Maxwell’s Clothiers in Montrea l- 3 Locations for 9 Days
Maxwell’s Clothiers is a 2nd generation Hong Kong family run business which twice a year (since 1961), in March and September, rents banquet halls in Ruby Foo’s Hotel, one in Laval and then for another 4 days downtown to sell their shirts and suits. I have visited their elegant showroom in Hong Kong to see how the shirts and suits are made.
They make it easy for us to shop as they fly here and bring their expertise to us with a team of tailors who can fit men and women for custom-tailored suits, jackets, pants, overcoats and shirts. For 3 custom-made cotton shirts, it’s only $165 plus tax and shipping (about $35) and that could be for the sea-island cotton (luscious), Egyptian cotton, or pinpoint Oxford or 3,000 fabric choices.
Suits go for $495 – $795 and orders take about 10 weeks to arrive. A local tailor has been hired to do any little alterations that may be necessary. No appointments are necessary – just show up and bring your friends.
