Behind L’Uomo Montreal’s neoclassic quarry stone facade on Peel Street, there are two men who ooze good taste and elegance. “Elegance is when everything makes sense: the overall look and the details,” say Albert Cohen and Paul Teboul, who co-founded the store over 45 years ago. These gentlemen believe in buying durable garments: “No one is rich enough not to invest in quality.” They suggest three criteria: cut, fabric and colour.
Master advisers, Cohen and Teboul are as passionate about their work as on day one. They chose to mark their milestone anniversary not by showcasing their own success, but by turning the spotlight on craftsmen who produce exceptional products by hand. Today, young customers seek the emotion of handmade garments — the soulfulness of traditional craftsmanship.
A Kiton jacket requires 33,000 stitches made by some 25 different tailors. A pair of John Lobb shoes goes through 190 steps to become a masterpiece. In store, you will discover jewels signed Luigi Borrelli, Edward Green, Ermenegildo Zegna, Loro Piana, Bottega Veneta. To build a menswear wardrobe, nothing beats L’Uomo Montreal.
This philosophy shines in every client story: Guy Carbonneau trusted L’Uomo for his tailored suits, and VIPs from around the world visit during the Montreal Grand Prix. The selection also extends to luxury denim: Jacob Cohen, Italy’s finest denim brand, is available in-store.
