Hi,

I'm very new here.
Was recommended to ask for advice in this thread.
Will be having my uni final year prom in june and decided to give my G2000 suit a try.
Unfortunately it is a tad too big for me now (Its usually the other way round )

What i want is a tailor made modern suit.
My budget is around RM800.
A little more or a little less shouldn't be a problem.

Anyone knows a tailor in KL?
Also, my body structure is kind of tall and lean.
So any advice regarding colour prefrences, cutting and etc would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Hey,

I went to a Zara to check out the suits today.
They have pretty decent suits i think.
A very modern look to their suits.
Its abit above my price range though.
RM700 for the jacket and RM 359 for the matching pants.

The jacket that fits me best was a lil too long on the sleeve though.
Any advice??
Should i look around somemore? If so, where should i look?

Thanks in advanced.

Hello people,

A childhood friend of mine has a tailor for a dad.
Because we are acquainted and stuff, He quoted me a price of RM600 and said he wont be making a profit.
Its gonna be a slim fit suit solid black suit.
I think its not 100% wool though.

Am i getting a good deal?

I just got my suit done and I can still send it for alteration should i need any.
I am no expert on suits so I'm hoping to get some opinions here.
Sorry for the lack of shoes and self taken shot.

Yeap.
Its a two-button suit.

I'm not too sure where the first button is supposed to be placed though.

More open quarters please!  You need to post photos shot from the front, back and sides for a better judge.

Will do so when i have a third party to help snap the pics.

I still think the button stance is too high. The button spacing for the suit does indicate the template used is from a 3 button one. Also the V plunge is too short. If both the buttons were moved lower maybe 1-2 inches lower, then it would be nice. Then the suit will not look long, which i know it isn't. The badly spaced buttons is the problem here.

I appreciate your comment.
Have brought it up with a different tailor and asked for an opinion and he gave me some advice.
He said what matters most is how it fits the body.
Anything else like type of vent and number of buttons is a matter of choice.

He told me the suit matches me well and he never noticed or saw the button stance as a problem.

I will probably get a third opinion on that but at the moment, I'm not too bothered as no one would notice it.
I more worried about the fitting.

Thanks for your opinion.

Yup thats what i have been trying to say all along hehehe. Also i did mention fashion changed a lot especially the rise of the pants. In fact what everyone wore in the 30's ala Chaplin till 50's. Then By 60s'-90's its on the navel. Nowdays its all ala hip hop. Not that you have to expose underwear though. laugh.gif

Yes i grew up watching all those fantastic suits in Dynasty, Dallas, The Equalizer, The Saint, The Avengers, blah blah. Really besides the story, i really marvelled at the suits. brows.gif

Anyway if your suits are tailored by a regular tailor shop, he would probably tailored it the old way. The tailors in Campbell complex is one such old world tailors. Go to Sg Wang its different story altogether.  hmm.gif

Hahaha, really?

I got my suit done in Sg Wang though.
