- Sydney's Toronto, Canada
Here are weird sort of Japanese Ebays but things go crazy cheap here. Talked to heaps of people that have found anything from Yohji Yamamoto to pre-2000s Helmut Lang and MMM for less than $50.
It sort of requires heaps of dedication and watching so idk, ive never put in the effort myself.

God Tier
High quality shirts, suits, and accessories that fit well and look great. Full canvassing is optional and half canvassing is free, as opposed to Indochinos shoddy fused construction. Amazing customer service via their concierge. If you can think of something to request that isn't normally offered, the concierge can make it happen. Black Lapel also runs an /fa/ #menswear blog, The Compass.
One of the best MTM suit makers on the web.
