Owh I'm only 20<  tongue.gif  Btw, at the end point. By the time i reach 30 i wont be wearing it.
Is it because of the skinny cutting nor the design too low cut? hmm.gif

By the way mind showing me jacket, evening jacket, coat, suit & blazer pictures of them and the difference? Don't know how to differentiate  laugh.gif
Need a suit for prom.
*
u wont get much mileage out of the suit anyway due to the distinctively skinny look. wear it more than once or twice and people will begin to notice and wonder if you only had 1 suit to wear.

Congratulations to this thread for reaching its 50th page. Good job to most of us here who have contributed a lot of knowledge regarding suits and helping pushing better fits. Let's push it to the 100th page. wink.gif

Oh, Lanatir. Allow me to commend you for the good choice in bespoke sportscoat: the fabric, paisley half-lining and all. Money well-spent, I guess. smile.gif

thanks... now pocket kosong - but i am looking forward to using it smile.gif

Interesting & useful suit thread. And yes congrats on reaching 50 pages!! We do have many Malaysian gentlemen here who are trendy. Was just checking out the ready-to-wear suits recently. The ones which are quite stylish & reasonably priced can be found in Zara, G2000, Massimo Dutti & Topshop. Zara has got two types of materials priced differently: Polyester/cotton mix (RM429) or Wool blend (RM699).
Massimo Dutti has a very comfy Superwool blend (RM1499) but u'll have to purchase the suit & pants together at the fixed size. This I find is totally weird. I wanted a size 50 suit with a size 34 pants. But they said no. Size 50 suit comes with size 32 pants only. 
Topshop has got a wool/cotton mix light gray suit which is well-cut (slim fit). Price is RM523 for the suit.
[attachmentid=1140877] Zara
[attachmentid=1140880] Massimo Dutti
[attachmentid=1140881] Topshop
I tested G2000 as well. Good price of RM699 inclusive of pants with free tie. But cant find my size for the pattern i want.
In the end bought the Zara one which I am very happy with.

they all look good on you in my opinion judging from these pictures smile.gif but European size 50? you must be quite a big guy then?

by suit i think you mean just the jacket right? but undo the last button.. its like equivalent to a guy wearing a polo and buttoning right to the top..
*
while, to me, buttoning all buttons on a jacket is a no-no, imho, it's definitely ok to button the polo all the way to the top if u wanna have a sort of street look put together (some slim fred perry's or ben shermans on a skinny jeans).

The last button on the jacket (with more than one button) is not meant to be nor designed to be button even though it is functional. This has been an etiquette / rule in dressing up ever since the Edwardian era and this rule applies to waistcoats as well. I remember a forumer on another clothing forums likened the last button on a jacket to nipples on men: they are there but they serve no function and if they did have a function in the past, it has been lost through evolution.

eh nipples got function one... but i'd rather not go there in this thread whistling.gif

is this your first bespoke suit? maybe you've been using some off the rack options that lacked the proper lining details and canvas - so now when putting on a jacket that has all those details inside, you're feeling as though there's some padding there?

hmmm if you stretch your budget to about RM1500 then it would be possible.. otherwise you could try out other more affordable places and get them around RM800 =)

--

btw what kind of material would this be? i've seen some suits similar to this which look like wool but their a little shiny..

i saw one at ted baker similar to this yesterday... maybe a hint less shiny. interesting to the touch.

one more note about the vest in support of what has been said - the vest will be the second most expensive thing in the ensemble after the jacket... seriously think about the mileage you're gonna get from it (especially a white one).

Hi, currently at The Curve, visited Binwani's and got a new quote.

I was offered Zegna cloth and Scabal's. The price for a Zegna come up to about 4k plus. Meanwhile, the Scabal is about RM550 per meter, therefore coming up to about RM2500 plus for a suit and pants only. According to the man in the shop, I need about 3.8m to 4.2m. I looked for Rashidi as recommended by someone a few pages back but he's off today.

What other cheaper options are there? Is there any cheaper range? I'm not sure what's good but least I know the Scabal mentioned above is wool. Not sure pure or mixed, didn't know about such thing.

Lets leave the vest out for now. Thanks for your advise! Apologies if my post is offensive to anyone. Yes, I haven't have much time to research and many thanks for the advise.


Added on September 7, 2009, 5:29 pmFusion,
You're right, I haven't consider the basic cause I dunno bout them. Thanks for highlighting. Much appreciated. I will be more careful from now on.

u're gonna need to state the grade of the wool at the very least (apart from the other details) before anyone can give any opinion
