mine's fused..

i'll get back to you on the lapel padding and hand sewn buttonholes..

anyone know where I can get a long coat?

Eh?? I always thought yours is at least half canvassed for the premium price.

I've put together the spec for my Silvercross kid mohair suit:

Configuration
Two button
Side vent
High notch
Form fitting
Pronounced waist suppression
Pronounced skirt flare
No pleats on pants, slanted pockets, no back pockets, no seam on pockets, reinforced on back hem
Sloping shoulders
Hacking pockets
Tone-on-tone lining

Difference over previous suit
Lower buttoning stance than previous
More arm mobility
Wider lapels than previous
Roomier at the elbow
Larger sleevehead in an even smaller armhole
Open quarters
Real working cuffs
Finer and silkier thread for buttonholes
Have the selvedge visible somewhere

i dont see any "dimples" on the lapel.. will take a picture soon.. are padded lapels considered "better"?

well if i would say, the stitching of the buttonhole doesn't look neat.. will get a picture of that too for you guys to see..

btw where u getting your next suit from?
well i think the price is pretty normal right? like they charge RM1000 for their service, for instance ah loke charged RM650 right? but that was without buttons, lining, etc? mine was included.. i guess brands like lord's and bespoked are a little more well known so they charge a higher price..

I am still looking for my next tailor. I would be very happy to use Ah Loke again, but am exploring the possibility of using someone else who can give me old-world quality. I have yet to find that someone, but will search for him this weekend.

granoff..

so where do i find this "dimple"? inside the suit jacket where the lining is or just the back of the lapel?

Jind86, I use language with great precision. Please read my description again.

Hi, didnt wanna open a new thread to ask this so I'll just ask it here..

Any idea where got sell Casual buttoned shirt but with sleeve until the elbow?

Normal casual formal clothes sold are either short sleeve or long sleeve, I'm finding one that have sleeve a couple inches longer than the short sleeve.

Please don't suggest me to buy bigger size of the short sleeve..

Buy a long sleeve shirt and have the sleeve cut and hemmed where you want it.

Sigh.

Thanks but I'm not good at sewing, how much is it approx to ask people do it?

rule of thumb is 200X the price of the shirt. labour is expensive.

So there isn't any shop around that have this kind of Shirt?

This is not the place for women's apparel.

I'm talking about men clothing

Walk in to Sub. They might have plenty of those. But real men must never wear them. Never.

Calvin do you happen to know how much more fabric for a DB compared to SB?

I'm not so sure about this. As a rule of thumb 2.5 meters is fine for any jacket. IMO, the overlapping flap wouldn't consume much of a fabric. Or just get the whole nine yards.

I too had orgasms on navy double breasted blazers with white MOP buttons as of recent.

May I know why?

I am fascinated by this look.
