We tailor custom clothing – suits, jackets, pants, shirts and coats. We design, cut, and make each garment – from start to finish – in our Vancouver workshops.

The focus: educating, creating, and laying the foundation for a locally produced and individually tailored wardrobe. Our construction combines soft materials and subtle structuring to create shape while allowing it to conform to your body. The end result: clothes that are cut slightly closer to the body to increase comfort and mobility while providing a natural and clean aesthetic. This care and c

raftsmanship sets us apart from other shops that produce their clothing in large scale, often overseas, factory settings. Our in-house approach ensures we control the entire process and enables us to offer an affordable entry point into the custom clothing market.

As a former athlete I know that repetition makes perfect - at a minimum it works when it comes to muscle memory. In a slightly different way I'm throwing out another bit of wedding inspiration to jog guys memories that now is the time to start planning for their spring and summer weddings. I'm already dealing with three weddings as I write where they were late to the game and the turn around time is under three weeks - trust me when I say getting out ahead of this aspect of your wedding planning will make you life easier and less stressful! Talk soon...

A bit of a mini rant to get me back into the swing of posting again after a 6 month hiatus - nice to be back!

Friday Style Debate: what spring jacket are you wearing?

For me the spring jacket is all about versatility; bridging the gap between warm days and cool evenings or to help us transition from a more casual environment to a setting that is more formal. It needs to be perfectly fitted - sharp enough to pair with fine tailoring or to be dressed down. Personally I'm still trying to nail down my choice for this year - it's down to the Barracuda style on the left or the traditional Bomber on the right. Did I overlook a style? What are you looking to wear? Let the debate begin...

What is Wednesday #30.

Continuing on from our discussion last week we're looking at the concept of waistband ease. Typically we add anywhere from a 1/4 to 1" of ease onto the waist measurement; this allows for greater comfort + accounts for the daily fluctuations you have due to eating and drinking. Let me know if you have any thoughts and/or comments...

Friday Style Debate: Can you over do it with white?

We had a lot of sun this week thus the return of the white sneaker is officially upon us. I ask the overdoing-it question as a fellow walked by me yesterday wearing the same outfit as the fellow on the left. My first reaction - the double use of white felt a bit too jarring. By adding a jacket - like the top right - that visual impact is totally reduced. The same effect is achieved by adding a third color option with the shirt. Agree? Disagree? Let the debate begin...

Time to Debate! We’ve had an amazing week of weather and with sun returning so has the white sneaker. It’s everywhere – and with good reason as.... Read Full Article

Friday Style Debate: Buttoning up without a tie?

So many potential facets to this discussion; starting with is it alright to attempt this look in the first place? Another angle is how high on the difficulty-of-execution scale is this look? And lastly how do you best go about executing this look? My two cents are up on the journal - I'd love to hear yours. Let the debate begin...
