July 11, 2013

It seems that men only operate in extremes. Before men rarely believed in getting anything altered, today, they expect vendors to be able to redesign the garment onsite. Realize the difference between made-to-measure vs off-the-rack, while the former allows for unlimited tweaks and alterations the later doesn’t. It is for this that we put together this tutorial to help you navigate the world of suit alterations.

Trade your old suit for your son’s new prom suit!

May 2, 2013

No matter the generation Prom has always been one of those “rite of passage” kind of moments. We’ve all been through it and no matter our varied experiences and memories we can all agree that Prom night is one you’ll remember for the rest of your life. So why not take part in your son, brother, nephew, cousins prom by bringing them in to get fitted for a great suit. Much like how we’ve convinced most of you into buying suits vs renting, that same wisdom needs to be passed down to the younger generation. Helping them to purchase a suit will not only make them look like a star at their prom but give you bragging rights for at least a few years, or until they graduate from college or university.

To sweeten the pot we’ve got two great promotions for our young gents.

Suit trade in: simply bring in an old suit and we’ll give you a $50 credit towards the purchase of your new suit.
If you purchase one of these great promo suits, we’ll throw in a tie or bow tie with matching pocket square from Haight and Ashbury for FREE ( Approx Value: $65)

For Spring, we’re really excited to introduce you to an amazing Dutch brand called Van Gils. Known for its unique take on a traditional medium, Van Gils is great for the guy that loves to live life. Their latest campaign “No Stitch No Story” perfectly represents the philosophy, craftsmanship as well as the humanic and honest values of the brand.

We’re no role models.
We’re real men modeling our own life.
We hunt for rich experiences.
Amazing stories and unforgettable events.
We count stitches and collect scars.
They are the trophies of life.
The souvenirs that remind us of our acts.

Sometimes we go off the rails and over the edge.
Sometimes we fall and sometimes we crash.
But always in style.
Always surprising.
Always with pride.
And with a smile.
Feeling surprisingly confident.

These stories shape our personality.
They make us interesting.
They make us who we are.
