QUOTE(MeToo @ Sep 14 2012, 11:53 AM) U wanted to do what to them? Shorten it? Its... messy... just to share my experience With one of my suits, they mess up the buttons (I wanted slight overlapping, they didnt) so the boss came and offered to re-do the entire sleeve for me. You just cant just "fix" the button holes. yes i know...but i'll give it a try...the sleeve is too long...but the damn buttonholes made them impossible to hem the sleeve...only way is to alter from the shoulder...tailor was not willing to do it...said that my suit was the correct length  when its already reaching the base of my thumb...i insisted...will know the results next thursday...fingers crossed

If you do find any, please do let me know as well. I've always had to have my pants hemmed and have yet to meet any tailor which can alter without any problems. Added on October 10, 2012, 6:19 pmGuys, I am planning on getting a suit made and I have come to gather from the other pinned thread that we should avoid sourcing the fabric directly from the tailor, so I just need some leads to where I can get the fabric that I want. I think it should be a fairly straightforward as I am only looking for a plain wool fabrics. I am more on the budget side of things and therefore looking at something that gives good value for money. Besides British Fabrics, where else can I source my fabric from? Thanks. This post has been edited by Grooveride: Oct 11 2012, 11:06 PM

Hey guys, is linen popular as a fabric here in Malaysia? I'm looking to get a linen suit.
Do tailors normally stock linen fabric for suits? If you guys could point me to the right direction, that'd be great!
