Suit Suggestions Calgary Canada
Hey guys! I'm in the market for a made to measure or bespoke suit. This would be my first suit and I plan on wearing it to weddings, job interviews and funerals. I'm 27, 5'11" and 130 lbs - so pretty slim.
My budget is flexible so I am open to hearing about recommendations at different price points. I would likely spend $1000-2000 CAD on the suit.
I also need recommendations for black, cap-toe Oxford dress shoes, a black dress belt, a white dress shirt and ties. I have a couple questions about those items too. Should the shirt be point or spread collar? Should the shirt have barrel or French cuffs? What tie designs are good for a wedding guest? Where are good places to buy ties?
I would like to buy most things in-store so if you know places in Calgary, that would be very helpful to me. I want to get measured for the suit in-person and be able to try on shoes in-person since those things can often not fit well when guessing sizes online.
Thanks in advance for your help! I'm new to the world of formal dress - my job is business casual and I dress casually on my days off

501 vs 511
Hey guys. I currently own a pair of Levi's 501 jeans. Would 511 slim fit jeans compliment me better? I'm 5'11", 130 lbs, 29W x 32L, for reference.

Levi's
I ordered Levi's 501 Original Fit Men's Jeans Clean Rigid - Dark Wash - Non Stretch 29W X 32L from Levi's Canada's website and recieved black jeans instead. Does this mean the warehouse is out of Clean Rigid or was it a mistake? I returned the black jeans but want to get the right colour. Here's a link to the pants: https://www.levi.com/CA/en_CA/clothing/men/jeans/straight/501-original-fit-mens-jeans/p/005010536
Thanks in advance for helping
