I also ordered a suit with Italian made cloth from the UK at the same time. I'm looking forward to seeing which is tailored better. Look here for Lou Myles products and store locations: http://www.loumyles.ca/lou_myles.swf His take on how to determine tailoring quality can also be found there. I believe Holt Renfrew carries Lou Myles across Canada. I refuse to shop there as I'm supporting more then enough clothing my 3 girls (sore point - what's wrong with the Hudson's Bay?). Regards, Greg
