thanks to a certain someone i believe...

unless some computer savvy makcik comes along and googles him. his facebook pic is sooooo cute.

you actually gave me an idea on how to find him lol. and i actually found him.

hey guys, I want to make a suit right now.
would like to know how much would it cost around subang area.
I'm planning to get a silver(glossy) grey suit.
Kuantan can tailor it for RM350. Wondering subang area cost how much?

Wow, AL has been attending night courses in marketing and has engaged a marketing consultant and is now revamping his offering. Customers get to choose from four distinct models of suits, each with unique characteristics: The Oil Trader, The Capitalist, and The Tycoon. The fourth model is currently under development, and from what I was told it is to appeal to the lower income customers and will be fused. It is tentatively called The Project Manager. These models were directly inspired by influential customers at ALT.

The Oil Trader has Malaysia's most unqiue shoulder -- The Single Ply Shoulder ™. A single ply of wadding at the tip of the shoulder is all there is.



Details of The Capitalist and The Tycoon will be revealed soon.

Added on August 27, 2011, 11:41 pmMore details have emerged about the four model lineup.

The Oil Trader
The most youthful silhouette of the house, the jacket has the most aggressive shaping through the torso and the most stylized shoulders bespoke tailoring techniques can realise. Slim cut sleeves, a high gorge, straight lapels, a low buttoning point, and very open quarters are standard. Choose from four shoulder variants: The Ultra Natural Shoulder featuring a single ply of wadding, The Concave Shoulder, The Pagoda Shoulder and our standard Straight Shoulder. Trousers are flat front and slim fit with belt loops. Constructed with a mix of hand and machine sewing with a well-considered use of fusing at the pocket mouths and welts and front edge. Fully canvassed.

The Capitalist
A conservative business suit with typical English understatement. Wear this to boardroom meetings and for photo sessions for the next annual report. Classic sleeves, a medium gorge, mildly bellied lapels, a neutral buttoning point and slightly open quarters. Shaping is moderate and shoulders are straight. Trousers are double forward pleated and cuffed and choose from either side buckles or suspender options. Available as a single breasted or double breasted. Same construction techniques as The Oil Trader.

The Tycoon
A suit with no compromises. Our most poetic. We offer for your selection a well-curated range of the most exquisite cloths ever woven including vicuna and escorial. Canvassing material is ultra soft and springy wool with mohair. There is no fusing anywhere, and the front edges are reinforced with linen tape felled by hand in silk thread. This is our true 6000 stitches suit, and the hand stitching extends to the trousers. Available in any configuration, we are happy to advise you on the possibilities.

feels like i'm reading an oakley catalogue, what with the exotic names attached to the elaborate descriptions.

Kot, surely the Project Manager can't be "to appeal to the lower income customers and will be fused". How about "for the most yim chim of customers who knows what they want, provides his own materials and haggle for the lowest prices"? lulz

I think i have a pretty clear idea on who The Tycoon and The Capitalist is based on but I have no idea on who The Oil Trader is based on. Any clues?

They may sound exotic to common folk, but I've actually met these people at alt. In fact just yesterday I met an Oil Trader over there. You were there too -- didn't you see him?

Added on August 28, 2011, 3:59 pmThe Project Manager model is for those who know they need a suit soon but procrastinates going to the tailor until the last moment then goes in lan si lan yong and asks for full canvassing then suffers from sticker shock and lead time shock then begs al to squeeze in a fused suit in time for his wedding/conference/overseas trip...

hmmmm not sure if i saw an oil trader yesterday, but i think i may have caught a whiff of hydrocarbons lingering in the air at ALT's...

I saw this suit in Uniqlo KL today. Its selling for RM399. Made from 98% wool and 2%polyester (that's what the label says).
It is normal for wool to feel course?
The one I felt in G2000 feels so much smoother.
Anyone tried on uniqlo's suit before?

Here's some pictures of me in it. Please comment






Didn't manage to get any picture of the back

slim fit rite ? is that a M size ?

I would become an ALT fan if his marketeer could churn out some creative ideas and specifications for The Poultry Farmer.

Poultry farmers wear Pagoda singlets.

Just bought the Wall Street DVD and took a few snapshots.

Perfect fit


Fabulous pattern


Killer ensemble


Inspirational DB

Wow.... didnt know anyone else here trades oil for a living as well. Should have met up and talk biz hahaha

First fitting session at Wardrobe last Saturday.
Single breasted 2 buttons, non-vent, 3 piece, SLIM fit.
Peak lapels, flat front trousers.

1. Knee area a tad wide, gonna slim it down abit.
2. Not sure if I'm happy with the pants length, but if i shorten it anymore, I'm gonna need really high socks when sitting down.
3. They will clean up the back of the pants, maybe my ass aint perky enough. shrug.
4. Knows nuts about the vest, probably will hardly use it.
5. Will shorten the jacket abit (pinned up in the photo).
6. Rigth sleeve a tad too short, but that will change as they fix the shoulder.
7. Sleeve too loose/wide, right hand pinned up to reflect changes.
8. Shoulder way too wide, will fix.
9. Shoulder pads from an initial SIX, reduced to 3 (after MUCH argument), think will move to 2 after they fix the shoulder.
10. Overall body too wide, will reduce width.

Any comments appreciated!
