Mind posting some shots of yourself in the said suit for us to "oooh" and "ahhh" over it?

ps : Oh and dont forget some customary crotch shots for kakmj

Shopping with the wife yesterday and walked into Granoff at Gardens, was quoted RM900 for a cotton shirt, RM1200 for linen. RTW is RM450 cotton... is this their "normal" pricing.. or do I look especially rich (or the Chinese would put it "waterfish")?!

On another note, I noticed superfine (120s) alumo cotton wrinkle so badly (unlike some, i dont like my shirts wrinkled) i'm leaning towards linen... is this common or its my fault again..?

Somehow cant see the pic you posted.

--------------------------------------------

On another note, anyone have strong opinion about NON-pleated pants? While i feel it looks 'cleaner' when standing up, its severely constricting when sitting down, and I spend most of the day doign that.... any tips and tricks around making a nice fitting pants without pleats while not putting my manhood in a vise?

Sorry my bad, i meant non-pleated pants, bad typo on my part

I kinda expect such line of answers hahaha...

But becareful, you might be accused by some mods of trolling and "counter trolling" (whatever that means).

@Dell2011, if you actually read thru the thread, you can have a fairly good idea on how logn it takes to make a suit at the various tailors in town. A little homework helps.

GOing back on posting i missed, I just noticed this.

3.6M enough for 2 shirts? I was under the impression you need about 3m (x90cm) for a single longsleeve shirt?

Huh? Are you kidding? Just toss them in the washing machine. If you have to hand wash every single tailor made cotton shirt.. you will be kinda busy? Its cotton for goodness sake..

Wardrobe...

Yeah.. trying for the retro look... actually its not that big.. maybe its the the camera angle..

the handtacking is upon request (no extra charge), the contrasting buttonholes makes it a little less formal, my office dress code is pretty relaxed.
Didnt take enough photo of the shirt, the bulge at the base of the neck/shoulder.... need to find a way to fix that, the 2 darts at the back of the shirt could be a little more clean, there seems to be pulling at funny places side/front? DOnt really know how to put it into words..

The Executive, they have a bunch of slimfit stuff at pretty low prices. Time will tell if they are durable or another Padini...

Nope. Trying that currently with different shoulder measurements for each shoulder to see if they will accomodate my posture and get rid of lower neck bunching.

Um.. i have 2 shirts on the way at bespoked. Its better then Granoff's cotton starting at RM900

Also u might wanna try De-catano (ONLY the HQ pls), their workmanship is RM100

de-catano hq is in hartamas. THey have a branch in Summit.... i dont recommend it.
Price, when their website was still up, is aroudn RM250. But their workmanship is RM100. They also always have some kinda pormotion going on.

Bespoked, havent really impressed me yet. But I have a friend who asked them to alter his shirt for the 3rd time at no extra cost due to fit issue. They havent thrown him out of the store yet.

I think most alteration here is done by our own preferred tailors or if in doubt, Za Altera. Havent seen anyone discussing Sg Wang tailors.

My tailor sez 1.7~2.0 (high end only if its checks etc). Unless you are into bodybuilding and have 22 inch biceps?

Yes, should be fine as long as its relatively new.

Let me double check with my tailor and I'll get back to you.

Try read up on the suiting thread instead. As for RM350, i think that woudl hardly cover the cost of the material...

Well, then you got an awesome deal. Post up some pics at the suiting thread or this thread to awe us !

Actually instead of good/fast/cheap... maybe you should be concern about fit/quality? Otherwise what is the use of a tailored shirt if the fit is goign to end up like what you buy from padini?
