The Order ProcessĪfter you decide on your preferred fit (slim or contemporary), you’ll choose your fabric, select style options like lapel and pocket styles, and dial in your suit fit. Cuts come in a traditional ‘American’ style, an ‘English’ cut with a more structured, roped-style shoulder, or a more relaxed ‘Neapolitan’ style. There are two main fits: a ‘slim’ (which, as you’ll find out, is indeed slim) and a fuller ‘contemporary’ fit.
SPIER AND MACKAY COCONUTBATTERY FULL
Prices for suits at Spier & MacKay start at $348 full retail and go up to $898. While they used to have a flagship retail location in Toronto, it closed in 2021, partially due to the pandemic. In recent years, the company has moved to a largely online model. The MTO program launched in Fall 2019, enabling customers to dial in their fit on many of the regular suiting and sports jackets. The brand, which began with a few shirts and a few ‘core’ suits, now spans the entire menswear spectrum: Blake-stitched shoes, welted boots, sweaters, casual wear, OTR and custom shirts, accessories, and a truly fantastic collection of outerwear. However, it has retained much of the ‘intimate’ feel you’d get from a smaller shop. Manufacturing in both India and China, the company has expanded exponentially over the last dozen years. The company went live in early May 2010, both in a retail location in Mississauga, Ontario, and online. Since Rikky’s family had been in the apparel and textiles business for fifty years, in 2009, he set out to create his own brand - Spier & Mackay. We were founded on the belief that a great fit and high quality don’t have to be a luxury.
These custom-made shirts were better fitting and of better quality than what was available in stores. Recognizing an opportunity, he would buy some cloth and have custom-made shirts made for him at a fraction of what he’d been used to paying for a poor-fitting shirt from a fast-fashion brick-and-mortar retailer back home in Canada. Walking through a vast selection of textiles in Eastern markets, Rikky Khanna could find rolls of cloth from some of the world’s best mills (such as VBC, Reda, and Guabello) for a low price. Spier & Mackay’s story begins in an Asian textile market. I approached them with a proposition to go through the MTO process and write an in-depth, objective review of the experience. However, the brand offers a Made-to-Order (MTO) program. Also, for several reasons, the shoulder shape doesn’t sit quite right on my body type. Their ‘Regular’ jackets are too long for me, but their ‘Short’ jackets are too short for my frame and fit preferences. However, the fit of their off-the-rack suiting has been somewhat of a challenge to get right. I’ve always been a fan of their styling and have been a customer for over four years. If you can find a good fit, it’s not much of a stretch to say that what this brand offers just might be the best deal in menswear. It’s a little boring for a 40th suit.For over a decade, this Canadian company has taken timeless design and some of the world’s best fabrics and offered them at uniquely affordable prices. You are still paying $15 for a return and Spier doesn’t think you are worth their $15 investment.
SPIER AND MACKAY COCONUTBATTERY FREE
Everyone is now about free returns and shipping and people genuinely like it regardless of how it’s paid for. Mostly because it’s free regardless of baked in or not. Saying returns are baked in is a little disingenious. You can nail your size down without paying a fortune Susu ships 3 suits (sizes) at the price of 1 suit. Having everything the same and just slim and regular is the the McDonalds version of supersize or regular. Button hole type, full canvas, half canvas, unlined this is what is generally meant by fit at most higher end suit stores. There’s more details such as lapel width, lining, shoulders, button stance. Just having slim and regular doesn’t make a suit.
they all use an established factory to manufacture their line of footwear. Unless you're an established hundred-year-old brand in the shoemaking business, you're outsourcing to a factory somewhere. Spier should do a collab with Justin FitzPatrick to inject some oomph into their shoes S&M is also located in downtown Toronto, along the financial centre, so they cater to the CBD office worker. But to put it into perspective, SuSu has been in business for a decade, while S&M is still new on the scene. Speaking of shoes, SuSu is blake-stitched rather than GYW and using, having visited the stores a few times, inferior leather. Their shirts are incredibly superior to SuSu's - and I mostly buy shirts from them. For me, personally, I find S&M to be better in line with how I dress: CBD. Their styles and fit have gotten too confusing and too "modern." Slim, JCrew-style lapels super tight fits high-price point to quality ratio. I don't find SuSu to cater to me anymore in the last five years.
