The Drawing Board · Suit visualizer

Design your own suit, then have it made.

Pick the cloth, the cut and the finishing, and watch the suit take shape on the hanger: free, and nothing to sign up for. Send the drawing to Sam, and your first appointment starts from your sketch instead of a blank page.

Send your look to Sam

I'll have your drawing in hand before you arrive, so we spend the fitting on fabric and fit instead of starting from scratch. Sending it books nothing.

After the drawing

From the screen to the studio.

Three steps
  1. Design it here

    Start from an occasion or from scratch: the cloth, single- or double-breasted, lapels, buttons, lining, trousers, a waistcoat, and the shirt and tie it is worn with. Nothing to sign up for.

  2. Send it to Sam

    One form sends the drawing with your name and phone number, or book an appointment and bring it. Sending it books nothing.

  3. Measured and made in Vaughan

    Sam measures you at the studio just north of Steeles and puts the real cloth in your hands. A suit takes three to four weeks, with one fitting on the finished garment, or twelve days when it is urgent and the fabric is in.

Questions

Good to know.

Straight answers
Is the suit visualizer free?

Yes, and there is nothing to sign up for. The drawing changes as you choose, your design is kept in this browser, and "Copy a link to this design" gives you a link to send or come back to. Sending it to Sam books nothing.

Can I design my own suit online and have it made in Toronto?

Yes. Design it here, send it to Sam, and he makes it at his studio in Vaughan, just north of Steeles. You are measured in person; a suit takes three to four weeks with one fitting on the finished garment, and twelve days is possible when it is urgent and the fabric is in.

Is the cloth in the drawing the real cloth?

Every cloth on the board is from Sam's library of around two hundred, drawn in its own colour and weave, so a pinstripe reads as a pinstripe. A drawing is not daylight, though: at the studio Sam puts the real cloth in your hands before anything is cut.

What can I change on the suit?

The cloth; single- or double-breasted, with one, two or three buttons, or four or six on a double-breasted jacket; notch, peak or shawl lapels; the lining; flat-front or pleated trousers; a matching or contrast waistcoat; and the shirt, tie and pocket square it is worn with. The fit is taken at the bench, not on a screen.

I don't know where to start. What should I pick?

Start from an occasion. Business, Wedding, Black tie and Traditional each set a complete suit that you can then change one choice at a time. Or bring a picture to the studio: the drawing is a starting point, not a contract.

Can I design the shirt as well?

Yes, on the Shirt Board: the cotton, collar and cuffs, the front, a pocket and a monogram, with trousers if you like. The shirt you choose there is the shirt under the suit here, and the other way round.
