Is TG#4's gorge Lokemui-approved?

Is the left shoulder over-concaved or was that just due to your hand positioning, holding the camera? Wait a minute....lets call it camera-holding-shoulder-side: the image looks inverted.

Lokemui likes it deeper

Yes, one shoulder is not cooperating with me. The shoulders "luo yan meng" to make. But the concavity is pretty ephemeral, and the moment I set the sleeves the concavity will change again (because of the weight of the sleeves).

Also, one of the lapels is a tad wider because the bridle on that side was not drawn as much as on the other. I've since found a more quatitative technique for drawing the bridle and will use that for No. 1. Also, generally, Cabrera tapes the front edge and lapels too early; I will reshuffle the steps to delay the taping for as long as possible. The human eye is just too sensitive to lapel widths.

Added on September 4, 2011, 5:28 pmThat is too radical lah. It's all gorge and no lapel anymore.

BTW the lapels are 4", not the intended 3.5" because I did not take out the 1/2" gorge dart. With No. 1 I will do 3.5". I think 4" is too exaggerated.

Hmm... you seem to lurk the Pavillion branch more often, the lady still there?

Second fitting's this Saturday (10th Sept) as I need the suit by 15th Oct...

Huh, I won't be in KL this weekend. Just tell them the pics will bring down the house if they don't do a good job.

Added on September 6, 2011, 10:23 pmIt looks a lot better than most of the "custom tailored" stuff you find here. However, it has a certain cheap look to it, though few will ever detect it. May have to do with the fabric and the lack of crispness.

When RTW delivers a better product than a custom made garment you know the industry is in trouble. Having met so many tailors, very few of them actually deserve to be called such. Most are just charlatans with very low personal standards.

Anyone know where to buy a long sleeve shirt with collar?
I saw a lot of shop already but they dont have collar that type.

Thanks.

Should have gotten myself a mannequin a long time ago.

Added on September 10, 2011, 6:30 pmHowever, they have only one size and this mannequin is a bit bigger than me and the shoulder slope is wrong and is also a bit more stooped than me.
