QUOTE(hihihehe @ Jul 7 2011, 09:06 PM) bought a blazer suit from Topman(slim fit as i m skinny) Well it could happen. If there is a need to take off more than 1 inch, the button area will look a little weird. Depends how the tailor can work on hiding the visual defect from the modification. everything fine but i just dun like the length of the arm. is too long until it reach my hands' palm. plan to cut it shorter(from 4 buttons to 3 buttons) but i worry it will make it more ugly any solution?  |

QUOTE(pasquinel @ Jul 10 2011, 12:18 AM) I recently took a jacket with non-working cuffs to Kwong Fook wing to have it shortened about half an inch. Mr.Kwong removed all the buttons, shortened the sleeves, hand stitched all the fake buttonholes and replaced the buttons again. Yeah i have thought that one can remove the fake buttonholes and buttons. And shift it up to desired length. But the work to remove the fake buttonholes must be tiring. If its just 3 buttonper sleeve, ok la. But if 4 of those latest 5 ones..... damn! Also would not know if there is a way to move working buttonholes without leaving damaged fabric. Hm..... maybe some sifoo have the technique or something.If you have working cuffs it's gonna be a lot more complicated. |

QUOTE(fazlang @ Aug 2 2011, 12:22 AM) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « For about RM400, u can get a fused poly or mixedwool tailormade suit, at the tailors in Pudu Plaza. Cheapest quote in recent times was about RM250 from a tailor in Port Dickson. All prices include fabric. These poly suits may not be Styleforum, AskAndy or LYN forum approved, but u may very well end up liking it and get a lot of use out of it until u decide to get a better suit. Heck, even some branded RTW (eg Zegna) and SavileRow suits are fused... If ur ever on holiday in Thailand or Vietnam, u might even get cheaper prices for suits comparable in quality & making to the fused tailored suits here. p.s. was at Kamdar and saw horsehair canvassing on halflined Korean made suit jackets (old stock), on sale at less than RM100...huhu!  Last i saw some guy borong everything already. |

QUOTE(Mihawk7 @ Nov 16 2011, 03:52 PM) The common way is to unbutton the lowest button for 3 buttons and 2 buttons suits. And what do you guys think about 1 button suit? is it a proper suit for real men? or just kpop style wannabe?  Single button has been around since the 1920s'. Whatever K'pop, Jpop, Marc Jacobs, slim crap everyone calls it, recycles designs from yesteryear with new cutting.  This post has been edited by netmatrix: Nov 16 2011, 06:40 PM |
