Stalker alert!! hahaha



I am going to see the movie not because i like mafia/ gangster culture. But will see it because i can say to myself, spot this and that on their clothing. Many of the forummers in Fedora Lounge agree the costuming is almost perfect. Also can its a visual treat to acompany my mafia book on USA criminals that time. hahaha.

Anyway ther is another thing i noticed. Your lining is different color but same pattern. My Italian off the rack also have the same feature. But its on the sleeves and the outside pocket flaps. I wonder if it is a trademark or some sort?

Thats an interesting article. I didn't know that the 3 partners sold Spark Manshop to another company. Its like them doing a Jimmy Choo ya? But they were really the first thing that comes to mind when getting a tailored suit back then.

So Granoff is owned by the 3 partners of RH or the new Spark Manshop company?

I think the more appropriate term would be operating a franchise in Malaysia right?

Maybe the brothers Phua got some interest also inside....best in Singapore, JB and some say KL...

Aiya, dunno la them people on managing/ marketing/ reselling/ rebranding thing. Everything is all for money. In the end, the final product would feel "soul less".

If you have a picture maybe can see. But u know what cardinal sin almost everyone who sells slim suits does? They don't have high armholes. They make it big but when you hold your arms anywhere, the suit jacket bunches up there. Go up the suit it carried up from the sides. And they dare say it is slim fit? BTW this type of tailoring is very old technique.

The only best slim fit suit i have ever seen are some worn by Andy Lau. Usually the armholes are high which highlights the are even slimmer. The fitting is actually like a shirt.

I have that. Its called nehru collar. But its not a complete suit, i have just the coat.

Picking up whats to like and not? Er..... its not something you can encourage. I mean its just clothes right?

Cashmere is a type of wool.

Sweeettt. But things like this seems to be passe nowdays. The new one is those corporate jackets. Look like this but made with poly/cotton/wool.

I think Ting Lik has better suits than Hui Man Keong. But subjective as there are times Chow looks better. The most gaya for Chow would be his times as The God of Gamblers la. Or is it a Better Tomorrow Mark Kor?

Can simplify it like this.

Normal suit u see everyday, black, blue or grey office wear. Those u see in G2000 business wear range.

Tuxedo is usually black or very dark blue (midnight blue). Only wear during the night on very formal occasions. Usually with bowtie. The pants usually has a long stripe on the side and the lapel/ collar is usually satin of some shiny material. This indentifies the tuxedo.

Sportcoat and blazer is usually just the coat matched with something of different color for the pants. Less formal than the business suit. Match with jeans would be casual wear. In fact if u orphan a business suit it automatically becomes a blazer or sportcoat. hahaha.

I could get technical, but not necessary. This rough idea is good enough to get u around many shops.

Coat/blazers starts from RM20-RM5K and suits start from RM190-POA. Tuxedos start from RM1500-POA.

Well this correction makes me chuckle. When i quoted all of 30s' glory. I am considered bias. But when you quote "this time and age of ignorance" it kind of makes me wonder where, when, why and how? So i'm a little lost here. Which year do you reference?

Ahhhh.... approx late 60's onwards.

Since u are in Gardens, Granoff is just nearby.

RM7 on really rare ultra clearance days by hypermarkets.

Yup i have 2 of those, and they don't fit me. I buy for knowledge. Knowledge that i can buy junk. hahaha.

Because he is CEO and you are not!

If he is a model for that suit, it explains it all. The suit wasn't fitted for him.

Altering the shoulders would be an expensive affair. Do ask the tailor first.

I was quoted RM150 for shoulder by some alteration shop before. I think could be more as she just estimate only.
