tell everyone you want to be buried in that suit

put on hangar and leave till tomorrow. some suits are meant to be wrinkled, like linen suits. maybe ramie too.

You should think of getting your suits from Anderson & Sheppard at Savile Row , London. They sew their labels in the inner pocket of their jackets so there is little chance of the label falling off!!

Just received this in my inbox. Scabal newsletter.

Kim Jong Il's label addiction revealed

Korea's influencial paper since 1920 "Chosun" reports: Kim Jong-il's Mao suit is anything but affordable and utilitarian, according to a defector who used to supply luxury goods to the North Korean leader. "It should be called a luxury suit instead," said the defector, who requested anonymity.

While working for the regime, his job was to tour the country's embassies and consulates overseas and buy goods for Kim. "In the early 1990s, I was ordered to buy fabric for the dear leader and went to France to buy 60 yards of high-quality, cashmere and silk fabric produced by Scabal of London," he said. "I paid US$300 per yard, which came to $18,000."

About four yards of fabric are needed to make a suit, so the price of the cloth alone for Kim's suit amounted to $1,200. The North Korean leader apparently hands out fabric as a gift to his closest aides. "Even in terms of South Korean standards, that would be quite a luxurious product," the defector said. "But for the average North Korean it is unimaginable."


Kim Jong Il likes Scabal

But expensive price tags alone do not guarantee products a spot on Kim's wish list. "Kim Jong-il developed a liking for Scabal, because he heard foreign celebrities enjoy wearing clothes made using the fabric."

Park Je-hyun, who owns a tailor shop in the trendy Cheongdam-dong neighborhood in Seoul, said, "Scabal doesn't wrinkle easily, which is why people on the move like it." Fans include U.S. Presidents and movie stars.

At one time Kim apparently only wore shoes made by Italian cobbler Moreschi. "In early 2000, high-ranking North Korean government officials heard a rumor that the Dear Leader wears only Moreschi shoes, so they scoured Moreschi stores whenever they went on overseas trips," the defector said.

Kim is picky about his luxury brands. According to the defector, he has a penchant for Perrier bottled water, Martell Cognac and imported menthol cigarettes. One foreign diplomat said, "During his visit to China in 2005, Kim Jong-il was delighted to see bottles of Perrier that Chinese officials had prepared for him and asked his aides how the Chinese knew he liked Perrier."

The defector said, "I used to go to Switzerland a lot to buy large numbers of Omega watches. They weren't all for Kim Jong-il, but as rewards for his staff. He added, "Kim Jong-il doesn't need a watch. If he wants to know the time, he can just ask his underlings."

The suits look nice, but generally everything looks good on a model's body. How much is the asking price for the suit and just the pants?

Whether it is a good buy ornot depends on the value proposition i.e. bang for your buck.

Beau,
Ben (the Dj) pretended to be an Indian gentleman (complete with heavy accent) asking ALT if he could make a suit using his wife's huge and expensive collection of Saree cloth.

Ben then asked if he could have vegetables and fruits attached to the suit.

ALT was cool tho, he just said 1) Saree will make a transparent suit, hence unsuitable and 2) He can't help with having vegetables and fruits attached to the suit.

When pressed further, ALT just said that there is a customer walking in and he needed to attend to him, and after saying "sorry I can't help you", promptly hung up on Ben.

Why don't you just get yourself bespoke for once? You will never go back to these if you do. You can choose any shiny fabric you want.

Excellent, what sort of fabric for the Zegna?

Are you going for the basic "Su Misura" MTM or the "Couture" ?

The "Couture" is the one to get as it has a significant amount of hand detailing
