Hi guys,

I'll be getting a suit for my wedding dinner and have looked through the suits from G2000, Padini, Seed.
Tried on some of them and honestly, while I think they looked okay, I just felt that perhaps better suits can be found (been reading from page 1).
The material wasn't very impressive either.

So I thought why not get one tailored?
Went to the first tailor shop I found and asked for some info.
RM400 for a polyester suit and RM550 for a mix-wool suit. They take measurements, then 1 fitting and done.
I thought the price is not bad, cheaper than OTR.
Now the question is, if the tailor is not skilled, will the suit be worse than one OTR?

It's a long shot, but does anyone here know of a good tailor in Penang?



Oh... budget is kind of tight, so I can't afford to get those >RM1000

Most probably 1 time use; my wedding.
But I need to use the suit 3 times, cause 2 dinners and 1 photo shoot.

Well, I've been trying to do that, just not that confident of my judgement.

I believe that side adjusters haven't been mentioned before in this thread.
Did a short search for it, and apparently it marks that the pants are made for the wearer.
Aside from that, why side adjusters over belt loops (hence belt)?

Does this goes well with a non-pleated pants?

Hi guys..

I've committed a tailor to do my suit.

However, after discussing with with him and the measurements taken, I felt that his style is rather old fashion.
The jacket length he prefers seems a bit too long, so are the sleeves.
He thinks that it is okay either way for the shirt cuffs to show or not. In fact, he showed me pictures and claimed that the cuffs appear only because of movement.
I cannot understand what he is talking about when he talked about the shoulder.

Anyway, I've told him to hold off until I get back to him.

Can I get some pointers to guide him to a more modern suit? I've tried looking back to the pages but its 120 pages long.

My plan is to further educate myself and bring my notebook with pictures to him. His catalogs are rather dated.



As for why I chose him even though I'm not satisfied with him, its a stupid story too troublesome to tell and to explain. Please forgive me

Ah yes, thanks for the reminder. I've reread it and it points to



Honestly I don't understand much of the terminology used but will research upon it.

This extra cloth you are talking about, is it visible on a finish jacket?
Any pictorial guide?

You are a life saver. A really big thanks.
I'll have another chat with the tailor tomorrow and see how it works out.

I've talked to the tailor uncle, mainly about making the armhole smaller.
He understands that smaller armhole will prevent the jacket from rising with your arm, and the extra cloth behind the armscye will give flexibility to arm movements.
But he also insists that the jacket shoulder rising is a normal thing to happen.
We parted on he making the armhole an sensibly small as possible. Hope that is going to turn out okay...
