Try AJ Stone in Toronto. They sell Innotex gear, Carins helmets and lots of different boots and gloves. M&L Supply sells Morning Pride gear and helmets and Warrington Pro Boots.
If you want to go across the boarder try The Fire Store. They sell everything

Boooooo Innotex. If you're gonna blow a bunch of your own hard-earned cash on bunker gear, do it right and call Globe. They can put you in touch with someone in your area who will properly fit you and gladly take your dolla bills. Actually, for a 50% mark-up I'll be your middle man. Wudda ya want? I think the FDNY Morning Pride looks the coolest, which means its obviously the best.

Is this gear for school?
If it is I'd STRONGLY suggest you save your dollars and look for used gear which still meets the requirements. Spend a couple of grand now for gear and it will be left hanging in a closet somewhere, or later sold at about a third of the price you paid for it in a few years time.
You may WANT new gear....but we all know what shiny new gear means.....keep your pennies in your pocket.....you may need them for your York/Brock....I'm assuming your goal is full time.

I rubbed some BBQ charcoal on my new gloves at a fundraiser BBQ we were having last week, because like you said, we all know what new gear means.
And like PFD said, if its for school, go for the cheapest used gear you can find (obviously taking into account that you don't want to compromise on fit, or buy something torn/burned up or not NFPA certifiable anymore). You'll use it for the term, then likely never touch it again. You won't be able to use it with the department you get hired with and will probably end up selling them on ebay for $100 7 years from now. Speaking of EBAY, thats a good place to start looking.

100 years of tradition unimpeded by progress, right? Haha, they sure do look cool though.
