Seriously... RM700 for the above fabric is nothing to shout about.

Is it a new trend that the suit's sleeve covers half your hand ? ( for example the sleeve ends on your thumb and when your arm is straight down your whole thumb is literally covered by the suit ) Or is the length just too long ?

saw a dior suit , really fits me but just curious why is the sleeve length so long . thanks anyway , think im gonna get it .
*
Is the buttons working or just for show? If its working buttons then I suggest you dont get it, over length sleeves are too easily spotted.

If the sleeve buttons are fakes, then you should be able to get it altered.

yes the sleeve buttons are not there for show , it can be opened , if not mistaken theres 3-4 sleeve buttons on each side i think .

why not get the suit just because its working buttons ?
*
Cause the sleeves are way too long, and if it has working buttons.. its next to impossible to alter the length.

Well I suppose if you are adamant on getting it then its your choice at the end of the day. I wont get it, especially if you want your shirt sleeve to peek out abit, how long would your shirt have to be?

regarding 'bespoke'. Can i just bespoke the shirt to whatever design i like??

Yes. They will pretty much make the shirt as u like it. If you have a sample they will follow it.

Handiwork/Fit will depend entirely if the tailor is good or crap.

alright thanks.. do u know wats the starting price for a bespoke shirt?? (average)

I guess u can get one for RM800 all in, a 2 piece form a decent tailor like Ah Loke, then again the material wouldnt be anythign to shout about.

Workmanship for a 2 piece in say Wardrobe, Bangsar would be around RM1300.

I'm planning to get just the shirt. I came across a burberry shirt in 1 of the store and the design was to my liking but the it has a price tag of over RM1k so I'm wondering if a tailor could bespoke a shirt similar to it and I'm sure it would be at a much lower cost?
*
Ohh.... workmanship for a shirt? Er.. my tailro charges RM200~... inclusive of MOP buttons and collar bone.

If u are using their material.. then extra 50~150RM depending on material... ofcourse if you go for really expensive mat it can go upto 1K (like linen shirt from Granoff in Gardens).

Where is ur tailor located? I'm planning to go to bespoked at 1utama to have it check out and get a quotation from them. What do u think about the tailor at bespoked and how does it stand with ur tailor? Besides that wat is the difference between the linen shirt from Granof with the rest?
1. Wardrobe, Bangsar branch
2. Bespoke is decent, a bit on the pricey side but nothing that will kill u
3. Bespoke also can come out with decent result with minimal input from buyer
4. Granoff is abit too pricey for my taste.

If u bought it from howard, then yes.. the real stuff usually looks nicer (and darker) then his pic. He should stop taking photos with his flash on hahaha

btw, why say i cant look good in it?

Its not easy to get away with a DB i suppose... usualyl its much more formal etc... I cant access yoru photo.. will look at it later.

at 17, you should try a fitting SB 1~2 button. Or perhaps a sports jacket.

•Surcharge of RM200 is applicable for a 48-hour completion without fitting. <--- I LOL-ed atthis

Also I think the groupon deal includes only ONE fitting..... unless he is very good, you are very good... i doubt u can get a decent suit out

I went to parkson subang prade.rtw jacket only:

Bonia-rm899
Valentino rudy-rm599
Alain delon-rm480
Kent-rm499
Suave-rm580

I assume all poly but alain delon is the best when i feel the fabric.colour also nice light grey.if parkson has sale i think it will be good for someone who wanna buy rtw. Valentino rudy also has mandarin suit

Um.... Bonia RM899 is ridiculous... go bespoke for those prices.

The rest... might as well try Padini. Check it out...

I'll be needing one suit for my sister wedding this Oct. Don't plan to use it that often as seldom has such official event. Plus I can't grow fat even how much I eat (genetic I guess since my father still the same waistline from marriage)

Problem is my waist size is 27/28 and thus far I tried think it's oversize (Padini one). And thus far I see those selling is with shoulder pad which makes my shoulder looks bulky as I'm skinny.

Any recommendation for me then? And what's the price range about? Need start saving money
*
If you dont use it often, then get something RTW. no point getting it tailored.

Unless u have 1k+ to splurge then its a different story.

already received my suit (made this one after 6 years). overall ok just that my wife was saying the sleeve is too short. will post the pics

Hmm... if you have working sleeve buttons then chances are you wont be able to alter the sleeve length.

my last suit, i asked for overlapping sleeve buttons (working ones), but they didnt do that, so the CEO tried to make it right by offering to purchase similar fabric and redoign the entire sleeve for me. I was impressed, but declined.

this is the suit

Its too blurry cant really see the details.

1. Sleeve length seems uneven, cant see if its the way you are bending your body.
2. Do NOT button the 2nd button PLS. Remove it and retake a clearer pic.
3. Like Deriku commented, this is a sack cut, who is the tailor?

Take a few more pic. With your hands straigt out to the side. Also some side pics. Clearer ones pls.

Also, who is your tailor... the fit is pretty dismal..

why do u advice not to button the second button??

u see how the bottom part of the suit (right side pocket) is pulling? Its because jackets are not designed to button the last button.
