Harry Rosen Gentlemen’s Apparel

The service here was garbage (in my case it was nil for nearly 30 minutes as I browsed for dress furnishings as the sales team cleaned tables around me without saying a word in my general direction nor to any other shoppers in my general vicinity). It wasn’t until I came to the cash desk with an armful of pocket squares, socks, and ties that some guy scooped me up and, I’m sure, happily took the commission.
The selection of merchandise is fine for most demographics, though Harry’s is traditionally a more conservative bunch than their Holts counterparts. The outlet is no exception to that rule, just that there appear to be a lot more gaudy units in stock. I happen to like gaudy dress furnishings so we paired well in that regard.
Heartland is a crap mall to begin with and I don’t think Harry’s Outlet brings much of anything to draw me back here.

My go to place for discount work clothes in Mississauga. To catch deals, you generally have to check in on a regular basis. Boxing week and black Friday were excellent catches for 2013 for me. They do have a lot of fake sales, meaning sales that are not actually sales per say, bit appear to be unless you checked in regularly and are aware of the prices. My main annoyance here is the lack of large sizes (52 chest, 19 neck, size 14 shoes, etc). The odd time I find something that fits, I buy everything they have in my size. If they want a 5/​5, have more real sales and stock bigger sizes.

Never really been impressed by this store’s offerings. It’s a step above Holt’s utterly horrifying «last chance» store at Vaughan Mills. If you’re in need of regular suiting, I’m sure this is a fine enough place. But if you’re looking for some marquee brands at a great discount, move along. Move along.

I like the finer things in life. As I don’t often have the money to have them, I come to places like this. I’m a kidder. I kid.
From what I gather, this Harry Rosen outlet-​like store takes in the suits, jackets, pants, ties, shoes, etc. that the «normal» Rosen stores move out for newer, seasonal items. That is not to say that the items sold here are out of style by any means but if you were looking for THIS season’s fashion-​forward mens garments, you wouldn’t start at Harry’s anyway, would you?
So the rule is you usually get what you pay for and that goes for Harry’s as well. You can be sure to get those salmon-​coloured linen pants you’ve been looking at for a good price, but good suits will still cost a chunk. You may save a bit here and there on accessories but the suits only go on sale a couple times a year.
Stick with the «more established» salesmen (i.e. older) as they have a better eye than their younger brethren. The younger guys will also try to put you in something more «modern» and that usually ends in tragedy when that style goes the way of the sansabelt pants (look it up).
I’ve purchased a couple suits here — one was nearly 5 years ago and it still shows great after may hot summers /​dry cleanings, etc. The last one I bought here was a little more flashy and cost a little more, but again with the cut, design, material and care this thing will last me for years to come.
Hundreds of ties to choose from, but no good deals. Same for socks, shoes and don’t get me started on shirts. Buttoned suspenders are often available here and don’t break the bank (and saves you a belt purchase).
You can get yourself a pretty good outfit (s) if you time your purchases right. I shall return.
