QUOTE(kotmj @ Mar 23 2010, 09:07 AM) Binwani's stuff. RM30/m right? theyre good choice for some reasons----reasonably priced fabrics are needed if 1)youre experimenting a newfound tailor; 2)youre experimenting a new cut / dsign apporoach; 3)you just want an everyday clothes for hard daywork purposes; 4)youre cheap-----im cheap,,Added on March 23, 2010, 5:05 pmThe problem with these cheap poly blend from Binwani's is that they age remarkably quickly. I had two trousers made from them, and after 2 washes in the washing machine they look and feel terrible. |

its so transparent yet the open weave of it will make it probly the most cooling / breathable pant,,,,bad idea for unlined pant especially for a person that doesnt wear underpants----will keep you informed, this is going to be project no.5
