@netmatrix: I'm a suit-stalker, holding no interest in the person wearing it.
Speaking of which, does look like a pair of luscious red lips. Man-eater suit, so to speak.

Any possible full shots of your suit instead of macros?

still using the term MTM for bespoke.. hmmm..

hey lanatir, hows your new Granoff suit going? =)

yupp true indeed, but then again they have to realize that this is their advertisement, they have to buy the customers first before the customers start buying from them.. with these kinds of advertisements, it does to some point show their level of involvement to sartorial knowledge.. so when people like me read about this, the first thing that comes to my mind is "how can they not know that, especially if they claimed they've trained in savile row?".. true they may indeed be very good in their craft but are just not familiar with these terms, but that's the impression they send out..

besides that, it is just plain misleading, because im actually seeking for a tailor who's doing REAL made-to-measure, so when read something like that, now im confused to whether it is actually really MTM or they actually meant "custom made"? many of the times i actually end up calling or sending an email to these tailors to clarify which one is it.. till today i've not heard of one tailor in malaysia doing proper MTM..

Thats an interesting article. I didn't know that the 3 partners sold Spark Manshop to another company. Its like them doing a Jimmy Choo ya? But they were really the first thing that comes to mind when getting a tailored suit back then.

So Granoff is owned by the 3 partners of RH or the new Spark Manshop company?

Sweeettt. But things like this seems to be passe nowdays. The new one is those corporate jackets. Look like this but made with poly/cotton/wool.

The Bund? Is that a new movie? Or that classic back in the 70s?

I think Ting Lik has better suits than Hui Man Keong. But subjective as there are times Chow looks better. The most gaya for Chow would be his times as The God of Gamblers la. Or is it a Better Tomorrow Mark Kor?

personally ive tried lords and granoff, my lords suit was more classic in details but fit wasn't to my liking, granoff's details were a little more trendy but fit was really fitting (maybe even a little too tight).. so basically i like lord's simplicity and classic look, and i prefer granoff's fit..

looks good =)

you did just the jacket or the pants as well?

hmmm is there like writing on the buttons? mind sharing how much you paid for it?

very nice.. the color and material looks great..

so basically which tailors have you worked with? i know Granoff and Bespoked.. what others?

as you mentioned you've worked with Jerrick from Bespoked for close to a decade but you still went and got a suit from Granoff, so do you like experimenting around or what?

decatano sounds familiar, their the one in hartamas right? i think i read about them somewhere..

so basically which tailor would you best recommend?
