Put on some sleeker shoes, tie a better tie knot, remove all that junk from the trousers' pockets and you'll be looking sharp.
On a more serious note, the sleeves need reshaping and shortening. Well if somebody doesn't bother buttoning the waist button they might as well not wear a jacket that fits. I'm sure everyone will agree with this one. heh

lol, I'm not here to impress you. Just posting up because jind86 wanted to see a suit from Sire's.

Because I don't want you to feel left out from me doing jind86 a favour, I'll do you one also. Here's a comic depicting you in complete detail:

lol,mofonyx why so defensive, he just give advice/opinion only la.

Well it's fine if you don't take my comments. Clearly this is what people in fashion forums do out there. They exchange opinions and thoughts on fit. Since you already posted this in public I might as well have my say. Just think that you'll look alot better once you get that fixed. You seem to get offended easily. And I shall applaud to your immature effort on depicting me in comic strips.

chill out mofonyx, he's only stating his opinion, anyways i appreciate your time and effort to post up the picture.. will consider going to Binwani's to take a look at their fabric and visit Sire's when i have the time..

since you mentioned you're working out, you should get into your preferred shape and then get some tweaks done on your suit

Only offended because I didn't post for opinions. Moreover, you're looking at a picture. You're quick to judge something that isn't representative of what it looks like in real life.

jind86:

mmm, there is no preferred shape/size.

My body is an ongoing work. So, I don't know, may be difficult for me to achieve a size I can be sure to say that I will not change. Maybe I need a few pairs when I can afford it on my own.

Let us chill and have some martini, gents. Constructive criticism or opinions are fine as long as there is no blatantly silly stereotyping comments like "people who wear cardigans are stupid" or so to quote. But then again, different people have different thoughts and I think gents on this particular thread mean no malice when there offer suggestions. On the other hand, in other forums, suited gents are classified into traditionalists and modernists. Suffice to say, both sides clashes with each other constantly.

mofonyx> 2x120's and up are high cotton yarn count shirting fabrics. Definitely the love.

Digital Zone> Glad you find it useful. Bare with the loading time though since the author loves to slap tons of images on the first page.

i happen to stumble upon this photo from The Sartorialist, this guy sports a "modern" looking jacket, probably something similar with BlueKM's in terms of the collar.. and i think it looks awesome..

no homo, male camel toe.

Jesus sweet sartorial god.. That is just awesome in my book. And being able to pop the collar like that, there's no padding underneath it.

i like the pocket as well, something different, looks like one of those in army jackets..

That picture of the jacket is somewhat a modern and classic take. There is a external felt support on the collar area. I d/l and corrected the gamma and you can see it. The patch pockets are adorned with sewing details. This is the only part that is very interesting. So interesting that a designer can actually come up with various designs based on this standard one alone!

The jacket is held down with a giant safety pin. This was a big as womens accessories few years back. You still could get some from womens acc dept.

Really? I'll do the same later since I want to see the styling details.

Anyway, I would not dare to poke a pin through my suit which is somewhat akin to piercing my own skin although I do like what the gent in the picture did (a big safety pin between the two buttonholes).

Hi, anyone know where to buy shirt with convertible cuff?

convertible cuff?

Hi any1 know where i could alter my formal / french cuffs shirts around klang valley or Kuala Lumpur with a reputable tailor at reputable price?

I just did my alteration at hugo boss and it cost me a bomb because i wanted express because i need it urgently now i would like to alter my other shirts at affordable price

Thank you everyone!

It looks like normal button cuff shirt but you can use either cuff link or button.

here are two of mine I wore a while back. both are tailored.





i have just gotten two new tailored suits from edmunser, will post up when i take pictures at work.

p.s. sorry, i'm fat.

never heard of that, what ive heard though are french cuffs which use buttons as their cuff links giving them appearance of a regular buttoned cuff..

Added on March 11, 2009, 9:15 pmhi DinKnight, thanks for sharing the pictures..

firstly i'd probably recommend that you do not button the top, however keep the middle buttoned at all times when not sitting, this will give you a longer torso and balance the look of your whole body..

secondly, you may also want to shorten the length of your pants a little bit, too much break there..

here are additional tips for a large man:
