Quinpool Tailor Shop

Took my son’s judo gi in to have the hem let out (he grew too fast!) and they did a top notch job — the new hem is stronger than the old one, and the price was second to none.

This place is really great. It’s nestled away on Oxford St in a quieter neighbourhood, so no need to deal with crazy traffic and crowds.
You can tell this store has been around a while, since it has the look and feel of a 60s mom ‘n pop tailoring operation. Even though I wasn’t around back then, you still get a sense of nostalgia when you walk in the door.
They have a really cool huge collection of police cloth badges from all over the world, tacked up behind the front counter. You can easily spend a half hour just gawking at them trying to figure out where and when they’re from. Nice way to pass the time while waiting for clothes.
Service is fast, in a retirement home kind of way but it’s all par for the course.
