Everyone seems to be doing it that way, with the exception of Malaysian tailors.

I would go:

"Wai Dai Lou, I'm not doing a french cuffed suit leh, how to see how wide is my cuff with all those turned up sei yan fabric block kao my view?"

"Leng chai, ngo hoi chi cho sam lei tou mei chut sai ah!"

This one blurted by the tailor or u?

There were two other new developments at AL today.

First, he has received all the Dugdale stuff. I spent some time leafing through the books. Very old fashioned English stuff. The cloths do not have the soft hand of Italian stuff.

Second, our Tan Sri has commissioned (yet) another suit.

Just thought I'd share a suit i made at a local tailor last year

Just recovered from a long fever.........that 5th suit by AL is inline with your pattern recommendation...a gray color with striped pattern....I'm really impressed with AL works for both of my suit and dress shirts.... cant wait to collect my 3rd dress shirt with stay and french cuff from him next week.....anyone here is planning to order ermazine lining online...!!!

It doesn't look that good. Not curvaceous enough, not distinctive, no personality. The lapels are too skinny, the hacking pockets are too sloping as to look sad, and the sleeves are not done optimally.

Also it seems to have some issues at the waist, but that may be due to your posture. I would like to see the back.

Please also never wear that shirt with this suit ever again.

suiting related matter, can anyone recommend a good dry-cleaning place for suits?

Have you used Jeeves? How much?

AL recommended me to a place at Jln Imbi next to SAI or something like that. But nobody goes to Jln Imbi.

not yet..just use the normal dry cleaning at sect 13...and its a franchised dry cleaning svc with several branches in klang valley....only xcosts me rm12 persuit.....but i believe, Jeeves svc charge will be triple...

I concur. If Jeeves does use those newfangled cleaning agent, it will cost a whole lot more. Impossible they would charge the regular RM12 rate for suits.

Just my 2 Sen. Actually you don't look bad but here are my humble observations.

1. I concur with kotmj. The pocket slope may be a bit too extreme. It's been said a 15-degree slant should be the maximum (can anyone verify please?)
2. Lapels look a bit out of proportion with this suit.
3. Breast pocket - forgive me if I'm wrong but is it slanting to your left? I believe it should be angled slightly down toward the lapel. This is to make up for the distortion caused by the curvature of the chest: It looks slanted on the hanger, but when you put it on, it looks straight.
4. I may be wrong but visually your jacket looks a little long. I'm just a beginner but I believe it's been written that a properly-fitting jacket will have its waist button just below the wearer's actual waist. Is that true on your jacket?
5. You may have a long torso and a 3-button might suit you better.

Pardon me if I mentioned anything wrong, just my humble contribution.

The pockets do look very extremely slanted. But he can't do anything to change it. The suit seems more narrower on top than bottom. Hmmm....

Perhaps if he keeps the flaps inside it will be fine. No use worrying too much about it.

Keeping the flaps inside would make it look much like those Korean things.

Makes it easier to blend in at Koong Jung for Soh Kahlbi and O Ching Eh Dub Pab.

I like his pink flip flop.

Hey i didn't even spot that! Why is a girly sole in there? hahaha.
