Erol Custom Tailors, a bespoke tailoring service, has opened an elegant new showroom at 74 Scollard Street in Toronto’s prestigious Yorkville neighborhood. The expansion marks a milestone for proprietor Erol Bayram, who has been honing his craft since his youth.
Bayram’s journey in the world of tailoring began early, working part-time in his uncle’s factory while still in elementary school. The early exposure laid the foundation for his expertise, eventually leading him to achieve master tailor status. Fourteen years ago, Bayram took the entrepreneurial leap and opened his first shop at the corner of Scollard and Bay Streets under the name ‘Erol Custom Tailors Limited’.
The new location on Scollard Street, which Bayram purchased and extensively renovated over the course of a year, represents a significant upgrade from his previous premises. Bayram described the meticulous attention to detail that went into creating the space. The showroom boasts a sophisticated white interior with marble floors, custom chandeliers, and specially designed mirrors, creating an atmosphere that reflects the quality and craftsmanship of the garments on offer.
Erol Custom Tailors’ collection spans a wide range of bespoke clothing and accessories. Bayram says he takes pride in his organic denim jeans, which he describes as a “dress style, with stretch, and very comfortable.” The showroom also features a selection of shoes crafted from soft leather, sourced and manufactured to Bayram’s specifications in Istanbul, Turkey.
While men’s suiting remains a cornerstone of the business, Bayram has expanded his offerings to include women’s wear. His collection for women features blazers described as having a “very classy, dressy style,” along with high-rise dress pants and skirts. The tailor also offers remodeling services, breathing new life into clients’ existing garments through creative redesigns.
Bayram works with high-end fabrics from renowned mills such as Loro Piana, Scabal, and Holland & Sherry. The dedication to superior textiles, combined with his mastery of tailoring techniques, has earned him a loyal clientele who say that they appreciate the comfort and styles of his creations.
Bayram works below the showroom — a narrow staircase leads to the lower level, where Bayram has set up his workshop. This area houses specialized machinery for cutting and crafting garments, allowing for on-site customization and alterations. The building also features ample storage space, crucial for maintaining an inventory of fabrics and finished pieces.
Looking to the future, Bayram plans to expand his ready-to-wear offerings. “Later on, I’m going to start custom dress shirts,” he said. He also anticipates growing his fabric selection, with new stock already on order to enhance the in-store display.
