When in Vancouver, BC....

Have Bill & Jack Wong make you a suit. I have two suits that they have made. These cats are the real deal, fellas. They've been doing this since the 1930's.

Have you posted pics of your suits?

 

[Chas]

Not yet, but I will.

They're something of a legend up here!!

 

[Matt Deckard]

As with any suits custom made, I look forward to the pics.

whats the damage? $$$ & so close to 2.

Actually, the suits are almost ridiculously underpriced. I recall having paid about $800 CDN for this
about 6 years ago.

But Matt is right of course. Only pictures will tell the story.

I also have two pairs of 1930's style wide-cuff trousers and a 40s Style Western Jacket that they made. That's summer weight, ergo in storage. No pics of that on hand.

I am going to have them make THIS for me today. I will get a price quote, and if anyone wants to know what it will cost, pm me. It's gonna be single breasted, perhaps flap pockets. The material will be chosen from "the stash"....

Modernize Tailors

Chas,
I'm amazed. I didn't know that Modernize Tailors was still around. I missed them when they closed down their Carrall Street store. I"ll see if they can make me a period Tango suit.
