Hey guys, plan on making my first suit in KL. Basically work suits. Whats the price range for a entry level tailored suit? 1k? A little bit clueless here, whats more if I need to buy fabrics online etc. Would appreciate some tips/pointers.

Maybe uh..you should post your pic..I think you can get a fused suit under 1k, but maybe you need to bring your own fabric.

QUOTE(MeToo @ Sep 30 2011, 03:16 PM) YOu ever notice some shirt etc displayed on a mannequin looking great then doesnt look the same when u try it on? Then u noticed like 50 pins behind the mannequin holding the shirt up in various places. Same with those photoshoots displayed in magazines. That is damn good point man. How did I let that slip...cheers man...I basically just want to do up a normal suit..notch lapel, 2 buttons, no fancy linings...probably the fit that matters the most.. *keeps lurking the net* QUOTE If you bring pictures of specific elements of a suit, let's say of a patch pocket, or a particular way of making the inside facing, or of lapel roll, then there is a chance he can replicate these features. If you show him a pic and want him to replicate the general impression of the suit, it will never work. If you show him something from GQ and he actually manages to replicate that idiocy, you will regret he was successful because the suit will not be wearable. I hear you man. So in the end, ya gotta start from scratch. Thanks ! I don't think I need to bring pics if thats the case since the suit that I'd like to tailor is pretty generic in features.This post has been edited by shanecross: Sep 30 2011, 07:41 PM |
