Do you still tailor make clothes?

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.

QUOTE(Blofeld @ Dec 31 2022, 09:23 AM) 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.

QUOTE(Starbucki @ Dec 31 2022, 10:13 AM) 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.
