Smells like fish, but you really can't beat the prices they offer

Purchased a Perry Ellis suit for $125 ($141.25 taxes in) the other day. Great selection, can't beat the prices.

My buddy actually bought 5 suits for $507 taxes in. Unbelievable.

And yes, the store does smell like fish, but for the price, it's well worth it.

Agreed. I bought an Armani sports jacket for 140 and a suit for the same. The suit would have cost easily 400 elsewhere. Plus-side is they bring out an onsite tailor to ensure the measurements are correct.

Tom's has a large selection of suits and coats -- most are your average department store stuff, some are old-style European, and a few are diamonds-in-the-rough. For the latter reason this place is worth a visit. I have to say, however, that the staff there are real car salesmen, and they really get on my nerve.

Agree of the high pressure sales pitch...not needed and a real pain
I guess the staff are on commission.....went to pick up a couple of shirts - fast in and out - next thing I know, sales guys are showing me ties, socks, all kinds of crap

PO'd me so much, I walked out - great prices but older styles....the real issue at this stroe are the obnoxious sales reps

Just in the store. Just terrible quality. BlogTO needs moderation when it comes to ridiculous suggestions like this one.

It smells like fish, hmm, ok?! But once you take the suit home, does it smell like fish as well?

When I first moved to Toronto in 1995 from the Maritimes for my first Bay Street job, I was directed to go here as a place to get my suits up to "Upper Canadian" snuff.

Though the price was right, the selection certainly was not. There may be diamonds in the rough here, and if your suit needs are for lower quality items that would be suitable for a car salesman or door to door sales, it is not a place to go for the professional.

Picked up two suits there, one Canadian no-name for $525 and one Italian-made for $1,150. The Italian suit was nice but probably not worth as much. The Canadian suit was just average. Salespeople are a-holes, truly used car salesmen. All merch is stickered ridiculously high; when you get a discount, it's from the stupid sticker price. And you have to bargain hard for it.

Do not go there, it's a freakin scam.

By the way, all these crazy deals - 3, 4, 5 for 1 - only apply to old-style crap on the first floor. Modern styles and better quality are on the second floor, but it's all really overpriced.

Sounds like someplace I will make a point of avoiding.

... hardly a scam! They do play the old lower the price from the sticker to make you feel special but the lower price generally makes their stuff very attractive when compared to similar suits at Harry Rosen and other higher end stores. Bought some good Boss and Strellson there lately for a hundred to two hundred dollars under what I have paid for the same quality Boss at HR. The plus of being able to get your stuff tailored within a reasonable timeframe (unlike some of the higherend places unless you know someone there) seals the deal for me!

Great place if you need a suit on a budget. Take the time to look through a lot of different suits, you'll find one to match your taste. Never went for the 5 for 1 deals, just always grabbed one at a decent price.
