QUOTE(netmatrix @ May 13 2010, 09:49 AM) Almost all designer brands have their own in house fabric. But some of these fabric could be made by another factory for one reason or another. The fabrics like Zegna can be bought at Euro Moda or Gulatis. These shops are in Jalan TAR KL. You cannot just send a fabric to any Armani store or Zegna store and ask them to make suits out of them. Usually they have times in a year for special fittings from highly select tailors using their own in house fabrics. Priced run from few thousand to five figures. During this times, you can see the big spenders come for fittings. Unless you have a lot of 5 figures to spare for a few suits, its definitely out of reach to most people. Zegna, Armani and such does not do tailoring in the boutiqes. But if you are in the country where the main store is, they do accept orders. But then you aleady paid a few thousand to fly there. Or you would like to pay more to fly them here?  Zegna do tailoring but they would not accept fabrics, you got to use their own they have an in house tailor which is well trained . another store that has an in house tailor is Canali,They are both Malaysians and they do have some excellant quality in them. price starts from RM9000 for a suit and RM 5000 for a sport jacket, if you have more money to burn you can wait for Angello Petrucci from Brioni's who should be down in September, prices start from RM 25000 for a suit and if you are lucky he might throw in a shirt or a tie. It would take between 2 weeks to 2 months for a complete suit it depends on how much they love you! simply means how much you have burn there!

QUOTE(netmatrix @ May 14 2010, 11:20 AM) Ahhh.... i forgot about Zegna in KLCC. I almost always forgot they have a bunch of tailored stuff hanging back there for clients. Say... Silver2C, didn't you asked us to group tailor some suits in Zegna or Brioni way back last year? It was brioni, keen to do this year? i received an email from him saying he will be down somewhere in June, I wont be making any suits but if anyone is keen do let me know.

How does it help you? Does it even help you? Is anything capable of helping you? Added on May 13, 2010, 9:31 pmIf I'm not mistaken, both houses only do MTM, not bespoke. And if SF reports are anything to go by, there is no "successful" MTM. They are all technically unsatisfactory. you are right both zegna and canali are MTM, but I am a very satisfied customer of Brioni and I swear by it if my pocket permits if not I stick to my loyal and humble tailor Rashidi!

QUOTE(kneok @ Jun 30 2010, 01:32 AM) i was too lazy to wear a belt during the fitting, and wore the pants at the hips, a bit below my cute pot-belly. but i've tried the pants again with the belt and the breaks were considerably lesser. i think the back is a bit weird, although i can't pinpoint exactly what it is but i love how it accentuates my figure. here are pictures of the pants pockets i asked the tailor to do:    i dunno what it's called. double pocket? both pockets are full pockets with similar room. but its only on the right, the left pocket only has one pocket. Got the idea from my ted baker smart jeans. can't find the original jeans maybe ill post it up later. Did you get it done from Richard's in Ampang Park?
