Shoot, you know... with the exchange rate, you won't be getting much ahead. Nordstrom is definitely the higher quality option, and I think they even carry RL Polo.

To put in a plug for Samuelson though... It is Canadian-made, fully-canvassed, and always has great fabric. Best value for dollar in my opinion. Again, these prices are made to measure, that is, personalized measurements for a standard fit. This is a much better option than Off The Rack.

As for the comments regarding cost, I work in the executive suite of a big Calgary company. I regularly meet with senior leadership, and I have to dress the part. For the naysayers, it is all about preferences. I refuse to own a car because I see it as an unnecessary expense. Removing that $600 per month expense leaves me with tons of money for $400 shoes, $900 sport coats and $225 shirts.
