![]() Khanna recounts that it took his team two good years to identify the correct manufacture (in a location which happens to be in same city in China as Suit Supply), fine-tune the house style (particularly successful in our opinion) and finally, set up a quality control on par with the Goliaths of the market. ![]() The founder of the brand and creative director, Rikky Khanna, says the debut of Spier & Mackay's saw a modest launch in 2014, starting with three selections available to "test the market": a navy blue model and two models in different shades of gray. Opening its doors in 2010, first as a shirt crafter and then launching in 2014 within the highly competitive market of suits, jackets, coats and trousers, the suiting division has quickly taken front and center position. ![]() For those familiar with these forums, where lively exchanges are the norm (particularly on Reddit, who is not known for its delicate diplomacy), you can appreciate the achievements of SPIER & MACKAY, who has managed to transcend the fussiness of the iGent group and earn respect as a brand enjoying record-speed reverence comparable to the few Goliaths in the industry. HOWEVER, today we want to pump some new blood into the field of quality, yet affordable suiting, and speak about the up-and-coming company: SPIER & MACKAY, a name which keeps resurfacing among sartorial minded fellows.Īs summer winds down, it seems like a good time to share the news about SPIER & MACKAY, a great ready-to-wear suit crafter with exceptional quality/price ratio, based in Toronto, Canada, who in less than three years, has transformed into a sensation on sartorial forums like Styleforum or important Subreddits. Sometimes we miss the mark, but the great majority of the time, we believe, with humility, that we get it right. We simply do not want to associate our name with any maker unless we have a strong level of confidence in whom we are recommending. This practice of an abundance of caution is an involuntary reflex. Both companies earned the reputation of making great clothes and delivering dependable service at easy-on-the-wallet prices which has made buying suits simple.As most of our readers know, we are prudent to a fault when recommending makers (whether they be bespoke, made to measure, or off-the-peg). Many of you may get the feeling that you have been “Suitsupply-ed” and “Boggi-ed” ad nauseam, and for good reason (they are great companies!).Īfter all, Suitsupply gave us the industry standard of numbingly good service, and Boggi gave us a Mecca in most every major airport to meet any suiting need at a moment’s notice. ![]()
