Hi guys,
I'm looking for this chinese traditional shift, the one Jackie Chan always wear, for the coming CNY. Any suggestion where to get nice and not bad quality of this shirt? Hopefully budget not more than 100.

something like this,


Next Q, any idea how should I match the pants? Is black slack the only choice of matching it?

Thank you!

i saw one shop in the mines if im not mistaken. cant rmmber the name of the shop though

try pyramid..saw b4 they sell traditional shirt / genting also got at outdoor theme park...

Well, if you happen to be in Vietnam you can have one custom made at dirt cheap prices (as seen in Topgear).

haha, that's vietnam. how bout KL/PJ area? must custom made?

Got to Central Market at the top floor, there is one shop specializes in these traditional wear called Loh Tim Kee i think. Or you could go to Mid Valley lowest floor in front of Burger King called Chinatown Classic. Do bargain a little as it is off season. Oh by the way, there are not a lot of tailor that can make traditional "samfu" or "ku chong" clothes.

i saw some in reject shop. haha

KL area should have this type of tailor, but i dunno where. Yeah i have seen some in reject shop. and maybe this shop called Noir has some.

There is one shop in Midvalley LG floor opposite burger king

The Mall also have.

thanks, will try to find after my annual leave =)

If you're looking for a customizable one with good quality fabric, try the shop in Mid Valley LG floor, in front of Best Denki near the escalator.
Else, if you want something cheap (since you would probably only wear it once a year), hypermarkets like Carrefour, The Store, etc starts selling them when Chinese New Year is around the corner.

I just came back from watching "Assassin Bodyguards" and the characters were all either suited or in traditional Chinese dress. If you have a lean figure (no potbelly) I think the traditional dress can be very flattering. I wonder why they have died out while the suit lives on. I hope to get myself a bespoke Chinese dress someday (real Old World quality, not some stupid replica) if I happen to be in China.

Haiyaaaa.... the shop next to Burger king in Mid Valley i called Chinatown Classics. i have bought from them before. Last time they have a branch in Central Market and KLCC. But both closed down already. Now left with just 1 branch in Mid Valley.

The other shop 'Loh Tim Kee" is in Times Square. But it is located at the other end of Times square. Not the escelator on Borders side. But at Metrojaya side. I think its 4th floor. The main HQ is in Central Market 1st floor.

Also if you go to Petaling Street at the T junction where there is the famous longan water seller, go right to the end of the road, there is a stall that sells some there. Also inside Petaling street there is 2 more stalls selling some.

Or you could go along jln Imbi heading to Times Square, look right. There is a shop selling chinese traditional wear there. You cannot miss the mannuequins on the display.

All places are in KL. If in PJ there is one in SS2, but i haven't checked them out yet.

If you can wait till near Chinese New Year, Tesco, Giant & Carefour will stock some. And in Jln Masjid India, there is a shop called Madras Store that stocks some during Cny also.

Those in Reject shop are 3 year old stocks. They only have sizes S and M and only in yellow and red color.
