The moral of the story is :-Having a good looking babe on your arms will help mitigate any sartorial faux pas!!

How about gray lining for a navy suit?

Lokemui, about your prominent shoulder blades, I'll need to see pics in order to make an accurate recommendation.

But the waistcoat will be worn alone and I wanted it to look business at the same time without a matching lining.

Just go with a navy lining. Less is more.

Someone from Canada PM'd me a while ago about the possibility of having a suit made in 3 days in ALT.

(BTW, there is now finally a 24 hours tailor in KL. I saw their advert on the Bukit Bintang monorail station in bright red.)

He chose a Zegna S120 (WTF) and it will be sent to him in Canada. He went for 3 fittings. He was quite happy with the interaction with the tailor.

Wow, 3 fitting in 3 days with ALT?

Just curious though, does ALT do unlined or half-lined suits? I'm thinking of getting a summer suit or two done.

Cheers,

I think he got it wrong, he had a measurement session followed by 2 fitting sessions. It's the least the tailor could do given the huge profits from selling Zegna cloth.

Half lined is no problem. Unlined is currently not a possibility but wait till beau barges in and works the tailor over.

Should I add yfyf on fagbook?

you write letters of adoration to him?

add me first.

Depends on the tone of grey-Something in shinny deep grey may be interesting otherwise I would opt for a lining in a different color.

Added on September 1, 2010, 12:00 amI'll work on an unlined suit much later -my current priority is to source for some hymo lining & other items to make a fully canvassed non-fused SB 3 piece suit ( fully lined ) Looks like you've given AL a major paradigm shift. He has since changed his tune about "shapeless non fused suit" ( Yung Sau Zhou )

I was thinking of a casual hacking jacket in Moleskins after we get the first suit right which should see me through my holidays year end.

The unlined jacket may follow thereafter

lala Q&A?

Where a bunch of people have a Q&A session about lala fashion sense.

1. Are you planning to have this tailored for you? and
2. Is there shinny fabric on his lapel?

What are you planning to use this for ( assuming you are getting one in the first instance )

Ha. Ha.

Ha.

Ooh, that's noice. Already purchased?

No, gshen, that is the ebay cloth I wrote about (STG35/m). If it was a chalkstripe I would have pounced after a 5 second deliberation.

Could be interesting in DB
