Here's an idea - move to the Highlands. You can even rock a scarf if you want to.

I used to go up to Genting H. twice a week for gymming. It isn't what it used to be. Never needed more than just a T-shirt.

At least you wouldn't feel hot and stuffy in a sportcoat. Temperatures hardly go beyond 30c. I think.
BTW, where's FusionEx? I hope he's alright.

I have a very nice cardigan. It has a few holes in it now though. It's pure new wool, and the zipper has real leather tabs. I wore out its identical predecessor.

Brooks Brothers have very little waist suppression and is generously cut. Meant more to hide than to accentuate.

Getting Started

|
at Jalan TAR, for expensive & high quality fabric, u can try jakel or gulati's silk store.
kamdar and nagoya have thier suiting fabric section too. both have 2 shops along the road. and they do have imported good quality pure wools. cheaper blended ones also available.
