Made to Measure Coppley Suits
Coppley has been building tailored garments out of Hamilton, Ontario since 1883, starting with uniforms for the Canadian military, police, and fire services before becoming one of Canada's most established suit makers. That same precision now goes into every made-to-measure suit built for you at Channers.
Coppley's made-to-measure program blends old-world tailoring with computer-assisted cutting, and draws from a library of more than 400 fabrics sourced from mills like Reda, Loro Piana, and Vitale Barberis Canonico, the oldest wool mill in the world.
From boardroom suits to something built for a wedding, a Coppley made-to-measure order gives you a level of fit and fabric choice a standard size run simply can't.
What Goes Into a Coppley Made-to-Measure Suit
Coppley describes its made-to-measure service as allowing for "complex measurement changes and fit details," which goes a step past standard adjustments like shortening a sleeve or taking in a waist. In practice, that means your Channers tailor can address things like uneven shoulders, a longer torso, or a specific posture, not just resize a standard pattern.
That precision is backed by how Coppley actually builds its suits. The company pairs traditional, hand-finished tailoring with computer-assisted cutting, a combination that lets it hold tight tolerances on fit even as every order is customized differently.
Fabric choice is part of the customization too. Coppley's merchandisers source cloth from some of the most established mills in the business, including Reda, Barberis, Angelico, Loro Piana, and Tollegno, giving you access to fabrics that are, at times, exclusive to Coppley in North America. For anyone who needs a suit that moves as much as it looks sharp, Coppley also builds performance options like its Attivo line, using bi-stretch fine Merino wool for suits that hold their shape through a long day or a lot of travel.
Whether you're after a classic wool suit or something built for comfort and motion, the fabric and fit decisions all happen at your fitting with our team.
Why Coppley Custom Suits
Coppley's history goes back further than most suit brands on the market today. The company started in the late 1800s manufacturing uniforms for Canada's military, police, fire, and hotel sectors, then added men's tailored clothing in the early 1920s under a handful of different brand names. By the 1980s, Coppley had built a reputation as a forward-thinking, fashion-forward apparel maker, and it entered the American men's tailored clothing market in the early 1990s. By the late 1990s, the company had consolidated its Canadian-made lines under one name: Coppley.
That's over 140 years in continuous operation, all of it still manufactured in Canada rather than overseas.
Seen In Jack Victor: Celebrities and Influencers
Jack Victor suits show up in some pretty high-profile moments. In September 2024, the international team wore custom Jack Victor suits arriving in Montreal for the Presidents Cup golf tournament. The brand has also styled Chase Brown, the Canadian-born running back for the Cincinnati Bengals, and partners with Sportsnet to dress the commentary teams covering NHL, MLB, and NBA broadcasts. It's the kind of sharp, camera-ready tailoring you can also get through Channers' made-to-measure program.

Yes. Jack Victor has been manufacturing men's tailored clothing in Montreal since 1913, and remains family-owned into its third generation. Suits are cut and sewn in-house rather than outsourced, using premium Italian fabrics.

Tailored Fit is sleeker and closer to the body, with modern proportions. Regular Fit is a more traditional cut with a bit more room to move. Your Channers tailor helps you pick the right base fit, then adjusts it to your exact measurements.
