A tailor for Bathurst & Lawrence.
The heart of the community.
The Bathurst–Lawrence and Lawrence Manor community is where Sam's traditional work lives: Shabbos suits, simcha garments, and the fine dark suit that reads as kavod in shul.
Along Bathurst from Lawrence to Wilson is one of the oldest, closest Jewish communities in Toronto, and it's where most of Sam's traditional work begins. He has dressed Lawrence Manor and Lawrence Plaza families for years: the fine dark suit for Shabbos, the bekishe and kapota, the kittel, and the bar mitzvah suit a boy grows into. Sam knows what these garments are for, not only what they look like, and that is why fathers send their sons.
It's a short run up Bathurst to the studio, or Sam brings the fitting to your home, whichever keeps the family together and the schedule easy. Everything is one-on-one, dignified and discreet, and never fitted on Shabbos or Yom Tov. Chosson wardrobes are drawn together and finished in the days before the wedding; a whole party can be measured in a single visit.
Beyond the traditional garments, the same care goes into custom suits, wedding suits and tuxedos for the community: drafted to your body, kept on a pattern, and made to fit rather than sold off a rack.
For Bathurst & Lawrence clients, Sam makes custom suits, wedding suits & tuxedos, business suits, custom shirts and traditional menswear, all measured personally.

Questions from Bathurst & Lawrence clients
Is there a Jewish tailor at Bathurst & Lawrence?
Yes. Sam makes traditional Jewish menswear for the Bathurst–Lawrence and Lawrence Manor community: Shabbos suits, bekishe, kapota, kittel, bar mitzvah and chosson tailoring, all made to measure and to the tradition. A short drive up Bathurst to the studio.
How much is a custom Shabbos suit, bekishe or kapota?
It depends on the cloth and the garment. Sam gives an honest quote at the consultation, with no showroom markup, and the first conversation costs nothing.
Does Sam make bar mitzvah suits for the community?
Yes. Bar mitzvah suits are cut with room to let out over the next two years, and the pattern is kept for the next suit. Fathers are often measured at the same visit.
Are you closed on Shabbos and Yom Tov?
Always. Fittings are by appointment, one family at a time, and never on Shabbos or Yom Tov.
