I used to tailor make my clothes in my teens till the last time in 1995. The cost of tailor making clothes vs buying premium in metrojaya/parkson is about the same.

But nowadays I just buy off the shelves in departmental stores albeit not exactly fitting.

If you can find a good tailor, definitely the way to go.

I tailor made a coat for graduation in 1993.

I bought my latest suit for a wedding in 2019 from isetan after trying few in Uniqlo, marks & spencer and isetan. The jacket is fitting but the pants is a bit loose at the butts and upper thighs.

Most tailors now are from that era still. They dont change with the times and balk at kpop fashion.

Most of these tailors have either transformed into doing clothes boutique or quit

In the 80s Sg Wang plaza had many of these

Can they make slim cut shirts? Most boomer tailors prefer to make baggy shirts

I am one who likes my clothes a lil baggy although I am thin. I come from a time and place where violence and fighting on the streets were norm and I also have to defend myself with blocks, punches and kicks. Therefore I never wear tight clothes that restrict my movements.

So when I bought some shirts, the lady told me a story about a fat guy in his early 30s who insisted to buy tight shirts and pants although they don't look good on him.

Yes, tailor can make any size to customers' requests.
