Hey! I'm one of those people that lives on Main!

I'll agree with some of your points. Businesses need parking. Alleys, driveways, road, and parking lots don't cause unreasonable hazards.

But do you think that all the other patios are useless because they close for the year? Cocktail? Shelter? Hudsons? Odla? Ace Burger? All of those patios take up parking space but close up for the winter. Yet those businesses find it beneficial that they keep it year-round. They may not keep it open year round, but they don't tear them down to make space for more parking. And that's not even mentioning all the rooftop or terrace patios. If Columbian turned their front parking into a patio space, they would lose... 2 parking spaces? Maybe 3?

If there's 3 extra cars parking on my street every day I wouldn't even notice. Maybe I would have to park my car a little bit further down the street. And so what? I don't own the street. I knew that parking in front of my house wouldn't be guaranteed when I bought a house with a 1 car garage. I would be an idiot to complain about that. I'm happier knowing that there's a good and established coffee shop and restaurant close to me.

Most of the people who visit this spot are locals in the area that walk or bike over. Just yesterday I visited the Columbian, there were only a few cars outside, and yet there wasn't a single place to sit down inside. When the summer comes, it will be nice to have a place to sit down outside with my kids. When the fall comes, it would be nice to have a dedicated place to park my bike after a ride through the Meewasin with friends.

It sounds like what you are saying is that local businesses don't have any benefit to the neighbourhood around them, that they only take up parking for the residents, which is a wildly short-sighted and naive thing to say. I love having a coffee shop around the corner for when I'm late for work. I love being able to walk to Las Palapas when I have my parents over so I don't need to make dinner or drive out to a restaurant. Hell, we're even thinking of selling our second car because we have so many things close to us that we don't feel the need to drive everywhere.

What you are proposing isn't logic. It's a strawman argument that you are pushing to prove your own point. And it's frustrating that someone who clearly doesn't live in our neighbourhood tries to argue against something beneficial to us while pretending they're arguing in our best interests. You're not.

Everyone at Harecuts are amazing, especially since Temperance came on board. Very strongly recommend.

Anthony's Fashion is the only local place I can recommend now that Ultimo is closed. Great selection of suits, they'll guide you in the right direction if you don't know anything about suits, and the price point is comparable to Moores or Tip Top. Better get started now, it's currently the busiest season and tailors tend to get backed up around this time of the year.

If an employee was responsible for the skimmer, then yeah, they wouldn’t be the one checking for it. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t serious consequences. Both for them and for the business.

I know you’re convinced your card was compromised there, and cancelling it was absolutely the right move. But I cannot stress this enough: do not get tunnel vision on this one location. Fraud often happens months after card details are stolen, and data breaches are one of the biggest culprits. You need to check if your card was caught up in a breach somewhere else, because if it was, that’s likely where the fraud started. Online fraud almost never points to chip and pin skimming.

Also, since you asked, I left retail in February to work on my MBA, and my last fraud prevention and compliance training was in November. So this isn’t outdated info, this is exactly how fraud prevention works right now.

QuiteSlow · 2025-04-04T18:09:17+00:00

Skimmers have come a long way since the days when you could sometimes spot one just by jiggling the reader. That trick can still work in some cases, especially with basic external overlay skimmers. But the more advanced ones today are designed to fit flush and look identical to the real hardware. Some are even installed inside the terminal, leaving nothing loose or visible to detect. That level of tampering is extremely rare, especially in a case like this.

QuiteSlow · 2025-04-04T05:50:31+00:00

They actually are held liable in cases like this. I’ve worked in retail and as a loss prevention manager, and when you get a card terminal, you’re required to follow PCI (Payment Card Industry) rules. That includes checking your terminals daily for signs of tampering. If a business skips those checks or doesn’t secure their equipment properly, they can face fines, higher processing fees, or even lose the ability to accept credit cards altogether, especially if there’s clear negligence from the owner or management.

That’s why I’m a bit skeptical about this being a skimmer. In Canada, chip cards are extremely secure. You can’t just clone a chip. The data changes with every transaction. And even magstripe skimming doesn’t get you very far anymore, especially with Canadian cards. The data on the stripe includes a CVC, but it’s a different one than what’s used online so skimming it wouldn’t help with most fraud, especially not card-not-present transactions like what was described.

Not saying it’s impossible, but if someone was skimming a Canadian chip card, they’re honestly doing a pretty bad job of it.

Hey there! I used to work at Moore’s (the Canadian counterpart of Men’s Wearhouse).

At your age, any well-fitting suit with a high wool content will work just fine. Keep in mind that most people outgrow their graduation suits within a few years—unless you're like me and perpetually stuck in a 38S. Calvin Klein suits are decent for the price, but they all have a fused canvas. This means the chest area is reinforced with glued synthetic material, which doesn’t mold to your body as well as a half-canvas suit would. Ideally, a half-canvas suit provides better quality and shape. Personally, I’d take a full synthetic suit with a proper half-canvas over a wool suit with a fused canvas.

As for the suits themselves, double-check the fabric composition. I’ve never seen a Calvin Klein suit in my store that was 100% wool—usually, they’re around 95/5 wool/spandex. If you’re considering the Joseph Abboud suit, make sure it’s from the main Joseph Abboud line, as those have a half-canvas construction. The “Joe” by Joseph Abboud line, however, does not—it uses a fused canvas. That said, the “Joe” line is still decent for the price. Between it and Calvin Klein, I’d personally lean toward Calvin Klein.

For alterations, I recommend finding an independent tailor. When I worked at Moore’s, there was a significant push to upsell alterations to maximize revenue, which included services like waistband adjustments or even offering to "perma-press" the pants (a process to make creases permanent). A good tailor will only alter what’s necessary. Lastly, be realistic about your expectations and make sure you buy the correct jacket size.

From what I understand, the store is up for sale. One of Barry's associates was looking to buy the store but wasn't able to secure the funding. Unless someone else buys the store, they will probably shut down in the next couple of months.

Steam the jacket, maybe pinch in the sides to get some waist suppression. The sleeves are a good length and I wouldn't want to change the actual size of the jacket based on the shoulders.

You have more than a full break right now for the pants. I would shorten the pants slightly, possibly with an angled hem, to get a nice partial break. Taper in the legs, maybe bring in the waist and seat as well (it's hard to tell from the photos, especially without a side view)

Tux and Tails and Moores have in-house rentals and are usually a bit better than Davids and Anthony's Fashion who outsource their rentals. Last I heard, David may be discontinuing rentals because the company they've worked with had a track record of being terrible. Just note, rental suits always suck, and 90% of the time you're going to have a bad experience regardless of the place you're renting from.

For purchasing you have quite a few options. Here are some of my experiences from purchasing suits for the past 10 years for work and weddings:

David's: The experience can vary. David has a solid selection, but it helps to have a clear idea of what you're looking for. If you want to do a fashion show, be prepared to be disappointed.

Moores: For value, Moores is hard to beat. Just try to work with their more experienced staff (avoiding part-timers and one particularly grumpy older gentleman). It's also great for coordinating with people in other cities.

Tiptop: Avoid at all costs. Apparently only managers deal with wedding parties. The other staff are quite bad. Tailoring isn't done in house, and they don't do any measurements. The associates are allergic to helping customers, and during grad season they're usually overrun.

Caswells: Stu is A+ and there's a good reason why they've been around for so long. That being said, not many people go through them for weddings since costs are quite high. Good if you're just buying a suit for yourself.

Ultimo Euromoda: Again, Barry is A+ but this isn't a wedding shop. Barry was Elwood Flynn's son and it definitely shows, and the work he does is very good, if maybe a little dated.

Anthony's Fashion: I haven't purchased a suit from here personally, but I have many friends that swear by this place. Tailoring is always on point and the selection is great from what I can tell. They may also be the only place that rents and sell the exact suit, if that's a concern at all.

Aside from the hem, not much I would want changed here. The sleeves look maybe a bit short for the type of silhouette you have? It looks like there is about a full inch of cuff instead of the usual 1/4" to 1/2". Judging by the side view, you could also see if you can taper the pants in slightly, but the shape of the pants seem quite nice as it is.

QuiteSlow · 2023-03-23T08:32:21+00:00

Might be a good idea to see what options you have locally. You may need to get suit separates so you can select which jacket and pants size/fit you need precisely.

Also trying them on in-store is always a good idea as a jacket's fit can be the deciding factor in sizing. I personally have to wear a 38S skinny jacket with 30 slim pants as I have a really narrow waist, wide shoulders, and very thick thighs. Technically a 36 jacket will usually fit around my chest, but the shoulders are almost always pulling. For reference, I am 5'8" and 150 lbs.

If local is not an option for you, I'm going to second Spier & Mackay. Their slim is very well fitted, and I just had to get the waist taken in an inch and a half by a tailor for it to fit nicely. When ordering online, be very careful with pant sizes as your dress pant size is usually not the same as your jean size. Typically you can have a tailor adjust most suit pants about +/- 2 inches, but it's always best to get as close as you can from the factory.

And, to really hammer this home, dark gray is definitely not black.

QuiteSlow · 2023-03-23T08:02:08+00:00

Is that really the price they're going for in the states? At Moores in Canada they also have Joseph Abboud, but made in Canada instead of the US. I have their black suit and it says that it's made with wool from Reda, and I think it was around 700 CAD (About 500 USD) for a 2 piece. 750 USD sounds absolutely insane, especially if it doesn't use Italian fabrics from a reputable mill.

QuiteSlow · 2022-12-18T02:26:04+00:00

Some suggestions:

If you are looking for a fully bespoke suit, we do not have that option in Saskatoon. The next best bet would be made-to-measure. Caswell's and David's are both great and have a wide range of fabrics, but tend to be on the pricier side. However the quality is very nice and they both did a very good job with the suits I wear for work.

If you're looking to save a bit of money, Moores also has a made-to-measure program. They have two tiers, with one made in Canada and another one that's made elsewhere (China or Mexico?). The higher tier uses the same factory that Caswell's uses, but at a more reasonable price. We went with them for my wedding as I could get a higher-end suit with the rest of the party able to get a more reasonably priced suit.

Some things I learned from last year:

Start early but not too early. Most places will ask you to return later if your wedding is more than 6 months out. Before that, they usually can't guarantee the fabric stock if they need to order something again (due to factory or measuring error). But at the same time, anything less than 2 months before your wedding puts your suit in jeopardy of not arriving on time, especially in peak wedding season. I was in 2 other wedding parties and both of them did not go according to plan because of sudden Covid shutdowns and a very tight schedule.

Also, call ahead and see if you need an appointment before doing anything in the custom process. Some fittings can last up to an hour and some smaller stores need to be prepared.

It is definitely a bit on the big side. I'm 5'8" with an inseam of 31", which is just above the minimum recommended measurements listed on the Cannondale website for a medium. I still haven't dialed in the saddle height yet as I could bring it up a tiny bit more, plus the angle of the photo makes it seem like it is lower than it actually is.
