Antonacci elevates the tailor’s craft with a passion for impeccable quality in every detail. From the finest fabrics and threads to old-world artistry and craftsmanship, we are meticulous in creating garments of the highest standards, right here in Toronto.
It can take our tailors up to 20 hours to produce a single handmade suit, with strict quality control at every stage. There is no compromise, no cutting corners. Only the Antonacci way – a dedication to the craft of creating the finest handmade garments to suit the individuality of every customer.
Antonacci is founded with a vision to redefine the art of bespoke tailoring. The company opens its original 5,000 square foot atelier in Toronto.
Antonacci’s reputation for exquisite tailoring and exceptional customer service outgrows its roots. The company relocates to a new 13,000 square foot atelier in North Toronto.
One hand-completed stitch at a time, the legacy of Antonacci grows. The company completes its 100,000th custom creation.
After raising a glass to its milestone 40th anniversary, Antonacci grows its brand with a new website complete with a dealer portal, enabling its private label clients to enjoy a more seamless online ordering experience.

We collaborate with local clothiers to create a distinct brand of finely tailored suits for their customers. Create a private line that embodies your brand and differentiates you from your competitors.
During our initial consultation, we review our custom tailoring process, suit construction, our luxury fabric mills, and explain what you can expect at each of our pricing tiers.
Jackets, pants, vests and shirts uniquely designed to fit and complement each client’s shape, personal style and tastes. Each piece is hand-sewn by an expert Antonacci tailor using traditional techniques.
Since he was a child in Palermo, Italy, Hector has been around men’s fashion. His father was a tailor who ran a small shop and where his mother also worked. When Hector was 21, he came to Canada, learned English, and moved to New York City to study menswear design.
“Bespoke tailoring requires equal measures of imagination and precision, bringing out the finer details others may overlook.”
Hector’s attention to quality and detail throughout a suit’s fabrication is the same as the care taken in his father’s shop back in Sicily. As Head Designer, Hector is responsible for creating Antonacci’s collection of pattern blocks. It’s a labour of love: Hector creates patterns, grades each style with the help of digital technology, then tests, adjusts and perfects each pattern for each custom suit.
As the President of Antonacci, Marcello oversees operations and guides the company’s customer relations, ensuring seamless service, efficient processes and a culture of professionalism throughout the company.
“My mission is to ensure each Antonacci customer feels valued, understood and genuinely cared for.”
Through Marcello’s keen business instincts and customer-driven approach, Antonacci has grown to become one of the world’s most prolific and well-regarded bespoke houses.
Sam started tailoring when he was a young boy. He developed his craft in small, incremental steps: first sewing by hand, then making button holes, then pockets. He worked with his cousins in an uncle’s shop, producing 25 custom suits a week.
“The mentality I grew up with was to just learn. Absorb what was being offered. Make customers happy and never argue.”
Sam came to Canada and apprenticed further with a number of master tailors, perfecting the art of finishing, alterations and fitting a garment to the individual. For Sam, it’s the finish and styling that give the piece its look. A suit must work with your body – the style and cut should improve or highlight the customer’s attributes.
Sebastian Garofalo will tell you the suits they make at Antonacci are garments of the quality your great-grandfather would have worn. The quality of raw materials used in every suit starts from the purchases he makes: Italian and English-made cloth, horsehair canvas, cotton lining, even German-made silk thread.
Asked what is special about an Antonacci suit, Sebastian says,
“It’s got sex appeal, it’s crisp and clean, it doesn’t bubble or pucker.”
Sebastian’s father was a tailor, his uncle was a tailor, his mother was a seamstress in Toronto, and he learned the business by being immersed in tailoring from the start. Sebastian has been with Antonacci since 1999, continuously expanding his detailed knowledge of what comprises the best in menswear.
