Pretty sure Wardrobe's lapels are not padded, i.e. not pad stitched. I think they use a fusible hair+rayon canvas. Wardrobe has pretty good lapel roll, from what I recollect. Hugo Boss has voluptuous roll but they are not padded either.

This is the real article:

Sweet...I'm gonna bring that pic to AL to replicate.would make it neater.

is topman blazer worth rm200?

Bro.. if u wanan go RTW. Try Padini.... surgeon cuffs, nice lining, etc.... heck even Hugo boss RTW stuff dont necessary have workign cuffs.

talking about rtw, a colleague of mine wore a jacket she bought from H&M to work yesterday. it wasn't exactly a great fit on her because of her very ample chest (ahem), but what caught my attention was that the jacket has working cuffs. and the lining was done in the traditional manner (correct me if i'm wrong): white material with thin stripes for the sleeves, and a rather cute white polka dot on blue/black material for the torso.

not bad for sgd60.

Hi, this is my first fitting session at ALT for a fully canvassed 2 button navy blazer.
AL said he was going to rotate the sleeves but besides that I couldn't really catch anything else.
I forgot to ask him to take the a side profile picture.
Comments on the ongoing work are appreciated.

Sorry im noob, what is RTW? im currently looking at 2 blazers to find. here is the picture of them.

Here is from topman:



Here is a korean brand, 3/4 sleeves which looks good too:



which one better ya? Yes, i know both are not branded. These are the only one within my budget

RTW = Ready To Wear

the waist suppression on that ALT suit is ridiculous. nice hourglass figure you have going on.

gentle guys? seriously?

Whats wrong?

The jacket has a very feminine side to it from the back.

Regarding the super waist suppression for the above jacket... i think the back looks ridiculous due to the camera angle lah. Old man Loke dunno how to use the camera. Nonetheless, the waist suppression is a little on the OMFGWTFBBQ side.

Good luck with your first commission, I long for the day I myself can afford BESPOKE. Fabric colour looks fantastic. Fit notes (from judging purely by the pictures):

1) Suit jacket length looks abit short
2) Quarters look square to me, not a fan of the look (this might change in the final product - not sure)
3) Shoulders seem to be extending beyond your natural shoulder, but again, I'm judging from a photo.
4) Too much of waist suppression on the back

Suits aren't meant to look like they are painted on your body. Clean lines yes, but not to the point of looking like a leotard. Balance is what you want to look for in a suit - your shoulder to waist drop is pretty severe, I would say less suppression along the waist would produce a more masculine appearance.

Extreme example:

1) Pre-pubescent boy


2) Man

Is there such rule on this guys? as i've said, im noob in suiting and fashion.

Which one is better depends on situation & where u plan to wear it.

With the 3/4 sleeve, can wear for clubbing or if your line of work allows non traditional clothes (eg in creative industry such as showbusiness, advertising etc). For obvious reasons, I doubt if u can wear it with a long sleeve dress shirt...only a short sleeve shirt or t-shirt..unless if u roll up your shirt sleeves..

With that Topman, u can wear it to a job interview, office, business meeting in a more formal work setting (eg banking, accounting etc) and even clubbing. Can pair it with long/short sleeves or tshirt.

So it depends...

cheap labour

Planning on using it as casual wear. I already hv a 3 buttoned suit for formal occasion. Is it true 3/4 sleeves are form girls? is it a universal rule or something?

Don't do it! I use to work in Advertising, and believe me when I tell you that you'll be laughed out of the studio. 3/4 sleeves for shirts is already bad enough. 3/4 sleeves on a suit jacket is a joke! It's as bad as wearing your underwear on the outside.

Hey guys, this is also my first fitting with AL today.
