You are not missing anything. It is just them missing a piece of sartorial culture. Either ignorant or oblivious.

Impossible. Jonathan Ross is such an icon. :\

Blatant rebellion and sartorial blasphemy then.

i have seen some of the older english gentlemen buttoning their bottom button.. sometimes i guess they just prefer the look..

i checked out Binwani's at the Curve today, not bad they were having sales up to 20% for their fabric, met up with a tailor there by the name of Rashidi, they charge RM800 for their services, additional RM100 for surgeon's cuff, and this kinda lOL-ed me, the RM800 price is only for 1 fitting, additional fittings will cost RM50 each lol..

anyways im eye-ing this fabric, super 120 pure wool mix with a little cashmere.. which cost RM79/meter after discount, i need 3.5 meters so it wld be about RM280 for the fabric alone.. quite good bargain i think..

Do u guys think its weird if I wear a long sleeve shirt with vest for my coursework presentation which requires formal wear? Scared evryone will have this weird look if i tried it..and wear with a tie of coz minus the blazers..

i personally think it requires a really stylish and brave person to pull of the vest-look in malaysia.. one wrong "mistake" and you would no longer look stunning, but look like a youngster instead.. better still, post up a pix and i'll further comment.

Any recommendation on getting slim dress pants/working pants as I found that most of-the-rack 1 do not have slim cutting. Should I go for tailor? Thanks

there are actually many brands who make slim dress pants, topman, seed, padini to name afew.. i'd suggest going out and taking a look at these brands first.. however if you do feel that they are not to your requirement, then you could probably get them tailor made =)

During the summer in western countries, some working professionals forgo their coats in favour of vests due to its versatility. You won't get too hot nor feel too cold in it while still retaining a formal appearance. If the place is air-conditioned, I don't see why not. All you need is courage and confidence to set an example for others to follow. One word of advice if you are pulling this off though, get button down shirts with stripes to avoid looking like a waiter.

jind86 who's your tailor?

Go to Binwani's Jalan TAR, the one in The Curve doesn't have as amazing deals.

well basically i went around and the cheapest tailor i can find is RM650, and he is practically an "unknown" tailor, other places like Bespoked and Lords Tailor and Granoff charge RM1000 for their services, so i think RM800 in general is pretty okay..

i've not confirmed who i want to select to tailor my suit.. the tailor's name in Biswani's Curve is Rashidi.. he's recommended by fellow lyn mate silver2c.. hmmm jalan TAR eh.. do they have more varieties or better tailors?

Going to Jln Tar is an adventure it self. Besides Binwanis, you could check out Gulatis too. And their alternate shop called Euro Moda. But if you are adventurous enough, look inside Campbell complex and Pertama Complex.

Hehe, been wearing topman dress pant since I started working, got 4 - 5 of them, but they are not slim enough, and I don't like those skinny 1.

Jalan TAR has less choices and over there is more marketed for ladies rather than gents. Rashidi is a good tailor and he is quite creative, He design my wedding suit and it was one of the best suit I ever tailored!! though it cost me a bomb!! they have some nice fabrics from Scabal and Zegna especially the shirt material

they have quite a number of colors, but im looking for navy, kinda looking for like a pink/yellow pinstripe..

Gulatis eh, where exactly is that?

there are several cuttings from topman, their slim cut pants i think are pretty slim already.. if u want any slimmer, it wld probably be considered skinny.. post up a picture wearing your pants..

a picture of the suit will be much appreciated

Cant post picture, just move to Singapore and no camera yet. But I got a Sisley with a leg opening of 14". Will post the photo if I go back to MY. hehe

I always go to the one on Jalan TAR. That was their -first- outlet and their main outlet.

Don't bother with Gulati's. Binwani's has a superior selection of designs. It's worth a visit, though. You'll come out feeling odd to why Binwani's can get good designs when Gulati's can't. At least that's how I felt.

alright, im probably going to go check out Binwani's at Jalan Ampang tomorrow..

anyway guys my suit is back from Lord's and am pretty satisfied with it =)

Good to hear that. Time for a picture of you in your rectified suit.
