Added on July 29, 2010, 11:53 amkotmj & gshen are the two sifus/gurus here. kotmj has kindly provided a short guideline in one of the above threads.
1. What is your purpose for tailoring the suit? Work, wedding , ?What sort of work?
2. What is your budget?
3. How fast do you need the suit?
4. What is your body shape & built? Height?
5. What type of suit/trousers do you like? Single breasted, double breasted, 3 piece?
6. What sort of fit/cut do you prefer?
It is generally cheaper to source your own fabrics as tailors tend to levy a mark up on the suits . Binwani's is currently having a sale & you may be able to pick up some bargains. Do think through some of the above before you shop for your fabrics.
1) Well, for functions. Balls, weddings, launchings, social events in general i'd say. The frequency of the functions, i'd say about once in a couple of months?
2) Mm, with the material and workmanship, assuming I purchase the material myself, 1.5k to 2k? Is that too much? The bottom line is that I dont want to stinge on the suit
3) I guess by the next event which is about in less than 60 days, give or take. Is that long enough?
4) haha, this part is tricky.. I'm about 173cm, pretty lanky if you ask me. 173cm @ 61kg so you can imagine.
5) Mm, probably a single breasted 3-piece as for the colour, i need some help w/ this. I'm not sure as to pick a brighter colour or to opt for a more traditional, dark colour
6) I went through some styles and I think british-type suits would fit me? not too bold yet chic.
Again, if there is further reading i could do cuz I'm honestly pretty interested in the topic. any redirection would be gladly appreciated.
If there is extra information I could supply please do ask! haha
Thanks again.
