Hi guys, just wanted to get everyone's 2 cents here.

If a fully tailored shirt at RM158.00 will you consider that something that you'd order? Order time will take roughly 60 days. Material is latest nanotech material which is water repellent, and wrinkle free material. You can google up nanotech cloth and see what it is as well.

As mentioned I'm just here to get some ideas =)

If "fully tailored" means made to measure for you, with a test fitting garment and everything, then no, I wouldn't go for that. That is much less than you should expect to pay for a full tailoring experience. Surely a corner is being cut somewhere. The question of the "tech" fabric is another one altogether. It usually doesn't mean you are getting "more," but that you are getting less. In other words, high-end shirtmakers would typically use high-end cotton fabrics, not nanotech fabrics.

I guess it comes down to what problem you are trying to solve, by going custom as opposed to off-the-rack. This is something I'm figuring out for myself, too. It turns out that for me i'm probably better off just buying off the rack and having the sleeves shortened, rather than trying to concoct the perfect potion.

Actually no, all types of fabric has to go through some form of research to achieve the end product. Even the commonly heard Supima Cotton is a type of fabric which still undergoes constant changes in it's processing phase to achieve the final product. The fabric that I mentioned is a new blend only launch in 2019 and yes it's by well known tailors as well. If you walk into any custom tailor store, they too will show you different blend of fabric which comprise of pure cotton base or a blend.

But thanks for your 2 cents =)
