your vibes about our store, site content, well wishes, or whatever else you want to tweet us!

Staff Picks for February

February 27, 2010

Michael with Penguin sneakers, $145.

Michael chose the new Penguin sneakers for his favourite piece this month. The sneakers, that have a deck shoe style to it, use sophisticated fabrics (both suede and leather) to give it a low profile look with a bit of edge to it. The colours add a subtle pop to your dark denims and your light colour shorts. It’s a great all-around sneaker for spring.

Neale with a V.Frass scarf, $35

Neale is wearing a new scarf from V.Frass. Made with light weight cotton, its a spring and summer accessory for both daytime and night. It’s the perfect accessorizing piece to finish your look.

Veronica with a Gregory Allen shirt, $265

Veronica went with the Gregory Allen shirt, another piece new for spring. What makes this special for this season is the light weight material, the seer sucker detail, and the pattern-on-pattern design (which is making its re-debut this season). The shirt is also a great transition piece (can be worn from day to night) on your casual days. The snap buttons are an added bonus, and can be worn overtop a t-shirt – left open or closed.

Joa with a Tombolini suit ($895), Gotstyle private label shirt ($165), Dagr tie ($115)

It’s the time for tan coloured suits, so Joa picked out a Tombolini suit with a Gotstyle private label shirt and Dagr tie. Change things up this season from the charcoal and blacks for something a little more colour and personality.

Why we don’t carry…

February 26, 2010

Boss – A menswear staple for decades, which is why we want to offer the consumer something new. We carry Cinque suits (also from Germany) that offer the same quality level and styling at a much better price point of $600 versus $900. Since Cinque doesn’t have a massive international marketing budget that they have to maintain, they can keep their suit prices where they should be.

Canali / Zegna / Brioni – While we love the Italians, their suits range from $1,500 and up. At Gotstyle we would rather you have some money left over to go out for a nice dinner, so we carry suits from $600 to $1,200. We do carry some Italian off-springs (secondary collections) like T-Concept by Tombolini and Lab by Pal Zileri.

Most of the suits we carry are a half canvas garment so they are less expensive than a full canvas suit but still gives the benefit of a nice roll and padding to the lapel and stability to the front chest (so it will mold to your body the more you wear it).

All of our suits are a modern cut (shorter jacket, trimmer pants, nothing boxy or pleated) and we carry a good range of suits from size 36 to 46 tall.
