A custom suit from Mr. Derk starts with a conversation, not a catalogue.
We work with you to choose your fabric, details, and silhouette — then build the suit through Empire, our Canadian manufacturing partner. It comes back to us for in-house tailoring, where we refine the fit to your exact build before it ever touches a hanger.
The result is a garment that fits because it was made for you. Not adjusted. Made.
It started in 1939 in Čakovec, Croatia, where Sterling's grandfather Stephen Derk built a reputation as a tailor — stitch by stitch, client by client. In 1946, the family immigrated to Canada and brought that craft with them.
Three generations later, Mr. Derk is still independently owned and operated in Edmonton, still tailoring in-house, and still taking the time to actually know the people who walk through the door.
Alden has been making shoes in Middleborough, Massachusetts, for over 140 years. Every pair is constructed using traditional Goodyear welt methods — built to be resoled, rebuilt, and worn for decades. That's not a selling point. It's just how they've always done it.
We carry Alden because it's the standard by which other dress shoes get measured. Shell cordovan, calf leather, boots and oxfords — each one a long-term investment in how you show up.
We've always believed that how you dress is only part of the story. Fragrance is the part people remember after you leave the room.
We recently began bringing in a carefully selected range of niche fragrance houses — the kind of brands that don't show up at the mall. Escentric Molecules from Berlin. D.S. & Durga from Brooklyn. And our newest addition, CBCB Fragrances — a small independent house out of Toronto.
Each one chosen for the same reason we choose everything else on our floor: you won't find it everywhere, and it's worth owning.
Give the gentleman in your life the freedom to choose his perfect look. A gift certificate from Mr. Derk is the ideal solution for the hard-to-shop-for or those who prefer to select their own style. Add a personal touch with a custom message, and let him enjoy the flexibility of shopping online or in-store.
