Nice buttons. Do you plan to get ermazine for the lining or is "normal" lining sufficient?

Man, both of you are in a relationship?

Who, me?

Wow, that would be my next question here. Normally, how long is required for the jacket lining, and I read that the ermazine lining provides good ventilation.

3 meters as well. I bought mine here:

Added on March 2, 2010, 9:32 pmI bought 4m because I wanted a waistcoat as well. You should get a navy 3-piece, i.e. with waistcoat.

Grey suit, grey lining. Blue suit, blue lining. Or you can do it like Calvin: Blue suit, pink lining.

pink lining....ouch....might be popular at the street of New York.....just kidding

This hue of pink doesn't look too bad

im negotiating with a wholesaler to let me try a small quantity of wool gabardine for cheap----

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabardine

i think this is machine washable wool that ive been looking for

There's no such thing as machine washable wool. The reason has to do with the scales in the wool fibre which make wool the only fibre around to display the felting effect. There is a way of coating the fibre to make it anti-felting, but I know of no quality suiting fabric so treated.

Hie guys, i have a few question to ask. Im planning to MTM 1 set of suit for my "big day"
Till now i still dont have an idea what i should make.
I cant backtrack total 107 pages but i did glance through a few pages back.

Im not a tall guy about 165, was wondering should i make something normal (working attire type?)


(Single-breasted suits: This is the basic style. Most suits are single breasted. Usually there is a choice of two or three buttons for single-breasted suits. The front buttons on the suits are in a single straight row.)

or something like this? Tux? Im afraid the bow tie doesn't suit me~~

(Sorry snap from Men's Mag spotted just now)

I love this design..is this too common for special event?


Black tie Event...i wonder is too plain? it looks like a "Wing Coller"

Some example:

Too plain?

Btw, My theme colour
(Event 1) My Fiance colour- Royal Blue (Black Suit + Royal Blue Vest + Gold Cravat?? Or what combination should i choose?)
(Event 2) My Fiance colour- Red (Black Suit + No idea)
2nd Event is kind of small...dont intend to spend so much on vest (rm400) for different colours ..what should i match/play with it?

My Nuptial Blessing will be either the Black tie event or any suggestion?

Thanks for all the input given. Appreciate all kinds of feedback.
Budget: Mix wool/ Wool not exceed total rm2k for everything (Event 1 & 2)

Currently aiming: 1U Bespoke Ian Chang

if you read the previous 50 pages, you can save yourself rm800.

So I met MBT yesterday. It is going to take 2 months for the jacket to be ready as he received mountains of orders lately. And I've picked a blue lining.

i thought MBT is your retired friend's dad?-----that tailor your clothes exclusively?

2 months? Didn't you bang on the cutting table with your fists to make him give you priority?

I hate these female eBay/internet sellers. Why do they insist on spraying the goods with perfume before delivery? They always do that.
