Samuelsohn Reborn
What’s happening at Samuelsohn? Since 1923, the Montreal tailoring house has set the Canadian standard for high-quality, hand-sewn suits and jackets. Now this local gem has been recut and repolished to compete with the world for quality and value.

With newly appointed president and creative director Arnold Silverstone at the helm, this fall’s collection maintains Samuelsohn’s classic tailoring standards but brings in an elegantly modern fashion sensibility. In terms of superlative fabrics, hand-finished details and contemporary design, these clothes compare with the most sophisticated Italian labels but at a decidedly advantageous price.
Wearing is believing. Try on that impossibly supple, cream-coloured jacket made from yangir, a wool harvested from Mongolian mountain goats that’s softer than cashmere. Check out the pick-stitch detailing across a suit jacket’s inside lining, waistband and under the collar – work that fine can only be done by hand.
In short, Samuelsohn’s new fall collection is simply dazzling. As Larry Rosen says, “They give more bang for the buck than anyone else.”
