I believe malutapisangatmau works for Granoff. Probably Mansor's brother.

I think that Granoff BM to be very much to my idea of the ideal BM. The colour is not fuchsia pink (don't laugh, I've seen it before), it is linen, and it even has a pocket square of enormous proportions.

They might actually do BMs better than western suits.

I saw someone who was in the process of turning his David & John Anderson fabric to a Baju Melayu ( without the sampin ) Not sure if this fabric is available in Malaysia. Another friend made one in Soktas from Jackal. Lovely fabric but extremely overpriced.

Is it? I really dunno. If he/ she is, i really kena played kaw kaw. hahahah

The pink/ fuchsia one isn't as attractive as the current blue one. But if your feedback was used for their creation, great. Stalking in forums does produce results! I think its way much more easier to infuse western detailing in baju melayu than the other way around.

I wonder how suiting material looks like as a baju melayu? I mean i have seen from Jln Tar quite a few made with shirting materials. We already seen many made with linen. Really curious here.

A nice plaid for the sampin perhaps? Not sure if it's practical for the shirt & pants.

Naaaahhh.... i don't think so. Most songket already look like plaids. Kain pelikat maybe? Cotton with box check. The colors are much more stronger deeper for sampins. Kain sarong anyone?

Suiting material for BM. Thats a thought. Maybe i sould go to the drapery section to hunt for carpets to be made a BM? hahah. Thats crazy.

if you want to be adventurous, make a BJM using 2-ply supplex-----

can you spot me fr the pics collection?

since we are closer to fasting month for muslims, hari raya will always be in our mind. me myself is still looking for the best baju melayu design. dont know what kind of baju melayu to wear. anyone can give advise on designs n fashions on these baju melayu.

pakai taun lepas punye suda la patil

not so cantek la taun lepas punye

Baju Malaya is backing town. Ramadhan bazaar coming.

aiya
baju melayu wear last year one la

Wahh... so fast 1 year already. And the story i wrote is now 1 year old... hahaha. Anyway Mydin just restocked new Baju Melayu. If you are on budget, can go check them out. The new stocks have XS (Extra Small) First time i see. Kamdar is clearing out some old models this month. Lowest i saw was RM47 for baju melayu set. RM25 for the top only. I think the next few weeks, if you have the time can go look in Giant and Carrefour. Expect to pay about RM90 this year for better looking ones.

I do not know if tailoring charges are raised this year. But everything is. But i'm not buying any of those sort this year. Already crossed out the to do list.
