Huh? What are you refering to?

Design? SHouldnt this come from you?

Material? I'm sure tailors are receptive to you bringing your own materials.

Material you can bring your own..

Anyway BIWANIS will have some good material

apart from biwanis, is there anywhere else we can get our own cloth?
i've found a right tailor to help me with my shirt.. he even asked me to look for the cloth that i like..
i've tried several stores but to no avail...
i used to tailor made my clothes in thai, and all i have to do was to choose from the vast cloth around the shop.. but now in Malaysia, i dunno where to begin =( ...
can anyone help me.. thanks....

A number of us go online to purchase materials for our shirts/suits. Price of fabrics in malaysia verge on the insane side, huge savings can be found online.

Binwani's do stitching as well?

Is it possible to cut a pair of skinny jeans into a pair of knee length shorts?

Any decent online source for it? I am looking to start tailoring my shirts as well, but am not sure where to begin looking for clothes online since I do not have a good reference in terms of pricing. Also, how much cloth would we need to make a shirt? I have been told anywhere from 1M to 2M :/

1M doesnt work unless you're a dwarf. Anyway it depends on the fabric width. Go tru this thread, all the answers to your questions are there.

Bought a polo-t but the shirt tail is too long. Can I actually send it to some tairlor / alteration shop to get it shortened? Any good tailor/shop near PJ area?

planning to get a casual blazer tailor made. anyone can help me recommend some good tailors around KL and can give me a rough price estimation?

this will be my first blazer and if it fits well i would like to proceed with making a suit as well.

my height is around 170cm with a slight athletic build. For work shirts im comfortable in those slim fit cut shirts and was wondering if i can apply the same style to blazers and what kind of 'specification' should i ask for?

Thanks in advance!

Check out the "Suits" thread a few page back... its on V3... V2/V1 have more info that would help u

I bought wool pea coat black size S, it's too big for me, im 16 , bought it at amazon ..can tailors alter wool pea coat to fit it to my size? make it skinny like fashion? possible or no

may i ask, can alteration be done for formal shirts - the waist area
cos when its tucked in, quite flappy = alot of excess cloth hanging around, and feel bulky.

any good & cheap tailors for this job? i might do afew piece if anyone can refer me to..and also the estimated price.

thanks!

I would do this at my own tailor. Just that he won't accept any walk-in customers so can't recommend him to you.

You may want to try Za Altera.




P/S: All, where is this guy kotmj? Does he get banned or what? No, I don't miss him, just curious.

any idea on the price range like? so i don't get chopped on the spot.
Or they go by scale/section?

Added on February 2, 2012, 12:57 pmJust enquired at za altera 1u. It's 45 per shirt (double stitch)
Is it reasonable?

What do they actually do to slim it down?

Just 2 darts at the back? Or they actually remove the sides and restich it etc?

the latter i guess... the mentioned something double stitch, and was referring to the 2lines of stitch on my shirt..
So that i think is how they gonna alter it.

RM45 to me is cheap.
I can't speak of others.

Depends on the cost of the original shirt, you can get a new slimfitted shirt for RM50 anyway.....

Or spend RM200~ and get a tailor made shirt....

This, I agree.
