is this materials considered ok for suit? considering our weather as well

http://www.ebay.com/itm/350509814619?ssPag...984.m1423.l2649

i hope someone can reply, i have read somewhere in the thread the weight of our choosen materials should be above 300 gms; but I asked the seller he recommend something around 250 gm for our climate. not sure whether this 100% wool worsted fabric is ok. i know many recommend mohair+wool just could not afford at the moment

how about this?

just received the fabric bought at ebay. it is nice compare to how it looks in the ebay picture

local tailor in Kuantan, workmanship RM 350

I regularly made my pants and shirts with him and so far satisfied

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

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

this is the suit

Yes from british fabrics, thanks for the comments maybe for next one

when we say second button, second from top or bottom

i have question, how thick shoulder pad should be?

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

so i assume 325 gm also ok

too low means below 300 gm?

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

beside howard maybe can try to see this seller in ebay

http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/royaltex10?ssPag...ME:L:OU:AU:1181

his picture resolution is much better than howard and he can send more pictures of the cloth if you wish

receive cloth from this seller the quality and price is better than Howard

myworld.ebay.co.uk/royaltex10?ssPageName=ADME:L:OU:AU:1181

Royal textiles is 100% better than Howard. I have experienced buying from these 2 companies; Howard sold me a same fabric which in the photo looks like other colours.

if i made a suit with tailor A and its give really excellent fit can I just bring the suit to tailor B and ask them to follow the measurement?
