Sorry, not familiar with the terms.

I meant that I failed to communicate out my points because of my lack of words to use.

Rather than a skirt's flare, I think mine looks more like this;

Oi Loke-chai, when is your Rubynacci going to be ready la?

Aiyah, next month only first fitting. I'm going to korrect my lavender shirt and white pants on the 26th.

I don't believe a word of that. You, donating?

You don't know? I was promoted to take care of the cattles.

Suit looks great on you. I would go with 0.5" wider lapels the next time.

But you need shirts with a more European colour palette. Light blue solids, whites, blue stripes, pink stripes, etc. Not these dark shirts. And while DSN likes his pocket square to be of the same fabric as his tie, people don't usually do that.

it was the alt idea that i should go for darker colour...my first choice was the light blue solids...even my wife had the same consensus with alt

the next commissioning of navy 3 piece will be a single button suit....it was alt idea again.....

will put the pocket square in my shopping list when im travelling again.....thanks kotmj

All my single breasteds will be single button from now. The single button allows for a longer lapel, making for a more elongating effect. It also makes the jacket symmetrical -- the opening of the lapel mirrors the opening of the quarters, making for a harmonious look.



You should get shirts like these:

Had a wonderful meeting and evening tea at coffee bean with kotmj after my 1st fitting of 3 piece Zegna Navy suit. Was told that there was a forumer came to alt for 3 piece suit ....but he was such in a hurry....

Pls ignore the pants as the fitting for pants is not necessary with the same measurement of the previous suit...and apologise for the low quality pic taken using Blackberry Bold 9700....





Cant wait to commission the dress shirt ...after seeing the ONE made by alt for kotmj.....

Wow, I'm such a lousy photographer!

Okay.... here's my completed suit....





It still looks kind of weird to me... but its already the case of nasi sudah jadi bubur.

Hey, a sideview pic would be great..

The final results are much better. Give a pat on your shoulder.

The front looks good enough. The armholes are indeed high. A tad short overall.

Well.... thanks for the help guys.

So I was there waiting for Mr Zegna (the man formerly known as silencer) to arrive, when this boy and this girl walk in. Quite beddable, that girl.

The boy says he wants a 3-piece. This got my attention. I mean, who ever orders a 3-piece nowadays?

I asked him what he wants to do with the suit -- it's his wedding suit he replies. He chose a light grey mix wool. RM1200.

It was all over in 10 minutes. It was a most uninspiring way to bespeak a suit. The couple seemed to be in a hurry to copulate. The only instruction he gave AL was that it should be narrow in the waist. Also took out a stack of GQ magazines a la Jind.

He asked me if I was from the lowyat forum. I said I don't know.
