It is really challenging to disrupt and penetrate a new market. But this is exactly what Canadian Spier and Mackay managed since 2014. Hearing so many good things about them naturally picked my curiosity and I thought it would be a great idea to do some research about the Profile of Spier and Mackay as a Company. Tired from having Suitsupply as my only option I looked for the next big thing. It surprised me to find out that it was already there! At least that is the case until I manage to try them personally and do a full-fledged Review. I take a closer look at Spier and Mackay’s website as well as their offers and customization processes.

One of the first things that drew me into the company was the story behind it. Just like me with The Noble Shoe, Rikky Khanna (the founder) saw a gap in the market and grabbed it by the hair. Rikky’s family had a rich history in the clothing business stretching back to 1971. However it was in 2004 when during a trip to India saw the abundance and variety of cloths available on demand. Five years of brainstorming and hard work later the project took shape with the launch of their store. Based in Mississauga, he was offering really good quality custom shirts at great prices. In 2014 the next big breakthrough came with the introduction of 3 Suits.

Their BD polos are the most underrated item, though the fit can vary from season-to-season. OTR Shirts: Again, amazing value if they fit you.
