It begins with a conversation.
Twenty-six measurements, taken by hand. Sam learns how you actually move, sit and stand, and it all goes down in pencil before anything is drawn.
A suit takes three to four weeks. 14 August is the comfortable order date for Rosh Hashanah; after 30 August it is a rush and worth a phone call rather than an assumption.
Sam has been measuring shoulders, marking chalk and threading lapels for over thirty years, the last decade-plus from the studio in Vaughan. Every client is measured and fitted by Sam himself, and every garment is made to those measurements: never off a rack, never rushed.
Whether you are standing at the altar, walking into a boardroom, fitting a son for his first kapota, or simply choosing how you want to be remembered when you walk into a room, the work begins the same way. A measuring tape. A pencil. A long conversation about the man inside the cloth.
One tailor, one client at a time, a wall of cloth.
There is no showroom floor and no sales team. One tailor, one client at a time, a wall of cloth. You're measured by the man who will fit and stand behind your suit: twenty-six measurements taken by hand, kept in a notebook, and returned to every time you come back. It's the old way, and for a garment you'll wear for a decade, it's still the best way.
Clients come from across the GTA (Vaughan, Thornhill, Toronto, North York, Richmond Hill and Markham) for the first suit that ever truly fit. Most never go back to buying off the rack.
The suit his grandchildren will find in the album. Tuxedos, three-piece in midnight or oxblood, groom & groomsmen drawn together.
Navy, charcoal, glen check. Cut for ten thousand handshakes and the long Toronto winter.
A wardrobe of shirts, each cut from the same pattern of your shoulders. Two-ply Egyptian, mother-of-pearl, monogrammed cuff.
Shabbos suits, bekishe & kapota, bar mitzvah and shtreimel-ready formalwear. Handled with discretion and respect.












Sam will give you the kind of attention, care and honesty that the big suit stores just won’t.
Twenty-six measurements, taken by hand. Sam learns how you actually move, sit and stand, and it all goes down in pencil before anything is drawn.
A crisp bespoke shirt, cut from the pattern of your own shoulders, the foundation every finished look is built on.
Drawn in chalk, cut to your pattern, then corrected on your body at the fitting. The cloth learns the shape of you.
Tailored trousers, finished to your shoe with the right break. Nothing pools at the ankle; nothing pulls at the seat.
Pressed, boxed, and yours. You walk out of the studio a little taller than you walked in.









I was lucky enough to find Sam just before my wedding. He was fantastic to work with in bringing my suit idea to life with his expertise and resources. He gave great recommendations on fabrics and styles, and instilled confidence throughout the process. I worked with him to create two custom suits and he delivered ahead of schedule.
If you are in need of a custom suit, look no further. Sam is the guy you want helping you. I went to him 3 months before my wedding and he quickly brought me in and helped me choose the right materials and colours. After 2 quick consults my suit was in development. Sam will give you the kind of attention, care and honesty that the big suit stores just won't.
Always bought my suits off the rack and always struggled with getting a quality suit that fit. A friend recommended I try Sam and I don't think I'll ever switch back. Sam has an extremely wide selection of fabrics and the detail he puts in every suit is truly remarkable. From the fit to choosing my fabric and design, Sam will be my go-to.
Sam is such a great tailor. With only a few weeks before my wedding he made me a tuxedo that looked and felt great to wear. It fits very well and I got many compliments. I learned so much about tailoring and fabrics from him. I'd never gotten a custom suit before, but the quality was so good I'll be coming back.
Sam was an absolute pleasure to work with and very patient with all of my questions. He did two suits — for myself and for my son — and the result was fantastic. It was my son's first custom suit and he felt proud to wear it, like a real gentleman. Both of us have received endless compliments.
This summer I purchased a wedding suit from Sam and was extremely impressed with the quality and craftsmanship — a beautiful light-grey colour in a material that felt soft and comfortable through a warm summer day. A modern slim fit that still let me move freely. His customer service was excellent throughout.
The studio is a quiet room of wool, light and patience. Visits are by appointment, so the room is yours for as long as the fitting takes.
The studio is in Vaughan, on the Thornhill line, a short run up from Toronto and North York. Fittings are by appointment so the room is yours and nobody is waiting behind you. Book online, or call and Sam or someone in the family will call you back.
Three to four weeks for a suit and two to three for shirts. The fastest genuine rush is twelve days, though rush work is a favour rather than a service, so it is worth a phone call rather than an assumption. Reordering from a pattern already on file is quicker, because the measuring is done.
Sam does not do house calls. There is one studio and that is where fittings happen, which is what keeps the cloth books, the shears and your pattern in one room. For special cases, call and ask, and he will arrange what he can.
You get a firm price before a thread is cut, and the first consultation is free and carries no obligation. Prices are not published because a number on a page either anchors you low or loses you before you have said what you actually want. Half is due when the cloth is chosen and half on delivery.
Yes. Alterations are part of the order rather than an extra line at the end. A garment you wear for a decade will need work, and fit is not a single event.
Made-to-measure for most work, and Sam will say so. You are measured and fitted by him personally, the pattern is kept on file, and jackets are half-canvassed as standard with full canvas on the dearer cloths. Nothing is fused. Kapotas and bekishes are made bespoke.
Yes, made to your measurements rather than ordered in from Brooklyn or guessed at from a ready-made size, with the discretion the community expects. Bar mitzvah suits, Shabbos suits and chosson wardrobes as well.
Yes, and it is the easiest way to keep everyone consistent. Measuring the groom, the groomsmen and both fathers against the same notebook keeps colour, lapel and detail matching. Out-of-town groomsmen can be measured by a local tailor and the numbers sent in.
