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. If you are too busy to visit The Tailored Man, while in Montreal and Laval, you may now order your tailored made shirts on line from their web site. To launch this new concept, they are offering you, for a limited time only, the reduced price of $95 per shirts, instead of $125. This offer is only on select fabrics. You can also now sign up for their Birthday Club.

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. Here are some of the prices this time:

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.

Rodal’s  has been,  for the past 60 or so years, the go-to store for anything Jewish. Today it is a mixture of Old World and fun items, with a bit of artistry thrown in. So yes, you can get a traditional satin kippah, or a knit one, suede, velvet, baby size or one with drawings, but also artist hand-crafted  fused glass signed serving platters. There’s tefillin and tallesim, of course, (and even some for women!).

Objects for traditional needs line the walls, such as wine cups, challah knives and platters, pitchers, torah pointers, shabbat candlesticks, shofars and hundreds of mezuzahs ($.99 – $250) which come in metal, glass, stone, wood and silver.

Artists have created some of these items. Gary Rosenthal’s fused glass and metal mezuzahs, menorahs and  tzedakah boxes can be bought, along with some by Sara Baames. Anat Mayer’s signed laser cut aluminum candlesticks, mezuzahs, knives and serving platters are here along with challah covers handprinted by artisans.

Kids can settle in in the rear at  the table and chairs and watch a  DVD. They can shop for toys – plush torahs, aleph bet rulers, wooden puzzles or  “Dance with Uncle Moishy” CD’s.

If you are looking for Jewish wall art, home blessings, all kinds of Jewish music,  Israeli movies, Israeli flags, aleph bet ice cube molds, they’re all here – where else would you find the kugelach toy?

And we musn’t forget the wall of books: benchers, Chabad, siddur, tehillim,  Mussar, ethics, mitzvat, halacha, history, Israel, prophets, torah, commentaries, parenting, marriage, Jewish life cycle, kabbalah, chassidus Tanya, fiction and young adult.

Along with helpful customer service, there’s free gift wrapping, and delivery on the island is only $5.
