calvinloke, from Durban, John Master and such ranges start from RM399 for a suit jacket and add in RM139 or more for the pants. They are somewhat more adventurous now. The design and cut can give those super branded ones a run for their money.

One thing is that I can never see their fabric contents. Do you have any idea what are they made of?

Usually mixed fabrics. Last time 80s', they were very reliant on acetate lining and polyster/ rayon and a little wool for the shell. Nowdays, they use more wool still have rayon, polystester and such. But the technology nowdays makes all the fabrics look nice and indistinguishable from one another. Want a little sheen? Add polyester or satin fibre. Want weight? Add cotton or wool. And then let the computer weave it. I think you mentioned Durban, John Master because you were impressed with the cut, details and fabrics used right? So was i. hehe.

There is nothing wrong with it. Unless you happen to bump into factories where they are made. Then you will scream "DID I PAID THAT MUCH FOR THIS?" No really if you can afford paying 5K for a black label. I wonder why one cannot pay RM3-5K for a bespoke/ custom tailored/ fitted one? Oh yeah, i forgot that we live in the "INSTANT" age.

Believe me, you wouldn't want to know the number of negative testimonials that I've come over in other foras, regarding their quality and lifespan.
Although many agreed, disregarding quality, that the only saving grace for Hugo Boss is their athletic cuts.

i personally don't know the quality of Hugo Boss suits as i don't own any.. but yeah if i would to splurge RM3000-RM5000 on a suit, i'd go for a custom made fully canvassed suit which is going to be cut according to my body and specifications..

I believe this guy is much loved by the people in SF. He managed to take all criticisms and insults in a polite way despite how harsh comments are. smile.gif

Which is why I'm posting my rant here instead. tongue.gif That is blatant mockery at style at best or absolutely clueless (while not giving a damn) at worse. sweat.gif

I never bother to rant as I believe his ridiculous efforts to dress like a douche bag are completely deliberate. Hungry for some sartorial attention I guess. I mean who the hell can claim himself to be well dressed after a thousand scornful remarks being thrown in?

Not every Topman store (like Lot 10's or Pyramid's) stock blazers or suits. As far as I know, you will never fail to find blazers and suits at Mid Valley's store. smile.gif

Been there this morning and I can tell you that this is one of the craziest warehouse sales that I've been too even though it's on a working day. I've never seen so many crowds camping at the entrance, in a disorganized and aggressive state. The crowd was so huge that everyone became impatient and ignored the queue. What's worse, people were only allowed into the hall in batches of a few people and hence there was some serious shuffling and pushing. Some ladies even got annoyed due to that and started cursing rudely at the crowd. shocking.gif shocking.gif Suffice to say, I was crushed like a sardine for 2 1/2 hours before allowed to enter.

Inside, Men's clothings, at a small corner, only amount to 1/5 of the stocks. What's worse, after digging through the piles aggressively, I couldn't fine any S-sized garments and only found a few M-sized ones. Queuing up for payment took away another 2 hours and I only purchased one sweater. doh.gif

Good luck to you guys tomorrow since it will be a public holiday. sweat.gif
