From the moment you enter Trend Custom Tailors, it becomes apparent that Don Lee is an artist. The ever-evolving décor highlights much of his artistic brilliance and creativity. I must point out that this is not an alteration service where one brings their pants to be taken up an inch. This is a true Bespoke tailor shop where you will receive a personalized consultation with the tailor who will be cutting the cloth you choose, hanging your sleeves, and fitting you in your new suit at the end. The shop features glass work that the proprietor has had commissioned from students in the arts at Ryerson — one way in which he contributes back to the community, custom made iron work around the windows from local craftsmen and women, not to mention his own paintings, sculptures, and murals that demonstrate his varied artistic talents and usually incorporate a captivating blend of contrast and texture regardless of the medium. Don’s passion for art and eye for fashion is carried into every garment that he makes. I have trusted Don to choose materials and patterns for me in a very consultative manner, giving him free artistic licence on the finished product, and I have never been let down. I love the way I feel in my suits from Trend. They fit perfectly. It is also nice to get frequent compliments on my shirts and suits. I’m often asked where I bought my shirts and suits, which is a great compliment to Trend’s finished product. I’m pretty shocked to have come across such polarized opinions of this business on Unilocal.What does NOT shock me is that both negative reviewers share something in common: a total of one review each on Unilocal.I would disregard them. If you’re looking for a fantastic bespoke suit, my advice is that you make an appointment with Trend and go see for yourself what all the hype is about. You will not be disappointed.

Don is making a suit for my upcoming wedding in May and the experience so far has been nothing but extremely wonderful and pleasant! Don is simply amazing — he is an artist and his pieces just speak for themselves. If I could give him 10-stars I would! Don’s team is also simply wonderful. From the moment you walk in they welcome you and make you feel at home. Their attention to detail and professionalism is amazing. I highly recommend Don when you’re out looking to get a suit made — it is definitely well worth it and I will definitely be back again for more clothing! BTW — I am a woman and he specializes not only in men’s wear but in women’s suits as well. He is rare gem in Toronto and ladies the suits are amazing! He is also in the process of remodelling a floor in his new location just for ladies! So please if you’re looking for your next suit, consider Don! You won’t be disappointed!

Im going to keep this short and civil. My experience at Trend was not as pleasant as the previous review. I find the services were subpar and the proprietors conduct was unprofessional. Not recommended.

Here I go again writing a review that will probably come back to bite me. Trend Custom Tailors is one of those rare finds you only tell your good friends about because you don’t want the secret to get out and the place get too busy, but we’re all friends at Unilocal so why not. If there were 10 stars, I would hands down give Don(Don Fabien Lee, the owner) a full ten stars. His level of professionalism, artistry, and fashion knowhow is unmatched. All his work is tailored to your unique style, from completely conservative to the most daring of looks, but what Don does exceptionally is take conventional formal attire and fuse it with a modern, trendy flare, call it contemporary with an edge. And it so happens that style fits my taste. You can expect friendly personal attention, impeccable work, and the highest quality clothing you’ve ever owned, without the stuffy atmosphere and outrageous price tags. I’m not saying it’s cheap but you can get a bespoke suit of better quality for comparable or lower price than the European off-the-rack suits at a Harry or Holts. Nothing I write will really do it justice; you can only understand what I mean once you put on that first suit Don makes for you. You will never go back. In fact I no longer have any use for Harry, Holt, or any of the other stores where you’re supposed to buy your quality work /formal attire. I don’t plan on buying a suit, jacket, shirt, or pants off the rack ever again.
