Hey people,

I'm going off overseas for quite some time and I will need a jacket/blazer/dinner jacket/suit whatnot that will fit me for formal occasions such as business meetings, interviews etc. and also for informal outings such as casual outings dinners drinks etc. which will look good and gives the impression of Hey-im-not-even-trying.

I would also like to add that it may not be too thick or thin as there would be 4 different drastic seasons.

So do you guys recommend custom-tailor-made or buy-off-from-the-shop-and-if-it-doesnt-fit-get-the-guy-there-to-alter-it-for-me ?

Brands pls.

And not too expensive.

Thanks.

Thanks for the advice !

What local tailor would you recommend ? And what's the average price for a jacket that will meet my needs ? How long will a typical custom-made jacket take coz I will need it ASAP.

What brands do you recommend ? The high end fashion ones are out of the picture. The other day I entered a Burberry shop, spotted a jacket and it was really nice, tried it on and it looks good, flipped the price tag over, returned it gently to the sales attendant's hands, and then left the shop, cursing under my breath haha !

Btw I'm going to NY.

Wool and polyester eh ? Alright will check that fabric out !

Sadly I don't have time for overseas shopping coz I will have tons of things to attend to the moment I reach. And that's why a good formal casual all-purpose jacket is neccessary for me.

My budget would be below RM700-800. But of coz for a damn well-made jacket dat is !
