By Behind every great man, they say, is a great woman. But the truth is, there’s a great tailor there, too.
Because every man is different, and a tailor understands that. He knows that no matter how much you spend on a suit, you won’t look like a million bucks until it’s tweaked to make you look your finest. In his hands, a $200 suit can look like a $1200 suit. Without him, that $1200 suit may look like a $200 suit.
But finding the right tailor isn’t easy. The high-end retailers may have some masterful tailors in-house, but you need someone non-partisan; someone without any allegiances that could interfere with his single, all-important goal: making you look your best.
If you’re fortunate enough to have such a man in your life, then please, help your fellow readers by telling us about him. We’re asking you, the guys of Toronto, to send us a few words about the greatest tailor (or tailors) that you know. We’ll include him in a soon-to-launch GuyMap of the city’s finest tailors, complete with feedback from you, our natty readers.

John De Laurentiis at Le Firme in Richmond Hill is nirvana. They make the entire suit. Do not know if the do alterations on outside stuff, but man! what a body style and the linings wow! Ask for the De Laurentiis Signature it is the best Bespoke suit out of Europe or London
We’ve always been very happy with the service and the suits from Rego, in the Exchange Tower at York and King.
I would say Thomas K T Chui on Broadview. He’s made suits for former prime ministers, governor generals, and makes beautiful suits.
Definitely Joa at GotStyle. Great guy, great suits, great service.
