Blair Shapera Custom Clothing

Blair helped create a custom suit for my husband for our destination wedding. We had consulted with another 3 tailors, but felt most comfortable with Blair for various reasons; he completely saw our vision, didn’t try to sell his services or upsell us, and also made many great recommendations. We were very impressed with the level of service provided by him and the rest of his staff. They helped put together the perfect outfit for my husband and he felt very confidant on our wedding day (and I also thought he looked absolutely amazingly handsome too!). Best fitting and looking suit my husband has to date (even with purchasing other high end brands), especially with his large soccer playing bottom half lol. The fit is modern and material was perfect for the atmosphere (we found other bespoke tailors had dated looking fits).
I can’t imagine anyone having a bad experience there… too many options, years and years of experience, modern, fresh, attentive and understanding people. If you are looking for a custom suit, save yourself the hassle and choose Blair Sharpera. Best decision we made.

Even though I didn’t end up buying a suit from Blair but it was an excellent experience. Right when I walked in, Blair and his team showed amazing care and professionalism. Highly recommended!

My experience was very poor and misleading with this tailor/​shop. I was preparing for a wedding in Hawaii and requested a handmade suit. Maybe because I dress casually for work, or he assumed I had no money, Blair instead steered me towards getting a relatively inexpensive suit that he said he would alter to my specifications. With the wedding data approaching, he was unable to locate the suit for several weeks. That would have been fine.
However, he finally located the suit the day before I was to fly out and did a fitting. I put the suit on and it was obviously about 6 inches too big in the chest (if not more). Blair did everything he could to convince me this was how it was supposed to be worn and kept moving it around so I wouldn’t notice. I’m not one to argue so I ended up paying for the suit and left the store. I tried it on at home and it just looked ridiculous. So I literally binned it and bought an off the rack suit in Hawaii (not many choices out there).
No way would I recommend dealing with this shop.

Blair, you’re a genius.
Brought in one of my favourite pairs of Wings + Horns pants for a complicated job, and Blair’s team did an unbelievable job. You saved them!
One thing I’ll say though is that it was quite a bit more than the quote I was given. Blair first estimated that it would cost around $ 30 to fix, but it came out closer to $ 60 after tax. I couldn’t even be mad because my pants were so perfect. It’s only $ 30, so it doesn’t matter, but if you are having an expensive job done, be very clear about the price.
I’ll be back!

Blair is the real deal.
I wear suits daily for work and have somewhat of a passion for mens wear, however due to my build off the rack suits can’t really accommodate the drop from my chest to my waist nor my hockey ass. I went to Blair after seeing that he had worked with a number of professional sport teams thinking that he would be able to help me out with my problem. From that initial meeting I knew I was in safe hands. Over the course of the last two years I think I have bought about ten suits from Blair from both his MTM and bespoke lines a long with a few shirts and an overcoat. I have consistently been impressed with the quality of the workmanship and materials overall I am very satisfied with the counsel, quality and attention to detail I have received from Blair. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for custom men’s wear at a reasonable price.
Also the added benefit that all alterations for the life of the garment are free is a major selling point. That said I’d counsel anyone looking for a suit immediately to plan ahead when purchasing from Blair because Blair is quite busy and there are lead times in the MTM and bespoke process.

The BEST!!! Plain and simple. Blair is the friendliest person to deal with and has a knack for knowing exactly what will look good on you. Highly highly recommended!

Got a wonderful jacket and sheath dress made. Fits me absolutely perfectly. The whole process was fun and I greatly appreciated the personal service. Don’t think I will ever be able to go back to «the rack». Thanks Blair and team!

I came in here to get a shirt done, great samples, very organized store and awesome customer service. My bestie from across the border got a really nice wedding job done.

Blair Shapera was absolutely fantastic at getting my groomsmen and I Made to Measure suits for my wedding! All was done in a timely manner with outmost attention to detail. My suit is of exceptional quality while also representing outstanding value. The customer service at Blair Shapera was second to none & well beyond my expectations! Thank you Blair!

I don’t wear suits everyday, so I went off of online reviews to help decide where to go. Previously I’d shopped at Brooke’s brothers; mostly because I’d heard of them and they had a decent selection. The cost between the two places was almost identical but the quality isn’t comparable. Blair’s team has an amazing eye for detail. I had requested a few unique alterations and they delivered! In my opinion going anywhere else is a waste of time and money. It’s hard to find sales people that actually listen to what you want the key thing is they respect and understand customer needs and it is reflect in their return business. I will be another one of their return customers.

I will not buy a suit anywhere else, so long as Blair is around.
After 2 hours at the big-​box stores, I walked in to this shop tired and uninterested. But between Mika and Blair, I could not have possibly had a better experience. They took one look at me and knew exactly how to fit me. The first jacket Blair put on my shoulders was comfortable and fit beautifully. I’ve now received the suit and it fits even better than that first jacket! Blair is a genius, his staff are beyond friendly and knowledgeable, and they treat you with respect, whatever your price range.
To top off the service, they expedited things to ensure my suit was ready well in advance of when I needed it. They also fit me in late on a Friday for my fitting, knowing I had to drive in from 4 hours away. They also took care of all minor alterations in less than 24 hours so that I didn’t need to make multiple trips to Vancouver.
Top notch quality, top notch customer service, top notch people. I will be back!

I searched for suits everywhere, but I didn’t find my size, or at least a suit this fit my body perfectly. I came to Blair’s looking for a hand made suit. Blair and his team are very friendly, he explained every detail regarding materials that he is going to use.
I’m really satisfied about my new suit. it is even more than I expected.
I would recommend Blair to anyone

Blair is awesome!
I got my first suit done here (made-​to-​measure); I came in to the shop just 2 weeks before I needed the suit and Blair expedited the tailoring process, and even going out of way to modify the lower back for free! Everything is perfect and I will definitely come back!

I emailed blair pictures of two different tuxedos and told him I wanted a mix between the two suits and in linen instead of wool. he promptly emailed me back to say he could do it and come in in a few days.
Well, i got exactly what I asked for and it was beyond expectations.
He was in between expanding the store, but still managed to get the suit made in a decent amount of time (i suspect it would have been done much sooner if not for this. construction is done and the new store looks great.)
thanks Blair!

This is a first class operation. I’m in Vancouver on business this week, and live in New York. Picked up a blue pinstripe suit and double breasted blazer a couple weeks ago; didn’t have time for alterations before leaving for Vancouver. Went in to see Blair this morning, and was impressed by his knowledge of line and experience in the industry. Looking forward to seeing the results.

I had a small hole/​tear in one of my suit jacket arms and the amazing tailors at Blair’s weaved their magic and mended things back to near brand new. And at a good price.
Good service and great value.

Fantastic! Had 2 suits fitted. Perfectly.
Blair went out of his way to make it as inexpensive as possible. He saved me money and made me look awesome.

I thought I was done updating, but apparently, I’m not.
I got a call from Blair roughly three weeks after I picked up my completed suit. He wanted to know whether I was completely satisfied with my suit or not. I’m glad he called because I was wondering about two small alterations.
1. The sleeve length was about ¼ inch too long
2. I neglected to ask for pick stitching around both sleeve openings of the jacket.
Blair more than happily corrected the length and added the extra fine detail of the pick stitch on the sleeve opening.
It’s the subtle details…, really, it is.

Great job!
I love my suit. Whole experience was very good, people are easy to work and at the end I got best suit I have ever had.
I would recommend Blair to anyone!

Blair Shapera is a phenomenal tailor. I recently took one of my Zegna suits from a few years back in to Blair for a full re-​cut. The original tailor butchered the suit, so it just sat in my closet for a few years. Blair took a look and was confident he could make it wearable again. A few weeks later and I have a brand new Zenga suit in the wardrobe, he did an amazing job, better than I expected and I know where I will be going for all my tailoring or custom clothes. At first, he quoted me $ 300 as he was literally re-​doing every piece on the suit, I picked it up last Friday and he only ended up charging $ 180, which is always nice. I also popped in last week with a hole in my peacoat pocket, and 10 minutes later they had it stitched up at no cost…
When it comes to suits, you cannot put a price on an excellent tailor, especially in this city. Now that I have found one, I will be taking all my suits here. I recommend Blair 10 times over!
