One of the best men's clothing stores in Toronto

The other reviews on here were from 2009 when there was different ownership. This place has the best quality and best men's clothes in TO. The current owner is very friendly and knowledgable and I don't ever feel there is a hard sell. The staff really seem to take an interest in making sure that I look and feel good. Some great brands here.

Unproffesional

There is a big difference between Gentleman's Club and Locker Room.
Theodore 1922 is the latter.

When I shop for nice clothes, I have a certain expectation in the experience and not just the garments. To me it should feel like a classy experience from when i enter the store straight through to when i leave. In my experience having shopped (and purchased) at Theodore 1922 there were elements of pressure, aggression, and frat boy conversation - but no elements of actual class.

My recomendation would be to take your money to a place that understands that understands that they aren't selling you a shirt, they are selling you a sense of sophistication to feel while you wear their shirt.

And lucky for us guys who appreciate the finer things in life, Toronto has much to offer by way of excellent tailors.

Buyer Beware!

my boyfriend decided to visit Theodore to pick up a shirt for a wedding. Unfortunately the old fashioned charm of generations past has been replaced with questionable business practices.

He tried on a garment, and it was lovely save for the collar being just slightly snug. The owner insisted on having his father move the button for a better try. 2 minutes later it was moved and fit great.

He decided to buy the shirt and off he went. After getting the shirt home he decided it just didn't go with his suit. I went in the next day to return it, in the original package with the receipt. I pulled it from the bag and David the owner said nope, that was altered, final sale. I said, no it wasn't altered at the clients request but rather the button was moved by you at your insisting before he even decided to buy it. what was presented as old fashioned service at the time, turns out is their way of locking in every sale. I asked when the client was told that this "service" pre-sale, would mean it was a final sale? He replied, it's always been our rule, it says so in our return policy. I said, where is this return policy? He said oh, on the receipt. I showed him the receipt which indicates nothing but the store name. It really didn't matter anyway because the point was that as far as the client and his actions were concerned he was not requesting any alterations. If it was an option, he would have taken the shirt as is. He was not given the choice.

The owner's response was if you don't like it, call my lawyer. I left shaken and shocked at the conversation. My boyfriend went back himself to see if he could talk any reason. David the owner told him to call the better business bureau if he's so unhappy.

Old fashioned service apparently does not always get passed down with the store legacy. Buyer beware, the shirt in question was $370.00. I would suggest giving your business to someone else.

Love this store!

I lived nearby for 3 years, but I never stopped in as I had no reason to buy menswear.

I was actually sent here on a mystery shopping assignment so I finally had to chance to scope it out. The have a wide variety of high end suits, mens dress shirts, pants and accessories (ties, belts, cufflinks, etc). The prominent brands here seem to be Eton and SAND.

Everything is... more

second, yes good quality stuff.

third, the sales people here are kinda goofy. they generally ignore me when i stop by to look at the merchandise. swilling beer and listening to the stones is way more fun.

otherwise, esp. if the pricing was good, this would be the kind of place i would shop.

Theodore 1922 is a high-end men's clothing store in the Annex. In between all the used book stores it's a little out of place but I love going there.

They are very helpful and clearly know and care about clothing and fashion. The clothing is expensive and you are obviously paying more for the expertise, dedicated service and to support a small business. The clothing ranges from conservative... more

In the eclectic and academic Annex neighbourhood, this men's boutique with a twist carries something for every taste from quirky to suave to classic pieces. Blazers with vibrant lining, shirts in a range of colours, patterns and prints, including those by Sand and Eaton, and accessories like cufflinks. Tue.-Sun.
