Since 1969, The Tailored Man has been coming to North America fitting men (and women too) with made-to-measure suits at Hong Kong’s prices. Since the US dollar has soared against the Canadian dollar (and they charge in US dollars), they are offering a 15% off promotion right now.

6 shirts $350 US
2 suits & 2 shirts $1230 US
3 pairs of slacks & 1 shirts $595 US
1 suit, vest & shirt $795 US
2 blazers & 2 shirts $875 US
Topcoats start at $900

The suits come with extras you don’t usually see in North American stores: sweat shields, cell phone pockets and the pants have a heel guard and knee lining. When you order a shirt, you choose collar, style, cuff and monogram.

Why should you shop at Codell Audio and not be enticed by the big box stores? Codell Audio, in business for 43 years, will meet or beat big box store pricing (except for the 2 weeks or so during the year when the big guys offer power buy specials or offer exclusive products). Every day though, Codell Audio will provide better advice and solutions as their experienced staff members have all been in the business for more than 15 years.

They will always integrate and install your purchase professionally and properly – and – many times it will cost less than the big box stores. Their after sales service is just what the customer wants: no questions asked, prompt, courteous and efficient.

In televisions, they offer Sony and Samsung. For high end audio and speakers, they carry 30 brands http://codellaudio.com/Products.htm and all are in stock. Before you buy you can try out the speakers in one of their sound rooms. They carry a large selection of headphones.

For the film enthusiast ( or you), they also set up home theaters and projection systems. They wire and install Smart Home Systems for sound, lighting, HVAC and security cameras.

They are happy to do repairs whether it is for TV’s, speakers, amps, or turntables. Custom installation is available for your home or business including acoustic room treatments

They carry pre-owned audio equipment for sale (even record albums, cartridges and turntables) and they also offer trade-ins and consignment sales.

If you are selling off an estate or clearing out a home, they do all the work to research for the true value of your audio items and try to sell them for you (all they need is the model number). So don’t throw anything awqay before calling them. This service is especially useful to evaluate vintage audio gear.

Well let’s see – you can pay full price for gold jewelry in full-price retail stores downtown or you can go up to Bijouterie Oro, a wholesaler, and save half your money. Since 1987, this 3rd generation jeweler has been selling wholesale, and now is open up to the public. Lucky us.

There is lots of golden stock to choose amongst, more than you would see in your small local jewelry store. You could go nutsy over the vast assortment of gold hoop earrings – they sell them by weight. You can select amongst the 100’s of chains; they are strong in 2-tone and 3-colors of gold from Italy or Turkey. There’s 14-carat Italian chain bracelets too, and lots of little religious pendants.

If you want to buy illusion diamond studs, they have those too. These earrings give the illusion of a whole stone, but are made up of little ones – for a much littler price.

If you have an older diamond (or any other precious stone) ring and you’d like to change it into something more modern, they can show you trays and trays of semi-mounts (that’s what your stone sits in), so you can see exactly what the ring will look like – it can even be tried on. You can take jewelry which has been just sitting in a jewelry box and have it re-modeled.

Bijouterie Oro still does local manufacturing, so they can reproduce a piece of jewelry from a photo. And they can repair your broken jewelry too.

If you decide to have something made from scratch, it would take only two weeks from the time you walk in the door until you happily present it to Mom.
