So, we went here after remembering that it's been a staple in the city forever. Wanted a good suit. Something a bit modern, different from what the average suit store sells. first impression: awesome. Greeted by Tom at the door. Welcomed us, directed us as to the layout of the store. Went directly upstairs to where the "best" suits are. Were met by an older female sales associate. Told her what we had in mind. She did not ask what our budget was. Started pulling options, some of which were reasonable, given what we had described to her. But nothing really stood out. The way we see

I am a graduate in need of suits. Unsure where to start, I went online and read some good things about this place.
Went to purchase two suits. Picked up the suits two weeks later with agreed alterations done which was pricey $50-75 per suit. When I went to go pick it up and try on the suits, the pants were too tight and needed further alterations. The next set of alterations were done in less than 20 minutes and the work reflects it. Not a lot of care was done in the inside of the pants and it looks all mangled up.
The tailoring job was very quick and it was meh in my opinion. They did a very

Very welcoming, the team greets you right off the bat and makes sure you have someone to help find the perfect suit. Conscious of price range and size, they help guide you through various options, and the staff are well-educated about proper fit and work to find the perfect suit for each person. I've been here twice for suits and treated well each time. Would definitely recommend.

Tom's place has a huge selection of suits. I went with my boyfriend today to take a look. The associate that was helping made us feel so pressured that we had to make up an excuse to leave. Even when we said we had to go, he tried to take us to another area of the store to keep looking. He asked where we would look elsewhere and when we told him Suit Supply in Yorkville he went on to bash the place and how it was nothing compared to Tom's Place. Additionally, the associate made no suggestions or offered any helpful information, he just told my boyfriend every suit he put on looked perfect

I've heard about this place from friends over the years and now needing a new suit, I decided to see what the fuss was about. Well worth it!!
Incredible service. Great selection. I thought I'd be in there for at least an hour but I was in, found a perfect suit, the tailor measured me and out in half an hour.
Well done. I highly recommend Tom's!

2.5 Stars. The store is very large with two levels (doesn't really look it from the outside) and the selection is huge! Service was variable, some staff were better than others. All were very eager to get a sale and my fiance did feel a bit of pressure. Nonetheless we spent about $800 on a suit here for our wedding.
Where most of the stars were lost was the alterations process. It took over a month for minor alterations, and my fiance is not happy with the work. He had a bad feeling when the tailor came out and roughly made a few chalk marks (took less than 2 minutes to do so). We decided

I went with family to buy a few suits we needed for an upcoming wedding. Found a great one for myself and paid 450 for it, we bought an additional 3 for the rest of my family so i guess they gave us a good discount for the bunch. But mine definitely required work on the jacket and pants to make them more fitting. I got that done at my own tailor for $140. The one thing i found uncomfortable was that the salesmen stick to you like glue, and while one was really helpful, the other one just wanted to make a quick sale and got sassy in the end when he lost the sale.

I hadn't planned on visiting, but I was in the area to have lunch with friends and one of them suggested checking it out when I mentioned I was looking for outfits for my groomsmen.
There were a ton of staff just inside the entrance, but they seemed friendly enough, and directed me upstairs when I told them what I was looking for. A guy named Sasha ended up talking to me, and it was one of the most bizarre, one-sided conversations I've ever had.

Pretty good experience overall.
I was served by John who greeted me at the door asking me what kind of suit I was looking for. He was friendly, personable, and knew what he was doing. We were able to find the right suit for me on my first try and I'm happy with the purchase! However after looking at the brand of my suit, I am under the impression that their "discounts" are only there to make it seem like you're getting a bargain, when in reality you're just paying the regular price if it were at another store.

Selection is pretty damn fantastic.
However I don't know why Yelp or Torontonians in general think this place is affordable.
Men's pants *start* at $165.
Suits *start* at $700.
Last time I went I couldn't find a decent shirt under $200
I do think for the quality they provide that those are reasonable prices, however I would hardly call it anywhere near affordable.
Certainly not Hermes prices, but I think the affordable reputation in Toronto is unearned.
That having been said the selection is absolutely outstanding. If you want to find something, you are going to find it here

Close to perfect.
Went to Harry Rosen, holt and renfrew, saks, Hudson Bay, strellson, brooks brothers. Couldn't believe the prices. What's the difference between a three thousand dollar tux and a thousand dollar one? None that justify the price difference. If you can buy the most inexpensive tux that looks good and feels good, do so. If you can buy an Italian made (Pal Zileri) tux, which also happened to be the most stylish and distinctive tux you've tried over the past two days, even better. If it costs less than nine hundred, super. If the salesman is knowledgeable and helpful

You know, I've always judged Tom's Place to be a lower quality spot - similar to Moore's.
I was pleasantly surprised to have experienced something completely different. While they don't carry the same selection as Holt's or Harry Rosen's, they do carry a similar selection but at significantly lower price points.
My end view of Tom's is it's a great place for accessorizing. So if you need bowties, tux shirts, or the rare dress shirt with collar bar, you might want to stop here. But i wouldn't recommend getting entirely suited up here.

Went in to shop the special deals and instead was continually given items that were 3 times the price and not on sale, even after showing the gentleman the advertised special on my phone.
Very disappointing and not good practice. I knew what I wanted, how much I wanted to spend, mentioned and displayed the advertised specisl, and was not accommodated.

I was super impressed by this place. Instead of trying to gouge me on price they were very honest about each suit's quality - including mentioning that unless I have several suits I shouldn't go too high on thread quality (which is inherently more expensive) because it will ware down easily. See my man Dez - old school dude who knows his stuff, is pretty entertaining (perhaps unintentionally) and was super patient while I deliberated over 5 different suits.
Tom knocked off the tag price for a sale I didn't even know about and out of goodwill gave me a discount on tailoring because

I'm sure glad I read the reviews for Tom's Place after I had already made my purchase - I feel like some of the negative feedback might have scared me off of the place entirely. That being said, I'd received enough personal recommendations from both family and friends that I made the trek into Kensington last week to look for a suit, three days before a wedding.
Now I don't pretend to know everything, or really anything, about suits. I know roughly what's in style and what is out of style. Slim cut, IN, box cut, OUT, Thin over wide lapels, and so on. For the purists who

They will rip you off!
I bought a jacket in which the guy told me it was $450.00 - thinking I'm a good barterer I got them down to $300.00. Afterwards I took it to a guy who used to be in a similar business where he told me they ripped me off - there were no prices on the jacket, no labels as to what the jacket is made of etc. except that it was made for Tom's Place. They will supposedly call Tom to see if he will go down to a better price but I doubt anyone was on the other end.
You can do much better at so many other places in Toronto but if you do go please do so with your eyes

I came here a little while back. The salesman brought me 2 options for suits, and both were terrible. He said they don't have anything that's big enough for me. This was odd, since I'm average height, and even if I may be a little on the chubby side (especially during the cold Canadian winter), I'm by no means the largest guy to ever buy a suit. To add insult to injury, the salesman even said that no place would have a suit for me, and that I would have to have one tailor made. Needless to say, I was totally embarrassed.
