QUOTE Added on February 10, 2009, 8:52 pm@netmatrix: It is such a waste that M&S decided to take their velvet blazers off the rack but we cannot blame them since it is hard to find a proper market for velvet blazers. Malaysians would think twice about rocking a velvet jacket out in the evening while most Britons still find it perfectly acceptable to be worn during the day. Upon examining those local event launch parties pictures in magazines, only very few guests wears them. Well i just wanted one for no reason. hahaha. Anyway i know velvet is hard to keep. You can't just stash it with other clothes. Its high maintenance stuff. It does not crease, but it will leave pressed marks. I think thats what makes it special. The M&S one is heavy and definitely autumm/fall stuff and the color was black as the darkest coal. The bright red lining is of heavy weave. Darn.....

QUOTE(yetieater @ Feb 11 2009, 05:37 AM) I'm talking measurements because you seem to have some experience with tailored clothing. Both suits are 38S with waist size 32" pants, a 6" drop. any experienced person will tell you that you can not judge a suit by just looking at it, it has to be worn.. there's no point flashing your brand or stating your suit specification, no one is able to tell from that..Flizzardo, both suits cost $800 USD pre sales tax |

Young adults, probably yes... since you have one right here. *raise hand*I have a G2000 blazer...Wanna wear it to KL...But once think of the weather din wear it... Although I'd only wear them in air-conditioned places like a shopping complex and would take them off if I were to go out on the sunny streets. |

QUOTE lol i typed wrongly.forgot to put distinguish/differentiate.owh can you like give me the link to show the cutting between those two jackets or something?if you dont have it dont bother Look here for a little insight. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suit_(clothing) But if you ask me, it varies from designer to designer. Have you seen Edmunser's suits before? They are located in KLCC. Edmunser is good at making womens professional suits. The reason why i talk about this shop is because Edmunser seems to be the strange cohesion of womens and mens suit. Their mens suit looks like a womens suit simply because of the fabric. They don't use a lot of hard self standing fabrics. most of them are soft, which works in womens suits. Besides the obvious trimming of the waist, womens suits usually have only 1 button closure and different fancy buttons style. They may not necessarily be short. The lower coat usually is flared to accomodate bigger hips or sexier curves! The panneling for the coats are different. Usually a single panel on the back as to a 2 piece for mens. The back collar lapels are usually not stiffened with felt like material. The coat themselves are not basted so they are flexible in the chest area. I should know, as i have took apart a few womens suit owned by my relatives compared to a 1970's suit jacket that was heading to the trash can last time. |

QUOTE(FusioneX� @ Feb 18 2009, 05:09 PM) The back of the coat doesn't have a seam running through it the middle. Two panels is two sections of fabric pattern joined together at the back. Victorian coats that I own normally has four panels, staying true to antique tailoring which really tests the skills of a tailor. if you are able, take a picture of the coat with four panels and post up some pix here.. would appreciate it =) |

Although skinny fit is a no-go.But why Billie Joe Armstrong in the picture? Is he well dressed? This post has been edited by Fusion[eX]: Feb 18 2009, 06:42 PM |
