Bought another Navy Zegna and black Armani fabric. It was darn cheap. Might be going for fitting for my Navy fabric next week. Been thinking on trying the Bespoked for my black Armani. I need more suits.... business is finally getting better this year..so lots of traveling in the coming months.....

what is navy zegna and black armani fabric ? where to get them ? how much ?
if you send them to armani, how much they charge for workmanship ?

Bought it in oversea...i believe they r also available here...kotmj...pls correct me if I'm wrong.....by the way..the linen jacket..is awesome..i wish alt can do the same for me...

send them to armani???? I cannot afford it at all.....just sending to home-based local tailor......

I never knew Armani made fabrics.

Please just ignore this super low IQ "alfredfx" guy. Pestered me with some very low quality questions and showed no ability to understand simple things. I think his IQ is 60 or 70.

Added on May 12, 2010, 9:23 pmI'll be breaking in the linen jacket this Sunday at an afternoon wedding banquet.

I misstated things earlier: The wedding card had elements of pink and light green. So I'll wear a light pink shirt I collected from MBT3 the past weekend, and a green tie and pocket square both from Daiso.

I'm now living in Anggerikville, so plan to drive to a particular port town this Sat to sniff out exceptional tehlers.

thanks for your comment Mr Kotmj, i guess you are proud with your so call high IQ. I hope you are all rounded with high IQ.

I hope you don't mean a solid green tie.

Talking about ties, what sort of tie goes well for an almost black suit?
What colour, pattern?

Practically all ties can go with an almost black suit.

Almost all designer brands have their own in house fabric. But some of these fabric could be made by another factory for one reason or another. The fabrics like Zegna can be bought at Euro Moda or Gulatis. These shops are in Jalan TAR KL. You cannot just send a fabric to any Armani store or Zegna store and ask them to make suits out of them. Usually they have times in a year for special fittings from highly select tailors using their own in house fabrics. Priced run from few thousand to five figures. During this times, you can see the big spenders come for fittings. Unless you have a lot of 5 figures to spare for a few suits, its definitely out of reach to most people.

Zegna, Armani and such does not do tailoring in the boutiqes. But if you are in the country where the main store is, they do accept orders. But then you aleady paid a few thousand to fly there. Or you would like to pay more to fly them here?

Zegna do tailoring but they would not accept fabrics, you got to use their own they have an in house tailor which is well trained . another store that has an in house tailor is Canali,They are both Malaysians and they do have some excellant quality in them. price starts from RM9000 for a suit and RM 5000 for a sport jacket, if you have more money to burn you can wait for Angello Petrucci from Brioni's who should be down in September, prices start from RM 25000 for a suit and if you are lucky he might throw in a shirt or a tie. It would take between 2 weeks to 2 months for a complete suit it depends on how much they love you! simply means how much you have burn there!

wow. thanks for the info.

Light green with small mustard paisleys.

Ahhh.... i forgot about Zegna in KLCC. I almost always forgot they have a bunch of tailored stuff hanging back there for clients. Say... Silver2C, didn't you asked us to group tailor some suits in Zegna or Brioni way back last year?

Hate loops

It was brioni, keen to do this year? i received an email from him saying he will be down somewhere in June, I wont be making any suits but if anyone is keen do let me know.

Added on May 14, 2010, 5:28 pmyou are right both zegna and canali are MTM, but I am a very satisfied customer of Brioni and I swear by it if my pocket permits if not I stick to my loyal and humble tailor Rashidi!

Do you guys actually go into these severely expensive boutiques? I feel hesitant to do so because I know there's no way I'll be buying anything there.

I mostly just look at their window displays.
