Anybody heard of the brand 'Domanchi'? I tried on yesterday at a local tailor shops in Kulim and the owner told me that he's selling it at RM420. The material is 'water-repellant'.

Is the price reasonably okay for the brand?

You mean a water repellent 2 piece suit for RM420?

The lapel doesn't look so wide now, does it?


At the rate this is going I definitely will finish mine before KFW finishes pas'.

Looking good there, would really love to try out KFW but due to his time of completion, tough luck.

Yes, what do you think? I am hoping anybody here is familiar with the brand, Domanchi. Website says that it is from Singapore but can find them in Midvalley/Pavilion. Wonder how much the price range.

I have a Domanchi suit I bought from Pavilion. When I first put it on I was astonished by well well it fitted and how youthful the cut was, not one of these uncle suits you see uncles wearing to trade fairs with their entry passes hanging from their necks.

But I never wore it out. Too shiny, too slim, too fashion forward... would have been OK if I had a more junior job but my first job out of uni was as a manager so no way I was gonna look like a college kid in a cheap suit...

do you think the size ok or not? not tailor

Size looks fine but the lapel looks wrinkly. Caught my attention immediately.

thanks

jacket looks tight. size up.

IMO. 3 button suit doesnt look good on anyone. too classic. go for 2 buttons the most.

thanks, will try the 2 button then post again

I've seen those that are raked up even higher. That gold lining is more remarkable.

Worth a look? its not the KFW you guys were talking about right?

just went to alt for my 3rd and final fitting session, everything looks great after kot's alteration, the pants do looks much better, and alt extended both shoulder by 1/4". Will be picking up my suit in a week's time.

That's a very nicely written article. Not to New York Times level, but in the top percentile in a country where people do not know how to write.

If you've met Mr Kwong in person you would not guess he is 63-years old. I thought he was 10 years younger.

We discussed exactly this topic on Sat in PapaRich near ALT.

BTW, AL now has a second coatmaker. His original coatmaker seems to now do exclusively FC stuff (and is running at full capacity).

Added on August 23, 2011, 8:31 pmA Malay guy (not The Capitalist, though his DB is also ready for collection) has a FC suit there waiting for pickup. It is quite awesome. The buttonholes were made using my gimp (I wonder if he gave the secret handshake?) and silk thread. The lapels were profusively padded. Horn buttons. His own mid grey worsted.

Another guy went for a DB in house navy kid mohair. FC.

i'm confused because in the article it says KFH not KFW. Well we'd know why his suits are so slow to siap. Probably worrying about no longer having a shop.

How much does ALT charge for a suit nowadays? I have yet to make my navy SB and may just take the plunge there
