i noticed this but i dont know why
maybe its just the way it is

just like unbutton the first button of shirt (not for the tie one) looks more casual...

Been following the suiting thread for awhile now.

Time for me to commission my first bespoke

Just curious, why is it not advisable to commission a black suit? As i plan to only have one suit for now. Wouldn't black be a good colour to have as it will be able to go with most occassions (business or dinners or etc).

As for tailor, think i will pay Ah Loke a visit. Still very confused over cloth. Not too sure what to look out for.

Thanks for all your help everyone. Think i have much more to read and research before paying Ah Loke a visit.

Just curious, everyone seems to be saying no to black. To cure my curiosity , may i ask why? I have always though most formal suits are black. but being a beginner in this area i know i might be wrong.

Point taken

Not very particular on the structure/construction. i intend to use the suit for a long time so i wont mind spending a lil more. but some have advised me to just get a fused suit since i wont be wearing it very often probably at most once a month.

about the wight of fabric, it is suggested from kotmj post to buy above 300gm. however if it is too heavy it might not also suitable with our climate. my question, what is the max acceptable weight for pure wool fabric? us 325 gm is ok? how about if the weight for pure wool is slightly lower than 300 gm like 290 gm

Guys, do u know any women bespoke taylor?

Anyway, found an old shop in Klang Town, the suit only cost RM500+-, i'm not sure the material, but the sewing is very good! He is an old man, age around 70++. Should I ask him is it MTM or bespoke?

too low means below 300 gm?

Anywhere between 600 bucks to a kidney.

The topic is in V3. You want me to go through every page from V1 looking for an answer?

Anyway, doesn't matter. Someone has already replied. Don't reply if you're not going to give a helpful one
Well, it's my first tailor-made, and I kinda set a budget of RM1,000. So I'll stick to not crossing that.

who knows where to get leather glove to wear with suit?

accidentally i purchased the same fabric twice because the photos of two auctions look different 

extra 2 pants? because ttl 3.7 m, 1 pant= 1.3-1.7 m

Someone has been playing too much Hitman games.     

Any of the sifus here know if button stance can be adjusted once the suit is completed? I find my first button half an inch too low for my liking, but am not sure if its possible to alter, since they will have to alter the lapels as well? =/

deriku,
Great website there.  A good reference point for a noob like me.

Hi everyone. I'm new to bespoke tailoring. I used to have a suit tailored in my hometown by my family friend tailor. The result is horrible! The tailor didn't even call me for fitting, he just measured and make it. Now that the suit is lost for good. I would like to get it right this time and after some advice by kotmj (thanks a lot!) has ordered some wool fabrics from britishfabrics. I've seen many forummers gone to ALT. I just want to know what is the price range for ALT for a suit with our own fabric. Hope to hear from you all soon!

May I know where can I get bemberg lining for my suit? Would like to order it now but there is no one selling in ebay.

hello guys

need some points for tailoring suits,...i m kind of suit dummy.

I have head that Bangkok have cheap prices in tailoring suits. I was actually looking at this http://www.tailoronten.com/pages/prices . Just wondering is the price reasonable?..cheaper than malaysia?..

whats the average pricing range of custome made suits in malaysia? care to share some numbers..

What about HugoBoss ??

Make sure the fabric you choose fits the weather of the place you are wearing ?

I think most of the time many would recommend to go for tailor made, because it fits you.

If you wanna make suit that is going to be worn in cold countries, it should be wool. If u are expecting very cold weather, then it would be worsted wool. Actually the best time to get fall/ winter clothes (branded) is buying them off season. Like know suring sales, i saw Mark & Spencer have some for sale. Could get it a suit for less than RM400. Some orphaned suit coats cost RM120!!! Sadly not my size. If not sure take a few already. hahah. I dunno about u but its quite easy to spot a cold weather suit. Its heavier usually.
An i once picked up a generic suit for RM350 (with working cuffs!) when i was looking for some shoes as well, at those "branded" warehouse sales. No kidding. I think the same factories are used. The most copied brand has to be Versace and Aquasuctum.

Complete suit, top and bottom. Padini can get?
