Something I don't understand. What's with all those robotic poses? I have never seen a good pose nor a pose which shows the fit of the suit nicely. hmm.

unfortunately neither me nor my brother is a model.. so i dont exactly know what kind of pose you consider "good"..

Just stand straight with your arms and legs at your sides! Not by slouching or sticking a leg out.

so apparently standing straight like a stick doesnt look like a robot but slight gestures does?

arms at your side like this eh? i seee..

Note that this is meant to be a yfyf tribute. Check out FusionEX's pics for a better reference.  hmm.gif

Fusion[eX] did slight gestures too..

of course he did it looking much better compared to my brother but that's the way my brother stands and poses, i cant expect him to stand and pose the way that he's not used to..

I think the main intention of the picture Jin posted earlier was only to show his brother's pants and did a slight gesture there to highlight the alterations done. Due to the low angle close-up shot when the picture was taken, the gesture might have been magnified slightly too much.

After taking quite a number of pictures of fits, I find that it's best to have the camera's elevation to be somewhere between chest level to eye level with the camera placed not too close to the subject. Normally I take around 10 or more pictures for one fit and only a few came out nice where I then select the best one for final adjustments or editing before posting it up. Although, I must say, the lighting of my room and the flash of my digital point-and-shoot camera are really bad.

Anyway, your brother's pants looks so much better now after the alteration, Jin

yeah the pants is slimmer now and there's a noticeable difference..

btw anyone know where to get buttons (especially MOP and horn) around kl? i remember Mr. Mansor mentioning it to me but kinda slipped away in my mind..


Added on September 13, 2009, 11:32 pmi think he told me around pasar seni area..

Added on September 14, 2009, 9:04 amI emailed Gritti in Italy a few days ago asking about a distributor of their buttons in Malaysia. They said there is none (now there's a business opportunity). They referred me to Hwa Seng in Singapore.

Do Topman brings them? Cause I'm still looking for cheaper options haha! Thanks for the Gap info by the way.

And worse part is, I don't know how the chino fabric should be like, especially those rolled chino.
*
i've not seen chinos in topman.. well basically chinos are made out of cotton, but of course there are also different types.. there are some which are more rugged looking, easily creased, and there are also ones which are stiffer, more professional looking.. i prefer the more stiffer ones.. dockers carry both types if im not mistaken.. the gap slim fit is the stiffer one, check that out if you wanna know how it is..

Other alternatives include Padini, SEED (last season's chino was made of extremely thin cotton and the colour of your flesh will show through), Philosophy Men, Zara (seasonal), POA, People's, Club Monaco, Topman (very rare and sometimes seen during summer) since they usually offer polyester pants.

I've been to Dockers (Isetan The Gardens) today and they seem to be having sales but I forgot how much their chino costs after discount.
*
talking bout Club Monaco, they currently have this really nice tailored pants, the pattern is similar to lanatir's jacket below.. RM320..

Hi guys, where can i find a Brown Striped Slim Suit?
Any brand can do.

hmmm brown? hmmm.. you've got to look around man.. brown's pretty seasonal especially in malaysia because clothing brands tend to bring in more general colors for suits here like navy, black and grey.. otherwise a tailor is your friend =)

QUOTE(kotmj @ Sep 23 2009, 12:19 PM)
Also, between the post above and now, the horn buttons from Hwa Seng arrived. They are sublime. Worth every Singapore dollar. I'll never use a plastic button on a suit again.
*
nice, and their pretty affordable too right? how long did they take to arrive?

wanna ask 1 question.for ready made suit, whats the difference between hmm let say 36S/36L/36R?

thats the length of the jacket, S is Short, R is Regular, and L is Long.. they are the same size but the length is different.. if you're about 5"8 and below, go for a S, and below 6"2, go for R..
