When it comes to dining out, Elbert Lee dresses up to suit his environment. As a brand leader for Atelier Munro, an Amsterdam-based made-to-measure clothier that opened its second Canadian store in Calgary in 2023, he helps other men — or anyone who appreciates the style and tailoring of quality menswear — do the same.
Whether he’s assembling his own outfit, or assisting clients, one piece Lee always chooses is a sports jacket. Not only can he dress it up or down, but it’s practical, too. “When men go out with only a shirt and a pair of pants, they have nowhere to put their wallet, keys or phone,” he says. Lee completes his ensemble with a pocket square, a shirt with casual elements like snaps, and shorter pants to break up the look — and show some skin. “I like to show off my ‘man-kles’!” he says.
