do u wanna try Korea Brand? Good Quality and unique designs

Both Padini and G2000 are having a promotion of 2 shirts for RM129 right now. Quality wise, you should get the G2000 as their strings are not flimsy like the one you find from Padini's.

G2000's available colours are all plain, with an array 4 types from each tone of purple, blue, pink and grey. Padini however, have different types of colours and design.

All good for skinny body (unless you're super skinny, try the 14 1/2 size from G2000).

Well you can always opt for Topman's plain shirt with contrast buttons at RM119 each currently.

For trousers, get the 1 from G2000. Padini's trousers, although being slim-fit, it still looks fat due to the soft fabric they use and they have very very deep pockets. Well, it will be good if you're super tall or you have long arms

Go see a tailor.

u can go to jusco or parkson as they have padini, seed, alain delon, renoma, g2000, etc with discounted price during megasale or promotion period

is it already start?

last week i go still got promotion but i not sure tis week still have onot try ur luck lor

how much g2000 shirt?

i din look at g2000 lol but i think should be around the same price as padini coz the original price of padini shirt is around rm129 b4 discount

For me padini overpeiced..i would buy another brand for that price range.. XD

I bought quite a alot of Brooks Brothers rejected shirts from a local shop. At first i didn't realise because they cut the label at the collar. Then I recognised their label method of washing. 2 shirts for RM63. Beside that they have some good quality shirts, scout around and you will notice.

Bro, may I know where's that 'local shop'....? Thanks!

I guess after i tell the shop name, the shirts will be soon out of stock.
It's FOS, go to their biggest store (actually where is it?). Sizes, colours and pattern maybe limited.

pls go back and edit your post. remove the source.

Ah, nevermind... good thing must share with all

they are thankless cannibals. you will regret it.

Well, mayb if I mistaken for as real. So buy at your own risk. Misleading infor I guess.

Driving now to FOS......vrooommm...oppps its 1.05AM.....

in my list i only have 2 brand in my mind
g2000 and quicksilver.

Okay, going to FOS now.

Thanks mate. There I said thanks.

I'm looking for size 14.5, which is XS. Do you know any shops beside G2000, Topman sells this size of shirts?

No worries mate, join me, i'm setting up tent just outside..

hi, i got 2 black dress shirts.. one dress shirt has black checkered pattern and another one has vertical stripes also in black. hardly worn cuz im not really sure how to pair them. wat colour of tie to pair wiv?

n also, ive came across recently tat more ppl paired black dress shirt with brown tie n brown pants.. is tat ok since black n brown said not to worn together..? quite confused cuz sometimes it looked nice..

red tie black pants

These are not shirts for men. These are factory-made shirts with garish branding in cheapo China fabric for unwashed provincial lala plebian phillistine cubicle dwellers who still live with their parents.

But you wear chintzy yellow coloured striped polos and a red T-shirt.

dunno wat your talking about bcos i wear bespoke shirts in alumo fabrics and sleep on high threadcount long staple cotton bedsheets

Hi guys, just wanna where can I get affordable casual button shirt/dress shirt/or whatever you guys call it...and the shirt doesn't have to be too formal as in just for the purpose to work in office only, mayb fo clubbin?

Thanks

Cotton On selling cheap distressed shirt, somewhat looks like chambray, for RM50. Something like this

Esprit/EDC selling shirt for RM99.90 when on sales, Zara selling for RM139.90, Topman and so on. You just have to look around.

How bout Seeds those?? will those to formal?

I saw 1 blue casual shirt from Seed Pavilion, not bad looking.

where can get slim fitted tee ?? to match with skinny jeans..

Anyone tried on a Charles Tyrwhitt? How much are they in Malaysia? I was thinking of procuring some online.

Erm you are at the wrong thread to ask, but you can get 'em at Topman or Zara.

You'll have to buy them on line- the finish isn't that great, BTW

Hmm. I wouldn't mind if only the material and the fit is better than ones I can get locally (eg. Seed, Padini, Raoul, Zara).

On sale, they cost roughly the same as those. On sale, they go for about 25-30 quid.

Trywhitt is not very good. And very billowy.

I recommend T.M. Lewin, which also has online sales. Some lines are very slim and come with non-fused collars.

I've browsed through a couple, and yes, most of their shirts indicate that they come with non-fused collars and darted backs.

Do you suppose they are all 2 ply cotton, or I'll have to look for ones that specifically state that?

Also, what do you think of Thomas Pink shirts? They look good as well.

and since its in uk, i gather the prices stated are vat inclusive?

Yes, it seems the prices are inclusive of VAT. Shipping costs 15 pounds though.

Thomas Pink - an overpriced piece of rag.

yeah true..15 pounds shipping for shipment worth 150 pounds and below. at 20 to 25 pounds a shirt, you could get 6 shirts, which will make shipping for each shirt less than 3 pounds. on shirt for 28 pounds including vat. quite a good deal. iirc, even padini's cheapest shirts are about 120rm..

Oookay...

What are the issues with them pieces of rags? I am curious!

Hilditch & Key's the one for me- I have some shirts which are coming to 10 years which have aged very well

Based on the recent article that I have read, Banana Republic has its unique office attires for men. I am not sure, though, if the prices of their products would suit your budget.

Hi there. I'm about to start work on Monday but the problem is, I do not know where (and how) to buy office wear for a skinny guy like me. I'm 170cm tall, weigh 45kg and my waist is 26inches. Can you guys recommend any outlets that sell dress shirts and pants at a reasonable price? Thank you very much.

bro it still on time just try out tailor custom made it will look nice and suit u more as u r skinny. kind advise if got such budget.

Thanks for the suggestion. But what if custom made are out of the question? I do not know any good tailors around KL....

Tocco Toscano shirts have the best fit for off the rack. price wise is quite OK I guess, raging from RM199 to RM299. Sometimes, can get one shirt at RM89 if you're lucky.

If you're planning to go for custom made, Tux and Blazer offers a French Cuff oxford for RM220, while Custom Made by Andy at the Weld, is offering Egyptian cotton shirt for RM300 and washable wool pants for Rm350.

I thought it was just a bags for girls only(tocco toscano)

In Malaysia, the only place I know that sells Tocco Toscano Shirts is Tangs Pavilion. You walk in the lower floor entrance and go to the right wing. from there you'll see one corner with lots of shirts that looks very exclusive. Thats Tocco Toscano.

believe me, the shirts are awesome!

the price a little bit break my wallet..lol bro did u have some picture that kind a brand

ohhh..featherweight..eat more

Added on March 18, 2011, 1:48 amim having problem to find dress shirts that fit a smaller frame too..any suggestions?

The Executive, go for their "muscle" line..

Raoul 1U

The first to correctly diagnose the problem with this shirt wins a wet slurpy bj.

I'd wear this if it isn't for the ghey stripes under the collar.

Too bad you didn't win. I wanted you to win so bad.

Next.

the sleeve should be tapered..looks like a boria member..i know ..i know....still not a rite answer..so ...NEXT

Yeah, sorry...NEXT!

Urgh Tm lewin have sales but even their most fitted shirts are a 14.5 collar is a 39" chest.

im 36.5=(

sleeve not "fit" enough

There is a diagonal 'ripple' from front left shoulder through to the neck?

You people are getting nuts. It's a damn mannequin.

I cannot believe none of you got the right answer yet. Remember, a wet slurpy bj by none other than AL awaits the winner!

The problem with the shirt is that the run of the stripes is not regular.

The white stripe is much narrower than it should be.

With BE Red the width of the visible stripes is homogenous even when there is discontinuity in the cloth.

That shirt catches attentions.

Raoul has some really nice cuts.

haha
didnt even noticed that
guess i missed the bj chances
damn..

I don't know how highly you guys rate Brook Brothers,
but I'm going out on a limb to say that they're very good, esp the non-iron range, if you hate ironing.

I like the button at the collars, which is rarely made now by other brands.

Protip: Try it on your local brooks brothers store, and order it online from Brookbrothers.com, when its on sale.

bb is average rtw without looking at the tag

looking at the price tag it is ridiculous

Hahah, maybe I've not seen enough brands, BB is good enough for me (if you get
it on sale direct from the US).

Their price is ridiculously marked up in Singapore (and probably Malaysia)

i've had it with TM Lewins because they're a b**** to iron.

Any ways to determine the authenticity of Brooks Brother shirts?
Tried those slim fit & non-iron ones, seems quite fitting.
However, even after discount it cost about 400 plus each.

Does anyone know the difference between slim fit and smart fit shirts? I saw them in Pavillion's G2000.

slim fit sure will be slightly slimmer den smart fit (coz smart fit will probably stay classic while up to date ?? )

padini, giordano, g 2000

What type of fitting is it for shirts that are larger on the shoulder area/broad chest but narrows down to the waist ?

Apart from going to a tailor where can I expect to find this sort of fitting in Malaysia, ready-made.

This post has been edited by RedShirt: Jul 18 2011, 03:28 PM

plain n simple with out too much of graphics. thats the best tees for men

Very hard to find. Your closest bet are stores that sell "korean-inspired" shirts. They normally have bigger drop (width gradient from armpit to waist). However, most are unsuitable for work be it design-wise or quality-wise. You can try The Shirts Studio.

Altering shirts from regular stores like G2k or Bonia is still the better way.

anyone know where can get this type of shirt? what brand?

hey fusioneX, what are your views on dress shirts.
should i go to a tailor to get a fitted one or simply just purchase one?
and oh yea, cant seem to find a decent tailor here. any recommendations?

i was looking for this shirt..



is there any shop in malaysia selling this?

#jackass

I have never altered anything before apart from altering the length of slacks.

I will probably get one of my shirts and have it altered to see the effect.

for shirts, i got seed, topman, and G2000, but i dont really like the collar bcs it too big for me since i wearing S size ( seem like the collar for XL and S are in same size =='')

for pants i will go for topman only bcs other the cutting i dont like, is not slim enough.

one thing, i had no idea on how to wear skinny slack pants nicely, any idea?

if u go casual, then slim fit will look nice. as for regular fit, it will make u look more profesional.

Added on July 20, 2011, 5:12 pmi also looking for the same shirt. but dunno where to get.

This post has been edited by jayro_88: Jul 20 2011, 05:12 PM

All my shirt are from G2000 because the 14 1/2 size fits me. I can't seem to find shirts that fits me in other shops. Any suggestions?

Naked&Famous, Band of Outsiders, Spurr

Thanks but I'm talking about formal shirts

'korean inspired shirts' - shirts that are broader at the shoulder and narrow down at the waist...

im also looking for these kind of shirt.. any specific brands for these kind of shirts? they are not called as slim fit aren't they?

They do have dress shirts.

N&F, as long as your workplace doesn't frown on BDs:




Plenty of stuff from Spurr too, but I'm too lazy to look for specific pictures

Oh, there's also Wolf v Goat

Thanks! The stores that you mentioned are all from Canada. Any retail outlets in Malaysia?

Any good tailors to recommend for fitting a nicely fitted dress shirt?

got 14 1/2 meh
i thought 15 is smallest

I preferred PADINI's shirt as they are the most reasonable price.

Can anyone recommend me something like PADINI? The fitting, the quality, the price and cutting.

So far, I got most of PADINI's RM128 for 2 shirt. I preferred plain color.

This post has been edited by irmond: Aug 14 2011, 02:44 AM

PADINI and SEED actually is not worth the buy. Poor quality and the cutting is just not slim fit
