omg jind.. the cutting in the picture is perfect.. i need to trim my body abit more so i can look good in suit

i think its pretty decent.. shoulders look great.. may be a little extra room at the chest.. length should be fine i suppose since you look like you're able to cuff the end of your jacket..

i see a little shirt cuff showing on your left sleeve so i guess the length should be fine..

is the jacket buttoned in the picture? something looks off there..

hey im not the one coming up with new bespoke suits every month

you scouting for a new sugar daddy?

thanks, im glad you like it.. but yeah im still striving to find a better fit

hurm i tink it would be nice if smaller at waist area. look more neat.. imo..
what about u guys?

+ shoulders are perfect
+ lapels seem fine. I like mine half an inch slimmer though (don't shoot me, traditionalists!)

- sleeves to be shortened by around 1.5" depending on your shirt's cuffs
- button stance to be lowered
- more waist suppression
- jacket length shortened, but I can't really tell unless you post a full-body shot since we need to take into account balanced proportions
- more open quarters
- sleeves to be tailored slimmer
- it isn't clear from the top half picture but your pants look a little baggy, possibly

I might have missed out on some minor details since I'm really sleepy right now.

Anyway, if possible, please do post the picture of your whole body for more accurate feedbacks from us.

...or are you going to sponsor my sartorial cravings, handsome?

You'll need to be a very willing bottom though.

hurm i need to ask.. as for vent.
we knw ventless is more italian style and double vent is from british
as for lapel.. slim and diff type originates from diff country?

thanks u ppl~ yup, the pants is abit big as i don't have much bum. gonna send that for alteration too. huhu~

Dear expert, can I know why my pant as shown in pic, cannot fit straightly, and every time I walk, the lowest part will like stick together and flutter left and right. Sorry, dunno how to put it in a better word.


Attached thumbnail(s)

^^I think the pants are too long. Shorten by 0.75 inches. The alterations tailor will resist doing so, or try to talk you into shortening it by 0.5 or less, but don't give in.

My initial opinion was the pants are too short le. Maybe will bring it to a tailor, but currently working in Singapore, better bring back to Malaysia and ask, cheaper hehe. Thanks anyway.

I was in a Hugo Boss boutique the other day, and it was a revelation. They have the most exquisite cloths: I handled (for the first time in my life) a suit of pure cashmere (oooh!), Super 150s (aaaah!) and fondled a precious shirt of solidly woven high threadcount cloth with beautifully glimmering real mother of pearl. I was deeply impressed by it all. The Super 150s suit didn't even feel like wool. It was like something God had woven then dropped off at a Hugo Boss factory.

Too bad one of the suits cost RM3995 and the shirt RM1095.

The lapels of one of the suits was machine padded, while the other two I fingered were not padded at all. But despite that, they have a lovely roll due to the horsehair canvas and good ironing.

I was thinking: What a waste of precious materials for RTW. These things should not be RTW, they should at least be MTM. Also, what a waste they are half-canvassed. Such exquisite cloths shouldn't be fused to something else.

okay..
lets take out the rm700 budget..
where can I get a cheaper wool suit done around Malaysia?

The standard recommendation for a first suit is one in navy colour. If you will be using it in Malaysia, I recommend a mohair mix. I have a mohair suit, and it is very cool to wear. I have just received a navy mohair mix length of cloth today, and I know it will be cool to wear as well.

The cheapest tailor I would personally use is Ah Loke Tailor in KL (do a search on this forum). I know he has some navy mohair in stock; he showed it to me once. Not the best quality, but I suppose it will do.

I do not know how much he will charge you, but he is not expensive.

A nice brown packet was waiting for me at the reception. I was taken aback by how light it was. Nearly 4 meters of English cloth, but it weights nothing. It came all the way from Leeds.



It is in navy, a colour named after the British navy, once a force to be reckoned with and which made this its official colour. It is a very masculine colour.



I now see the light. I now understand why people keep going on about fresco. Because this is mohair fresco, possibly the coolest cloth money can buy.

See for yourself.



It's like going around naked.

Yawn.

Went to MBT today. Too bad he is not accepting any jobs at the moment. I shall find him again after the new year.

You want to be a fokking tailor?!!

Added on January 11, 2010, 9:35 pmOh you mean he is not accepting any commissions! I thought you want to apprentice with him.

Added on January 11, 2010, 9:37 pmIs MBT any good with suit jackets?

MBT gave me half canvass construction for jackets with hand-made buttonholes. Well, he quoted me quite a high price this time. I was given a soporific economics lecture today after he declined my commission. "Don't be impatient, young man!" he said to me before I left. That navy wool is back to serve me as my blanket.

Make sure you don't stain it. Would make a bad impression.
