oh cool, i still have lots to learn ): btw now that i've think of it i didn't save RM1600 but lost RM400 LOL!

well i started off purchasing ready to wear sport jackets for RM400, then gradually my interest for better fitting clothes grew and i started off altering my clothes, and of course custom made is considered the best fit for any person and recently i was fortunate enough to be able to purchase my first custom made suit.. btw post up a picture of your suit if you have the time =)

heh, looks like i'll have to ask again due to LYN server crash.

was just wondering, will bomber jacket go well wit shirt/collar T?

if not, what would?

Here it is reposted with extra pictures





5 buttons at the middle, 3 buttons on the end of sleeve each side, size of the suit collar is half the size of a normal collar looking very japanese and modern ,very comfortable, mid light weight, real cost RM399.99 at SUBZero. 2nd picture has white spots on the mirror , ignore the white spots

yupp t-shirt wld be a cool look..

aww server crashed, as i was mentioning earlier, i visited Granoff in Gardens yesterday and they were glad to just sit down and chat with me, i talked to Mr Mansor, the creative director for the brand in Malaysia for like an hour and the people there are very very friendly, would highly encourage you guys to just go in and have a talk with them even if you're not planning to purchase anything, it would benefit your knowledge..

btw as i mentioned earlier, they refer bespoke as made-to-measure.. ithe reason why could possibly be an italian thing, the word "su misura" refers to the custom made process, but the word translates as made-to-measure..

actually i was wondering if bomber jack would look good on shirt/collar T and if not, what kinda jacket would look good on shirt/collar T.. hehe

but thx for the article anyway!

yupp why not, you could dress up and pair your dress shirts with a tie or you could also dress it down with a t-shirt/polo-t like in the picture =)

Meetings, Dinners, Weddings, Annual Events, Work, Anywhere where they are going to be kept cool

tbh, both ur dress shirt and that blazer should be smaller. looks very roomy to me. look at the sleeve of the shirt.. even when u cuffed them its still long.

lol because i lost quite some weight during the spm result waiting, and i'm still waiting for the result, 2 more weeks of intensive excercise for me but the suit, is mid size, theres a smaller 1 at the same price

aight thx, looking to purchase one soon.

Server crashed, everything missing. Here is the Granoff brand told by Jin reviewed in The Star again.

BlueKM, saw that type of jacket 3 years ago. It was started by a suit shop Damanchi (I think) in Mid Valley. I forgot the name, they have a lot of non traditional designs like the snap bar buttons. I remember when they put up the suit on the manequin that day, a lot of people was checking it out. Its "almost" revolutionary. SUB seems to use this design since last year. I saw the jacket being worn by some celebs before and some photo shoots by some local lifestyle magazine.


The one you have seems to evolved. I noticed there is no lapels. And i think there is a cut away mandarin style collar at the back. Can reference this design to some Sci Fi movies like Star Trek or Battlestar Galactica. Well better late than never!

thanks for the link again netmatrix..

BlueKM - the jacket is a little too funky for my taste, maybe next time go for like a suit jacket with lapels and with 3 or 2 buttons.. guys is that even considered a suit jacket btw?

so is granoff better compared to lords tailors?
bleh i havent decided what suit to buy yet

i cant exactly judge quality of suit for now because ive not had a suit from Granoff.. however what i can tell you, in terms of customer service and interaction with customers, granoff would definitely win on that.. for what purpose are you planning to purchase a suit ?

business and presentations ofcourse

uh i currently have a suit(custom made too) but its not matching with my pants because the pants was torn and it was pretty huge and i was young and didnt bother to patch it back

ill take a pic when i do wear the suit n you guys be the judge

Looks like a revolutionized nehru suit jacket - slightly cropped and without the mandarin collar.

Its a modern take. I like sci-fi movies a lot and you can see the designs from these shows cropping up here and there. The only ultra sharp cut suit i have ever seen is worn by Ben Afleck in PAYCHECK.

The other one is worn by Regis Philbin who is the host of the first America's Got Talent. It is made by Brioni. Its is sharp and the shell looks very hard and metallic. I like it. Its kind of hard to come by the suit pictures he wears on the show. Here is one, but its black!

But in the end we have to admit that these modern non traditional designs will be mainstream down the road.
