Dear all,

I wonder what is the right length for trousers. I mean should we ask the tailor to measure the length until it reaches our ankle, heel or else? What are the tips that you have when going for measurements/alterations e.g. wearing the dress shoes etc. so that the tailor can measure it correctly?

Currently, I like to have it an inch longer below my ankle because I hate the feeling of "hanging" trousers when I walk. I also don't like to have my trousers expose some skin when I sit, which is normally the case if the length is not long enough. However, this will give me some creases at bottom of the trousers when I stand up straight. Is this acceptable?

I notice that the trend is to have it measured so that there is no crease. Is this the right length from bespoke point of view? If I were to do this, I reckon that I have to deal with the feeling of hanging trousers when I walk and most probably show some skin when I sit. How do you deal with it?

Thanks!

pants should cover a bit of shoes but show some bits of socks while we walking,,,,,to deal wth it we need to wear nice / fancy socks---like this

does anyone know where to get a good deal to tailor a laser fitting suit? asap, i've got prom and a hot date!

Thanks!

I have never seen anyone wearing such socks before. Could it be that I am working in a more conservative workplace?

most people were trying to be safe + wear dark socks-----black/navy/dk.brown

Gawd Damn. Moderators, is there anyone here who isn't a stalker?

Very nice linen jacket. Take note of the spalla camicia shoulder.

any tailor to recommend in JB?

Hey I've got those colourful Renoma socks though.

Is it possible to tailor a pair of regular straight cut to a slim fit for my pair of jeans??

possible,,,,but----unless its a dry jeans, you will lose the prewashed effect on the seams----just live w/ it

thanks for the input, btw does it cost a significant amount doing this versus buying a new pair?

Depends alot on yours is a RM20 pasar malam jeans or RM1500 evisu...

Its rm 300+ levis jeans...

This is what I just picked up. It's a story about Richard Anderson's life in the bespoke world. Hope I can gain some insight!

Hahaha, well its a theory

Bad idea. Slim fit, the tightness around the crotch area might lessen the libido, not to mention any.. er.. enlargement in the area would be uncomfortable as well...

Oh and I agree.. just get another pair

Richard Anderson trying to justify why he charges the sky for his bespoke suits. I wonder if he talks about the nasty episode at Huntsman that lead to his departure

I haven't finished but what happened at Huntsman?
