    Hey Guys,

    As the title reads. We've recently started a local Canadian brand for custom fitted suits and dress shirts, without the ridiculous prices that other places typically offer.

    You can chose from hundreds of fabrics, with an option for super 130s or 160s for suit thread counts. Our offices are located in Toronto and Vancouver.

    One of our reps will come to your home or office and take 30 different measurements. In two weeks your custom suit or shirt is delivered to you personally.

    I wanted to extend a group rate to my fellow vortexers, with a fully tailored suit starting at only $495, which is comparable to something you would buy off the rack. We also have special rates for vest, tie and shirt combos as well. We are also introducing a suit, shirt and tie combo for only $550!

    Please check out our website at www.empirecustoms.ca where you can browse through some pictures, and feel free to pm me with any questions you might have.

    Thanks for the support!

    Thanks for all your inquiries! All PMs replied to.

    Remember, you can customize the individual features of your suits, such as lapels, double breasted, type and color of stitch.. Or one of us can help you find the right look for your frame.

    You can also upgrade to a 3-piece suit for weddings or other formal occasions. Please check out our gallery online at www.empirecustoms.ca

    Thank you for those who have already booked appointments with us. We still have evening spots left for Thursday and Friday!

    We're excited about all the support we're getting too! You'll find that your second suit is always a better experience.. We keep all your measurements in our system so all you have to do is select a fabric and color. We take care of the rest!

    Thanks again for the compliment!

    Interested but don't need the suite until beginning of September. Will this deal still be around then? And how many more designs and colors of medium to light shades of blue suites do you have. I saw that one light blue suite on your web site.
    PM me if you want me to program your windows to go up/down with your remote. ('01-'05.5 MKIV's & Passat's)

    We will do our best to keep the vortex deal around for as long as possible, however at this point I'm not 100% sure how long. As we move closer to the date you could always reserve the group rate with a deposit. Keep in mind you would need to get fitted 3 weeks prior to when you need the suit.

    As mentioned by dossantos, we have a very extensive selection of colors, where you will have no trouble finding one that you like! You could always swing by the showroom by appointment anytime this week and have a look in person before making a decision.

    Thanks!

    just picked up my suit. I was fitted on a thursday less then 2 weeks ago in a rush for a wedding, and you guys came through! The suit fit and looked spot on, couldn't be happier. Nathan did an awesome job giving his opinion and feedback on selected colour combos and style options. Considering this was my first custom suit, I can't say enough good things. I hope to return shortly for a navy blue suit and maybe a vest to go with the current one. Great job!

    We try to keep our showroom hours as flexible as possible. Remember, we're also there on Saturday. You can PM me your schedule and I can work around your availability. As mentioned by dossantos25 there are many options and sample jackets for you to look at before making a decision.

    Let me know if I can help in any way. Thanks!
