thats pretty pricey.. im looking at getting a shirt from de-catano at the moment, they start around RM160 for the complete shirt.. d3vilzzz has ordered one.. will wait to take a look at his shirt =)

visit here: http://www.de-catano.com/

They make you wait 2 weeks for a pair of pants? I got a basted suit made up in one week; ditto for the shirt.

Is this the tailor that does non-fused shirts?

That was the date he proposed to me since I said I'm not in a rush to wear the pants. Got a call from him later. The pants will be ready on the 21st.

Yes. He's the non-fused shirtmaker.

Maybe I can drop by your town one weekend and you bring me to him. I want to feel how a non-fused shirt is like. All the characters in Harry Potter have these drapey, floppy non-fused collars.

Somehow their collars are very tall with long collar points.


Torso is baggy. Is this the traditional English cut? Look at the ties!


Hardly anyone buttons the collar button.


See how soft the collar is?


But I prefer her in a dress.

Hmm. The back blades of those ties and unbuttoned collars hinted something. Hogwarts practices great level of sprezzatura.

so yeah i think its pretty pricey

I found this tailor in The Curve, Fit & Match Sdn Bhd

anyone been there?
he quoted me RM150 for a shirt and 180 for pants
much cheaper compared to sparkmanshop

planning to visit de-catano tomorrow to get a custom dress shirt.. kotmj and lanatir you guys have patronized de-catano right? what do you think of their shirt-making?

btw i've not done a custom shirt bfore, what are the steps.. so first is the measurements, then is there like a first and second fitting? or after the measurement the shirt would have been completed in the next visit?

I've never been to decatano. There was a guy here once who got his first bespoke there and was deeply unhappy with it.

I had two pairs of pants made in my hometown earlier this year. The girl (daughter of the tailor) kept asking me about my preference for each measurement. Lots of talking. Result: Unwearable. Too damned tight everywhere. I am a lousy pant designer.

Ah Loke never asks me for my opinion (he always thinks he knows better). Result of the two pants (which came with the suits): Very nice.

Had bespoke shirts made at Chicago and AL. I was very happy with the fit Chicago gave me. Until I wore the AL. Better in EVERY aspect.

So the quality is very variable. It depends on the tailor.

I shall never have a shirt of mine monogrammed. Ever.

hmmm ok.. im pretty attracted to de-catano for some reason and will probably pay them a visit tomorrow to check them out.. plus i'll be in bangsar tomorrow anyway..

not even a monogram in the inner yoke? having a monogram on the shirt just feels more, custom =D

There are no fittings for shirts.

i read somewhere that they were actually for laundry purpose.. in case your shirts got mixed up..

hey jind86,

i got me shirt just yest
pics 2nite!!

Overall, me happy happy.. i'll let me pics do the talking later

whoa, a little pricey me thinks

RM320 for a shirt, norm is good egyptian cotton + workmanship in most places

RM160 right? is it fully custom made or it was modified from a ready-to-wear?

post la pix now, kekeke i was planning to go de-catano soon..

yes! oni RM160, i tink the price is decided base on the material you choose
modified from a ready to wear pattern, chose me cloth/ pre -made pattern ->took me measurements -> and then its made, overall this is it, but with MY measurements

OMG i was eyeing this material too.. so basically yours was a made-to-measure la? you can't change like collar type, cuff type etc rite?

i thought in their website they stated extra RM20 to customize measurement and add your monogram?

haha, 1 thing abt this material is dat the pink stripes are realli pale
yea made to measure, but i was asked if i wanted to change the collar and all, no charge so i guess i could have it changed if i wanted too..

mine is mongramed, no extra charge.. though i dun rmbr asking for it
