And a rich, warmly designed tailored clothing department showcases an impressive selection of suits and sports jackets by Canali, BOSS, and the made-in-Canada JP Tilford by Samuelsohn, among others.

Other notable features include a fully staffed, state-of-the-art tailor shop, ensuring timely alterations and premium service. A private, club-like setting serves as the destination for made-to-measure consultations.  

Passers-by will be drawn into the store through a dramatic storefront that features an iconic houndstooth pattern. It was cleverly created by artisans who layered glass to create a striking 3-dimensional appearance. It's lit with more than 2,000 LED lights to create an impactful entrance. Limestone, polished nickel, and zebra-wood are other premium finishes used throughout the new store.
