as i've mentioned above, stay away from L unless you're taller than 6"2..

even if someone's only 5"5 and he likes how a R looks on him, by all means go ahead..

but there's a general reason why its called short, regular and long..

cool =)

really wanna try Bespoked one day, do you go through Jerick as well?

yeah ive met the Ian guy, seems really snobbish.. o well RM3k is really out of my budget.. whats wrong with their starting price suits? i think they have pure wool material which starts at RM2k right?

now u know how i feel when i send like 5 shirts at once lol.. the best thing i like about them is that i can always get it altered again if im not happy with the result and they dont give the customers a frustrated face.. there are some places which will not "re-alter" them and give excuses like "thats what you ask for what"..

yes

picture of your blazer pls..

this is it? looks navy here but the "teaser shots" look grey..

i think the silhouette looks great from the given picture.. really nice curve at the waist too.. so this one's half canvassed?

thats really good price.. you got your material from Chan? btw the attendant was ah loke himself?

yupp the suit jacket can match a darker skinny jeans or white will look good too, just make sure that the jacket is well fitted too because otherwise you will look bulky on top and thin at the bottom.. you can also opt to wear chinos.. avoid grey pants (unless its the same suit piece with the jacket), you'll look like you're trying to wear a suit when you're not.. go for a totally different shade instead..

what material is it and how much? does ah beng converse in english? my cantonese isn't good..

ok.. do you know the weight per meter? so basically ah loke charged RM600 for their services right? isn't that a very good price for half-canvassed? i mean many tailors charge about that price for a fused..

i think im going to ah loke for my next suit =D

btw if you don't mind, what's your weight? so three meters of fabric was enough i assume?

thats the response you're going to get from alot of ppl.. but it boilds down to whether you think it suits you or not, and whether it will be acceptable in your circle of friends.. i remember one of my friends showed up in university with a skinny jean one day and all my other friends laughed the hell out of him and called him "rempit", he went home right away to change and came back later for class..

describe hows the "blazer" you wanna get..

im guessing you're talking bout something like this:



a suit jacket would be a better term, topman's materials are pretty alright for both formal and casual (although many may consider their cutting/design a little too trendy).. most of the new stuff are wool and polyester mix..

check out people's for more casual choices, they have a number of low price cotton jackets..

yupp, like for me on normal classes i choose to wear polo-t, khakis/jeans, if i know the particular room is very cold, i may choose to wear a cardigan/cotton jacket.. for a special event, birthday party in friends house or even to church, i put on my suit jacket..

they have ones which are pure wool as well, but those prices are like RM800 for the jacket alone.. the mix wool ones around around RM500-RM600..

yes people's is a brand, malaysian one.. somewhere above topman in mid valley..

apparently he's been busy lately but secretly lurking around..

i get mine from topman.. they have good designs =)

i have one from people's as well.. polyester material, got it at a super low price of only RM30..

obviously in general, a tailor made suit is suppose to be better than one which is purchased off-the-rack as it is specific to your body and details.. you can get the fabric from Jalan TAR, lots of fabric stores there.. otherwise you can check out online as well, kotmj posted a link above..

i think you should start off by reading some info on the first post, and go around window shopping to take a look at some suits.. looks like you're rushing into getting a custom suit with no idea about a single thing..
