Sydney’s

Sydney’s is great. Customer service can’t be beat. I bought 2 pairs of slim fitting cotton pants this past weekend. They were on sale and Sydney’s still offered to hem them for no charge — amazing!
I was a little worried when I picked them up. They fit perfectly — stylishly short — but I was worried they would be too short if they shrink after washing. They offered to redo the hems right there & then. Same day service!
I felt like a jerk for causing them extra work but they jumped right to it and didn’t make me feel like I was the bad guy. Class act!

Simply put, Best Suit I have ever owned. Even better shopping experience.
Went to Sydney’s to create a suit for my wedding. After having a few suits made by Large retailers — I was referred to Sydney’s by a friend. I was immediately impressed. Dealing with Sydney and his staff was amazing. They were very friendly, didn’t make you feel out of place, explained the entire process and was very honest in his recommendations. It started with the choice of fabrics, I explained the look i was going for and he guided me in the right direction. Then at the first measurement he explained the best way to create the suit in order for the suit to fit my body type. In the end the suit was perfect, I also got my Bow-​tie custom ordered and matching suspenders and a pair of Allen Edmond’s Shoes to complete the look.
All in all I wouldn’t look anywhere to get any suit you need made.

Went in here after seeing it listed consistently as one of the top men’s clothing stores in Toronto, but was very disappointed in the selection. We were asked for help a few times, but a quick walk through the store failed to reveal anything even remotely interesting. Maybe this particular boutique just doesn’t mesh with my sense of style. I had much better luck at Gotstyle at Bathurst & Wellington.

Unique approach to Toronto fashion. Good buying and love Kin, their private label.

Sydney’s is where as a sugar momma I would take my beloveds to shop there! To dress them up in suits and jeans in those slim European style cutting.
Nice selections of casual wears and suits that they will alternate to be fitted perfectly. The salesperson here are professional and well dressed! And I don’t know why I kept smelling this pleasant scent while I was browsing the store…
Price is on the expensive side. but don’t I want my beloveds be dressed like they are right out from the European GQ magzine!
What caught my eyes is the cute little doggie in the hand knitted wool cardigan… hey even dogs are dressed so classy at Sydney’s!

Hands down my favorite men’s clothing boutique in Toronto.
While most women dream of a super-​sized closet full of Manolo Blanik and Christian Louboutin, a guy like me fantasizes about having a closet like Sydney’s showroom. A wardrobe filled with beautifully designed, top quality and classic styling.
I’m crazy about the design concept of the store. The simple white walls, copper ceiling and rustic display furniture allow the merchandise to speak for itself. Obviously the owner had carefully selected designer pieces that would amalgamate well with the in-​store label, Kin.
The store collections are all about simplicity and minimalism. Each design is like a piece of art with high craftsmanship. They look amazing on their own, and even better when injected with your individuality. Sydney’s also has great selection of denim, like Naked and Famous, Them Altelier and Rick Owens. Along with a small selection of awesome looking shoes, bags and small leather goods.
I bought a great looking in-​house label suit. The owner/​designer was terrific and helpful. He took the time to explain his design, the fabric, as well as the overall construction of the suit. He didn’t stop there, he showed me how great the suit would look after alterations. «Look at that, I had no idea that a suit could make my backside looks this good.» Sold! Wrap that baby up!

I’m not a particularly good clothes shopper. I’m not sure a lot of guys are Never really knowing what’s actually good, or good looking, and getting sucked into a a lot of bland places, I tend not to buy really interesting things. But then there’s Sydney’s.
This place is great. The staff is friendly and helpful, and best of all the clothes are interesting. They really focus on imported denims and other fabrics from Japan and other places, but there’s quite a bit of other things in the store.
I’ve bought a couple pairs of jeans here, as well as a really nice shirt, which I was trying to find another one of today, but they won’t have them in until next season.
They will measure and tailor right to order, so now I’m picking up my new purchase next week. And I’m excited. The staff encouraged me to be a little out of my comfort zone, trying something that was a little different, but not so much that I’m going to change my style, just because a store sales person was trying to make the sale.
I agree with the reviewer who said it’s like an old-​time store, but with great modern clothing. Definitely worth heading to if you want to find some great jeans or other things.
There isn’t a lot of colours here — mostly blacks and greys, but who needs other colours?

My favourite clothing shop in Toronto. Without Sydney’s I would be forced to purchase all of my clothing online. They carry an ever-​evolving array of designers that, although aesthetically different, all share the same values … which is a clear understanding of the value of understatement. It’s clear that Sydney also understands the finer points of men’s clothing and the labels that he carries reflects this. The prices are comparable to what you would pay if you purchased the same clothing online or in NYC. I hope Sydney’s is here to stay.

This is my favorite clothing boutique and I am reviewing it mainly as a, umm, corrective to other reviews here. Sydney’s is notable for several things: first it provides the elsewhere remarked upon custom jeans service, which while expensive, will leave you in possession of a beautiful for-​life level of durable and totally *yours* pair of denim trousers. This is good service to have available in the city, even if it is not at the moment your particular bag. Likewise, I recently purchased a nice simple (relatively) cheap black suit here. While the trousers fit me perfectly, the suit itself needed a few adjustments, actually quite a bit more than I would have been comfortable with at any other tailor, but Sydney is a ‘suit wizard’ and for only around 85 $ on top of the price of the suit I have a jacket that fits me perfectly.
Besides the custom tailoring option, Sydney’s has one of the most discriminating buyer’s around, someone who every season provides a selection of clothes that embody some very important principles: they are modern, and i don’t mean contemporary or ‘hip’, I mean, they embody ideas of modernism, they are sleek, often monochrome, with clean lines and a lack of excessive accoutrements. This is very important to me, and, I imagine, to a lot of other potential shoppers. I don’t want clothing that will look out of date… well, ever. Look at a picture of Samuel Beckett in the 20’s, or 30’s, or 40’s or… etc. Always sharp, always clean lines, never once would have looked unfashionable on a street in Toronto or NY today. Sydney’s stocks these sorts of clothes.

Remember the old days when men went to stores and had suits tailored to their bodies and beautiful, brimmed bowlers handmade to fit… Neither do I. But I think Sydney does.
Stepping into Sydney’s tiny men’s boutique on Queen St… I noticed the ancient Singer sewing machine on display and felt like any second Rock Hudson was going to walk up to me and my male companion to sell us some freshly cobbled shoes. But instead a 19 year old twink skipped towards us to push us into buying some ill-​fitting shirts from his «favorite» line, Ben Sherman.
The store does carry a discerning collection of (to speak euphemistically) slight-man’s clothing but beware brawny-​man this is not the store for you. I should mention, Sydney’s specialty is handmade and made-​to-​measure jeans but if you are in a rush to get them, better rush to the nearest Jean Machine. I have a friend who has been waiting over a year for his.
