there is padding on the jacket's chest? hmmm..

lol.. anyway this is just temporary.. should be disabled soon..

yeah, i guess i never looked at it that way as it being extra padding on the chest..

yeah temporary.. cos with the post count enabled, its going to attract ppl which has no interest in this section but simply come here and spam to increase their post count.. so until we have a better system, i think its best we keep this section for those who are genuinely interested to share here..

i'll let the admins decide whether to enable or disable.. so we'll see how it goes..

yes indeed its the Autymn 2009 collection.. need new suits, but times are bad lol..

just checked them out, indeed they are lots of vibrant colors and bold patterns, not really my taste, i prefer subtle details.. nice to look, hard to wear..

because he spent RM500k on his new Merc and RM500 on his suit =D

try here:

hmmm.. can't really tell much but from what i can see, single breasted one button (tan colored button) black suit with peak lapel, double vented details.. four buttons on cuff..

well you could try.. however the button stance looks really low judging from a very short scene when they were buttoned..

and if you really want to copy the details here then you would have to replace the buttons as the buttons here were tan colored..

yeah this looks like the one in the MV, thats really low button stance o.O"

carrefour has cheapo suits too.. =D

yes i have met this tailor, and yes i remember him telling me it was RM800 in labour for a suit, however there was a slightly bad side, for that price you're only entitled to one fitting, additional fittings will be charged RM50 each.. on top of that, surgeon's cuffs will also be charged RM100.. which means every little additional detail you may have, be prepared to fork out additional cost..

you can try binwani's at the curve as kotmj just mentioned.. or there's Bespoked, Granoff, and Lord's Tailor - these are all rather big names in KL, so be prepared to pay about RM1500 and up.. i've yet to see any great suits from "unknown" tailors (or at least no one is willing to share) so i cant recommend them..

you mean he had a bad experience with them..

the best option for you on your 3-button suit from Spark Manshop is to bring it back to them to have a look at it on whether alterations are possible, by right i dont think they would charge you since you got it made there..

otherwise, if you'd like a new suit, then you should consider a 2-button suit, its pretty much the standard today..



Lord's is in Bangsar Shopping Comples,
Bespoked is in One Utama,
Granoff is in Gardens Mid Valley..

hmmm if you stretch your budget to about RM1500 then it would be possible.. otherwise you could try out other more affordable places and get them around RM800 =)

btw what kind of material would this be? i've seen some suits similar to this which look like wool but their a little shiny..

ok, firstly, concentrate on getting your three-piece suit first (the jacket, pant and vest), worry about your shirt later.. Granoff's shirts start at a price range of RM700 and above so its better you separate the purchase of the shirt from your suit..

i noticed you wrote white vest, your safest bet is to stick with the same material and color as your jacket and pants.. its going to be awful with a white vest and black suit..

there is a lady there which is pretty unfriendly so that was probably her, anyhow she was definitely right about the fact that brands like Hugo Boss and Calvin Klein offer ready-to-wear suits as opposed to a tailor-made store like Granoff, tailor-made is by no way suppose to be cheaper than ready-to-wear, they spend meticulous time creating a suit just for you rather than for a general market, which is why you pay a premium price for your custom made suit..

however the price does not necessarily need to reach RM6k, they can also start around RM800 (which is much more compared to a RM300 ready-made suit which you can get from stores like Kamdar/Brand's Outlet).. prices that range are mostly from tailors which are not too known.. more popular brands including Granoff start at RM1500 and up.. did you check with them about the fabrics available and the prices? im pretty sure you didnt..

before getting your suit, i think its best you know what are the details you want in your suit first: what fabric? pure wool, mix wool, polyester, etc? what kind of cutting you want? slim cut, classic cut? it looks to me like you've not even considered such basic questions..

didnt you mention your budget was RM2k for the suit? and now you're planning to buy just the material worth RM2.5k? apparently you're already looking at brands like Zegna which is going to cost a bomb.. why dont you find cheaper alternatives which run about RM800 for pure wool?

hey lanatir, what is the starting price at Bespoked for their two piece suit?

im thinking of looking for more affordable tailors as well.. but apparently there are no recommendations here for any..

you could go visit The State tailor at PJ State, my friend has done his suit there before, looked rather good and price is affordable..

never fancied spark manshop.. customer service had been bad in my experience.. bespoked should be better than spark manshop although ive not had a suit from them, they have had good reviews from lanatir..

pretty much depends on material.. bespoked suit should starts around RM1500.. and spark manshop starts at RM1000.. these prices are including their starting price material (may differ among both of them) and workmanship..

woo thats good price.. RM600 excluding cloth and lining right? what about their buttons? will they be using horn buttons?

what kind of cut did you go for? do they specialize in doing slim cutting suits as well?

am definitely looking forward to seeing pictures of the suit =)
