Canadian Fans in Sochi, Russia

Here's a look at a couple of suits that Balsam Custom Tailors made for two brothers, Greg and James, in collaboration with clothing designer, Ash Turner of Organic Mechanic:

David, Our Retro Hero!

Meet our new face for this month's suit modeling competition. It's David Hahlen for Balsam Custom Tailors versus all the other Vancouver males out there.

When it comes to men's style, David is like a breath of fresh air. He's got a unique sense of style coupled with a great personality. He came in with ideas inspired by vintage suits he saw online. VINTAGE! I. Love. Vintage. Anything!

I immediately spotted in this guy the potential to look amazing! Even though David had his ideas, he was still open to our suggestions about what would look best on him. He wanted a classic 3-piece suit to wear for his wedding (that is to take place next week--congratulations again!) and plus fifty other more weddings he'll be attending this year.

We like David. I like David. David is a great guy. If today wasn't the Federal Election Day but the Best Dressed Man of the Year Election Day and David was a candidate, he'd be getting MY vote ;)

I would also like to mention that I was absolutely blown away with David's modelling skills. He just got into position, at the snap of a finger, hesitation-free. If you're a modelling agency and you're reading this, David is your MAN!

In our eyes, David had already won first place. We presented him this little humble gift of retro cufflinks. I thought they matched his style perfectly. Actually, we gave him these because he had walked in with flapping French cuffs. I thought he looked really silly. He'd fractured his precious glass ones unfortunately.

Thank you David for letting Balsam Tailors share you with the world! We hope to see you again soon. :)

Custom 3-piece Suit: $1060+ (HST not included)

The Rossi's Rock! (Part 2)

While Jacob ranks high on the handsome scale wearing his new custom suit, his dad Moreno, sits solidly at the top. Moreno's suit is made out of a ribbed texture wool cloth that makes it slightly more interesting than a plain old black suit. Excellent choice, I say!

May I point your attention to his impeccable taste in hats? Tell me, who knows style more than a man clad in a sleek custom suit, topped off with a fedora on his head?

Cloth #: RKC 6022

Moreno's custom suit price: $780 + HST

Thank you Rossi's for letting me show you guys off!
