The House of Salgado – Behind the Scenes

The House of Salgado is a family run, custom men’s tailor and shirt maker located in the TD Tower on Bay Street.  The clientele is all business, men with fashion sense and class who prefer handmade suits to common thrift.  This place is a staple in the business community, with many of its clients positioned in some of Toronto’s most powerful jobs.  Mark and his father, Antonio, both tend to their shop by outfitting their customers in the latest and most exquisite fabrics in the world.  Even the boxes that the linens come in are expensive and extravagant!  If you are a first-time buyer, the Salgados encourage you to make an appointment so that you can be properly measured and have enough time to select your colours and materials.  This experience can take upwards of an hour if you consider that the House of Salgado not only makes suits and shirts, but also shoes!  And ladies, this is a great place to get your man suited up for your wedding.  Start off 2008 with new clothing fit for royalty but made exactly in your measurements.  You’ll come out looking like the next big Bay Street broker.
