My Bangkok Tailored suit just arrived today...
since i only had one fitting session (spent too short of a time in BKK), the fitting of some parts are not satisfactory sad.gif
Sleeves too long, waist could be alittle more fitting, didnt get the peak lapels i requested for, buttons seems a little too high.
and the way one side rests over the other at the front seems "off". maybe cos its been bundled up during the delivery... i'll see hot that goes over time.
not too happy bout the buttons style on the sleeves too tongue.gif
well, its my first custom tailored suit since 7 years, so its still the best piece in my wardrobe now smile.gif
8500THB (approx RM850) for 2 piece suit.
well, at least i will know what to tell him to change if i ever do make another suit with him

i havent posted pics in a long time.. so i kinda forgotten. anyway, here goes:

frontback

I dont know why the pic quality sux.
the suit is charcoal dark grey if the pic quality doesnt show it.
the tailor claims its cashmere. personally, i dunno jacks%^t about fabrics... so i cant tell the difference. still need to be schooled.
oh, sorry, i forgotten to wear shoes too.

OH Thanks for putting them pics up!!!!
yeah, my measurements are around there...
cos i do gym training so i managed to bulked up a little bit
i had to pull the sleeves out for it to show... otherwise, i think they would sink in naturally and not show...
i'll see what i can do with the pants.
Thanks for the input smile.gif

i had some shirts tailored from the same guy too, i'll get pics of those soon and post em up as well.

edit: oh yeah, the pic quality is so bad that i cant see the top pocket on the left chest -.-"

No, I have so many bills to pay this month. Moving house etc. so need to cough up 3 month's rent. Car insurance etc.

I'm concentrating on shirts and trousers in the short term.

Everybody knows where I buy my fabrics.

ebay. of course. tongue.gif

oh well, was hoping to see how that fabric would look like as a suit. do show us when u ever get it done smile.gif

I've actually tried on the Hugo Boss itself, well i can't said much about how both of it would be comparable, since the Hugo that i've tried has smaller sizes and the ready made, MTM, are having sizes that are beyond my size, maybe that would have resulted in me having a shift judgement.

Besides, I am not saying Hugo is entirely better than a MTM suit, knowing, MTM should always fits you best given it to be MTM. Nevertheless, i am not trying to disgrace any suits here. On contrary, this would be my first suit, and i can't have better judgement than anyone here as most of the forumers in this thread has sound knowledge as to what MTM is about.

But my main question here remains as to anyone has ever tried MTM suits from Mastermanshop in KLCC? Would it be a shop under your recommendation?

Never tried it.

but how do you try a MTM that is beyond your size? o.O
probably the tailors sense of style is lacking and isnt too familiar with more modern cuts and fittings.
like kotmj said, there are alot of lousy tailors out there.

From the back, it looks great.

from the front, it doesnt look as waist-ed as expected. issit cos arms are slightly lifted?
also, the collars/lapels doesnt seem to be pressed down very well near the top button. seems to stick out
the armholes doesnt look that high tho. mebbe its just the lighting.
Overall, everything else looks great.
sleeves showing. shoulders looks right. beats the crap out of any ready to wear suits.

Just took a second look and I'm not sure I'd even bother with the waist. It looks so good as it is.

But here are some pics of a 6' guy with broader shoulders than you with deeply, incredibly waisted jakcets which were the inspiration for mine. bHis name is whoopee and is a memebr of sf.

WOW!!!! Those suits make him look incredible!
i've never seen a suit make someone look that great before!
small notices: the first 2 suits pockets are on the right. thats rather interesting.
his right shoulder also seems a little higher than his left... prolly his posture.
but DAMN!!!!! i MUST have a suit that makes me look like that too!!!! $%^&ing awesome!!!

seems like you dont really care about fit, cutting and materials. in that case, if all you want is cheap, go to garage sales then. lots of cheap stuff there. some used stuffs in good condition too
