Is that a Mao suit you'll be getting?

Our Tan Sri here likes Saturday team meetings...

You mean to say she has no mass appeal?

I tried on a navy Mandarin collar suit today, or what is generally known as the Mao suit. It fits me very well, except lengthwise. I think I look most formidable in it, like Neo in The Matrix. Like some assassin for hire. An Oriental kung fu master. I might even get myself one someday.

The Tan Sri was there. Every time I meet with him, he reveals something new about himself. I think one day he will tell me over coffee that besides taking over the world, he has a side business, that he runs an escort agency for high-income clients, and that he would like me to sample his portfolio of girls. Something like that.

Oh the Tan Sri has basically perfected his pattern. His suits need no more touch ups -- everything fits 98%. The Armani "V" black suit will look great for evening wear. Unlike plain black (polyester) suits, the Armani designers understood that there is a need for more visual interest in a black suit. Hence the V pattern on it. The V shimmers slightly under spotlight.

My pink shirt is fantastic! I have finally found my cut. And the Cunning Plan is in full action.

Would like to ask if anyone has used merino wool for a suit before? How's the feel like?

Merino feels more luxurious than wiping your arse with silk.

Would you happen to have a few used underwears instead?

Will you be collecting the finished suit next or will you have another fitting?

Yes, please, unwashed. Preferably stained. Such matters are too delicate to involve the hapless tailor. You can hand them to me personally. I would also like to take off the one you're wearing then.

PS: There is 0.0% chance it will be a wreck.

I read that it typically takes 3 weeks for a suit to be made at ALT. Is there a faster turnover time? I will be back in Malaysia for only 2 weeks and I am thinking of getting his services for a suit.

Appreciate an answer from the ALT regulars, thanks.

actually i found it by accident when i decided to have pizza. Very big sign boards.
Anyway, went to pick up my suit today. I asked for a three piece suit and one peach shirt. The peach shirt's fit was excellent, although i had difficulty buttoning the two-collar buttons. Tailor told me he'd make the buttonholes a bit bigger. I also asked the tailor to do a double-pocket trousers. He told me he's never seen anything like it before and it was very hard to do. The trousers also fit like a glove, very snug and accentuates my really cute ass.

But the jacket was dissapointing. During the last fitting, i asked him to pull it in a bit, make it a bit more tighter around the waist. He didn't do it. So i asked him to pull it in by another 2 inches on each side. This is what it looks like after he pinned it.

the suit also didn't come with a lapel buttonhole but a lapel loop. should i ask for a buttonhole as well?

Jacket looks good from the front. Have the sleeves shortened by a quarter inch and the trousers by a whole inch.

Japonaise national team. First time I heard of samurai blue. Notice not much cuff show. At most 0.25". Shoulders too padded for my taste. Oh yeah, the Tan Sri and I saw a Dunhill navy linen jacket at ALT last week. Nothing special, really.

The English national team in Marks and Spencer 3 pieces. Skinny lapels, hacking pockets, flat front trousers. Nothing English about it. No drape anywhere.

The Italian national team in Dolce and Gabbana. 3 pcs peaked lapels, skinny ties, thin collars.

First, that's Godmj for you.

Second, I have no pictures of bikini-clad girls. They're all naked, and in various stages of being penetrated.

No wait, I think I do have one after all. I even got it from SF itself.Attached Image

Those are pad stitches. You will see them again later once my navy suit is completed. But triple the stitches.

I'm pretty sure that apart from Loky and me, nobody on this forum knows what that pic is about.
