Hi

Planning to taylor make a suit.
Please share some contacts.
I have tried Ray's Taylor in 2nd floor of Sungei Wang.
RM650 for a set of beginner suit, while he recommend rm9xx for medium range suit (coat + pant + formal shirt)

The guys at Sg Wang seems to be more keen on doing custom wacky suits. They will make almost anything! Look at their store displays, its all those video game character suit styles. Large cuffs, frilly collars and bibs, corset cut, blah blah. Its interesting to know they can make such things. But sometimes i hate their fabric choice. Very girly.

I went to KLCC yesterday and saw thhat promo. I was tempted to buy the Autograph suit jacket. But the sizes left are 48 & 52. Pants are 32-36. Still will spend less than RM500 for a complete suit there. But no go for me. heh.

hi there,

why don't u post up your a picture of you in your suit from Ray's Tailor and let us take a look.. =)

Hi

opsss..
I only asked for price...

seesawseen2k - custom made suit for RM650? thats cheap.. im guessing polyester material?

yeah.. possible polyester...

Try The Garden's M&S.I noticed there are a few 38s left while rest are 40 and above. By the way, what's your size (if you don't mind)?

Depends on their cut i'm either a 44R or 46R. Yes i'm big! I cannot make use of their Italian Slim cut suits, neither is their trousers. Maybe if i can trim down a little i could fit in a Size 42R.

for a moment i thought that was actually you.. lol.. plenty of brands actually make this kind of jacket.. try zara, burberry, topman, dkny, emporio armani..

can you show the particular picture?
best deal would be?
i tried Topman Pavilion..cant find one

No you can't find this at Topman at the moment. It varies season to season. But i think you could check out the high end row of shops in KLCC. The last shop which has a lot of brands in it maybe has one.

so Topman actually have this kind?
ouh ok maybe i will try ZARA

Zara also maybe have. If i'm not mistaken last year i saw one like that. But it was either in leather or nylon/ polyester. Priced at RM499 if i'm not mistaken. But that was 2 seasons ago! Good luck.

topman is kinda seasonal so depends on your luck =) you may be able to find something like that in zara as well.. as mentioned, many high-end stores like in KLCC actually may carry them.. u gotta go around and look bro.. lol..

@zariqcools> Do you have a picture with a better view of the jacket? It isn't very apparent from the picture. It kind of looks like a wool pea coat.

Hello,



Some big brands only cares for their brands , it is better to rely on your local stores or tailors forcustom made suits or shirt, at least they wont show you their brand power and would care for your advice and will take care of your need.

notched lapel, centre-back vent
Single chest welt pocket, flap welt pockets at the jacket waist.
Flat-front pants with a lower rise, angled front pockets and buttoned back welts



Surgeon's cuffs!!!


interested in suits. just a college student but would like to learn more. can u explain to me all the parts what is it

well firstly thats not even a malaysian page.. how do u consider that as a "local tailor store".. no.2, they are purchased online, clothing especially suits need very delicate detailing, therefore i wouldn't recommend purchasing a "custom suit" online..


there are two main lapel designs for a suit..

the first is a notch lapel:



this is a peak:



there are three types of designs - ventless, single (centre) vent, and double (side) vents.. vents are made for easier movement..

here's a single vent, where there is a slit in the middle:



here's a double, there are two slits on the sides:



flat front well.. well it means that the pants are non-pleated.. pleated are the ones with the additional folds at the thigh area of the pants.. flat front does not have them and are just, well flat..

pleated:



surgeon's cuffs are basically the functional/working buttons on the cuff of the suit.. you would notice most off-the-rack suits would not have this feature.. the button holes are actually sealed and you would not able to unbutton them.. surgeon cuffs are the symbol of a true custom made suit..

Too add to that, functional buttonholes on the sleeves are called surgeon cuffs because surgeons in the past century operates on patients with their coats on. Hence, they would unbutton their cuffs and roll up their sleeves to prevent getting blood stains on them. Surgeons nowadays operates without suits on and even if emergency requires drastic operation, they would just take the coat off. With that said, in this time and day, there are no need for surgeon cuffs and you will only find fake buttonholes on the sleeves of most modern suit coats.
