Made-to-order suits cost less than ill-fitting big brands
When it comes to individual style, why blend in with the masses, when you can break apart with a one-of-a-kind bespoke suit. Contrary to what most men believe, high-end department store suit’s start at $2,000, and a perfectly tailored bespoke suit costs significantly less at $1,400.
During these challenging economic times when it is important to buy smart and get the most for your money, bespoke is one of the great hidden values out there. Bespoke suits combine craftsmanship, quality and are made to last and look good year after year. The expert staff at Toronto’s House of Salgado understands that no two body types are alike and they ensure that each of their bespoke suits is carefully configured to fit a customer's individual body type. No two patterns are ever the same.
House of Salgado has been in the business of custom suit manufacturing for close to 50 years, when the original store was set up in Toronto, fitting customers with nothing but the best in custom-made suits
“We recommend that men do their own research and check out the top brand names at the big name retailers and then come to our store and compare,” says Mark Salgado, co-owner of House of Salgado. “You will be pleasantly surprised to find that bespoke suits are less expensive than off-the-rack suits and provide you with a perfectly fitted suit, unmatched by big brands,” he adds.
With bespoke you give up the brand name label, but you do not pay for the marketing costs which are built into the off-the-rack suits. Purchasing a bespoke suit also provides men with a professional tailor that will be there to replace buttons, take in pants and service any other small adjustments, so you can continue to look good and stand out at the office, at dinner, on a date, anywhere!
Instead of looking like every other label-clad man on Bay Street, House of Salgado recommends:
Getting to know your tailor and letting your tailor get to know you, as well as your likes and dislikes
Becoming familiar with great quality fabrics and starting with the best; Zegna, Cerruitti, Holland and Sherry, Dormeuil and Barberis
Developing your own style
Making a statement with detail; cufflinks, silk ties,
Making the fit of your suit speak for you

About House of Salgado
The Salgado family learned their trade by working in the fabric mills of Sabadell, just outside of Barcelona, Spain. In 1951, Antonio Salgado came to Canada and settled in Toronto and worked for the Ford Company while building the business. In 1960, and following his family’s move to Canada, Rapido Alterations and Invisible Mending was born and developed a reputable reputation for fine workmanship. It was from here that House of Salgado was born. Almost 50 years later, the business is still family run. Antonio and his son Mark continue to distinguish themselves from the competition by giving careful fitting of all garments. The store crafts all garments by individually cutting each garment and fitting each client during the basting (Skeleton) stage the garment were/are then re-cut as per the fitting corrections and then finish for a second fitting and check for further adjustments.
House of Salgado dedicates itself to producing fine bespoke gentleman’s clothing from the finest fabrics of the world such as Zegna, Cerruitti, Holland and Sherry, Dormeuil and Barberis. Product lines have grown over the years and include custom made suits, shirts and have been expanded to include custom made shoes. One of the few remaining bespoke shops in Toronto, House of Salgado has always kept and will continue to keep the bespoke philosophy or “made to order” mindset in everything it does. The store recently moved to the Toronto-Dominion Centre and operates Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
