The Chandelier Karmazyn Rose Wedding Dress
In the late summer of 2011, we began consultations for a bespoke couture dress. From planning to execution, the Chandelier Karmazyn Rose wedding dress was a stunning example of delicate detail and formal design. Multiple muslin fittings and dress fittings took place over the better part of three months, shaping and transforming the silk into a one-of-a-kind dress inspired by the Karmazyn crimson rose.
A Groom Without A Suit
This Dormeuil three-piece suit was created for a young groom after the unexpected closing of the store from which he had purchased his wedding suit just weeks prior to his wedding. Chronicled in a Toronto Star article by Ellen Roseman, his story was brought to our attention by a member of the Trend Custom Tailors team. Lucas and his lovely bride-to-be, Sarah, were immediately invited to Trend to see if we could help the young groom get back on track with his wish for a bespoke suit for his wedding.
Overcoat Details: A Dog Bone Throat Closure
A longstanding patron brought in an overcoat we created for him last year. The open lapels on this classic wool overcoat were a bit too open at time and our patron wanted to know if there was a solution, as it had served him well through the previous winter.
Bespoke: Black & Grey Herringbone Tweed Overcoat
This bespoke Holland & Sherry black and grey herringbone tweed overcoat was entirely created in-house. It presented a wonderful opportunity to experiment with style and function. Fall weather in Toronto was perfect for our clients to work with us to design unique stylish yet classic garments from traditional hand-woven cloth that transition through the seasons.
A Cropped Casual Country Jacket
Created for the winter 2012-13 season, this Holland and Sherry Sherry Kash cropped casual country sport jacket by Trend Custom Tailors references the traditional English shooting jackets with a right shoulder guard leather detail.
Four leather-welted pockets adorn the front of this jacket, including the barchetta (“little boat”) curved breast pocket and the ticket pocket, adding a stylish and contemporary twist. The natural shoulder is reinforced by strategically placed hand-tacks.
A Shawl Collar Three-Piece Suit
The shawl collar on this Dormeuil Celebrations three-piece suit is a stylish yet classic change from the typical peak or notch lapels. This continuous curve lapel, usually seen on the dinner jacket or tuxedo jacket, has increasingly become more diverse. While timeless in style, recently the shawl collar has been more visible on the red carpet as seen here, with the latest version being the “shrunken shawl collar”. Our version of the shawl collar jacket features a two-button convertible jacket with fly-front surgeon’s cuffs.

A Two-Button Multistripe Suit
This multistripe two-button Vital Barberis Canonico Perennial suit features slanted, welted pockets and hand-worked buttonholes. The classic notch lapel enhances the versatility of this single-breasted suit.
A Tab-Collar Tweed Jacket
Trend Custom Tailors recently created this bespoke tab-collar “rolling three” sport jacket. The Bateman Ogden Donegal tweed with windowpane overlay provides the wide-ranging colour palette for the jacket details including the pieced-melton undercollar, interior lining, buttonholes and surgeon’s cuffs.
A Velvet Sport Jacket
This smokey grey-blue two button velvet sport jacket with peak lapels features traditional four button surgeon’s cuffs and side vents.
The top button of this two button jacket is actually comprised of two buttons and allows for buttoning in two distinct fashions. This convertible front, also known as a “mess kit closure” or “kissing front”, draws reference from the convertible shirt sleeve cuffs that allow wearers the option of buttoning in traditional barrel cuff fashion or the more formal french cuff style.
