visited Granoff today and met Mr Mansor to show him the sample materials i picked up from the different material shops i visited.. so made appointment with him and the tailor this sat to go through the details of the suit i wish to get made.. they charge RM1000 for their services, comes with horn buttons and hand stitching (most fused custom made suits in malaysia use glue, not them).. and there's no limit to the number of fittings and no additional charges for surgeon's cuff (unlike binwani which charges RM50 for each extra fitting and RM100 for working cuffs).. the process is quite interesting, supposedly Mansor will sit down with each customer and discuss every little detail, like building a small project together, something i find fascinating because i didnt enjoy such experience with Lords.. i managed to see some of the suits Granoff did and how personalized they were, customers can opt for different lining for the body and for the sleeve, the thread color can be mixed around, and they do this kind of pattern on how the lining flows (will take some pictures on this to further elaborate)..

so anyway will run down to get the materials this friday and start the suit project on sat, will add pictures as well =)

Pagoda shoulders come with roped sleeveheads(usually). That's how shoulders should look with minimal padding. Ironic how Jind86's shoulders looks kinda boxy.

The price is quite good for a swedish-made s120 sharkskin suit jacket. I have yet to check out an Oscar Jacobson suit, so I can't comment much on its quality and construction. Anyway, did you get the pants too as a suit set? By the way, I would not call that a blazer if I were to go by proper sartorial terms. The navy one with gold / brass buttons, on the other hand, might be a true blazer.

Maybe you can post up some pictures of you in the suit jacket so that we can judge the overall fit and cutting from there. 

Was it fully canvassed?

Most fashion retailers seems to have embraced the term although its usage is incorrect, although words and language evolve with time and it has become somewhat acceptable.

May I know what pants are you planning on wearing the suit jacket with, lanatir? Although suit jackets are only meant to be worn with suit pants, I guess we can somewhat defy rules in this time and age. I personally try very hard not to wear them separately but sometimes slack off once a while and pair a suit jacket with jeans or chinos. 

I wonder why OJ did not sell the pants for that suit jacket. If they are to market it as a standalone jacket - i.e: blazer / sportscoat, they shouldn't have used worsted, especially s120.
Haha, indeed, mate. Which is why DSLR-luggers prefer waistcoats anytime. 

That sportcoat looks way too formal to go with jeans actually. It seems as though the pants are missing. I would wear it with chinos but not jeans. I don't know. It's just that I feel a more relaxed blazer preferably made with cotton and patch pockets should go with jeans.

I highly suspect the reason they were clearing it off at such low price is because they ran out of stock for the pants in the first place, since people usually purchase two suit pants with a suit jacket and the sales attendant shrugged off your question. If I'm a sales attendant who is trying to clear off orphaned suit jackets as odd jackets, I too won't tell customers that they originally came with matching suit pants. Haha.

I have never heard of the brand before on other forums, though. Also, there doesn't seem to be any comments regarding the Lanificio Puro Tessuto's fabric quality.

Cufflinks without ties might still be fine in our country due to the weather, although elsewhere, some trad gents condemn others for not wearing suits with their cufflinks.

Lanatir, thata a fine looking jacket you got there. It maybe a part of a suit. But trust me, not many can carry off shiny silver color suit without looking like a pimp. hahaha. Cue some Lebanese guys in suits i saw in KL last month.

But i have seen some being worn nicely with jeans and T-shirt. Actually i have seen 2-3 times in Kl before some guys wearing such a jacket partnered with printed T-shirts and dark colored jeans. One was wearing such combo with sunglasses and a bag, its almost like they came off the magazine pages! The only thing in common among them is they are quite slim. Somehow i always mistake this brand for Oscar De la Renta. hahah.

Tessuto..... now that a name i haven't heard for nearly 15 years! I have seen Durban (yes the Malaysian brand) did use this fabric for their suits long time ago. Also i have seen neck ties with Tessuto labels on them before. And advertisments from local tailors that carry such fabric. Just when i was getting used to Dormeuil brand. hehe.

I would disagree though. Peak lapels in my opinion are more fashion forward. They come and go. Basically, for a suit to be as versatile as possible, it is best to go with notch lapel if you plan to use the suit for interviews, etc... I don't see anything nerdy about notches as long as you keep the gorge and lapel width right.

peak lapel not suitable for business purposes ?

i really dont see any, mostly ladies apparel, why dont you give us the the direct link..

I think i know this shop. They were reviewed by the star sometime back. The carry a limited range of mens clothing. But a lot of womens stuff.

Apart from the sleeves and pants, I can't see a damn thing!

hey, my bro's suit alright, they will call soon when its ready.. then i'll take pix and post them up here.. im tempted to make a cotton suit lol..
