Gentlemen,

Allow me to say hello and join the party. I've been doing my rounds on the net and researching into getting some suits made in the next few months.
I read through the whole thread last night, so I've got a decent idea of what to expect. I plan on sourcing cloth myself and simply outsourcing the labor to one the threads "Favourite 3".

AH Loke seems to be the tailor of choice, yet hit or miss and contingent on getting your ideas and points thoroughly across the language barrier. Bespoked seems to be the safer choice, but will cost you vital organs. Where do you boys generally get your cloth from? And what can I expect to pay Bespoked for labor on a fully canvased 3-piece suit with all the trimmings (pick stitching/hand sewn buttons/etc)

Most of the major textile shops are situated along Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman.

There is an existing thread on fabric but for the purposes of simplicity, I will list down the names of the favorite few:-
1. Gulati's/Euromoda
2. Binwani's /Silk Street
3. Jakel
4. Harrisons

They are all within walking distance of each other ( & Ah Loke is just around the corner )

Best make a list of your requirements & head over to Bespoked for a quote.

Excellent, I'm familiar with that area, since I've been down there to buy shirting material/silks for linings. Never been looking for suiting material though, although I remember Euro Moda being quite pricey. I'm trying to find a large windowpane plaid like this suit below, any idea on pricing per meter?

Now that you're done with this thread, would be a good idea to read the previous one:
