Okay, then we are talking about 2 different tailor.

Merlin run by 2 ladies and it was recommended by some members here before.

Its way much easier to alter the length of cuffs without functional cuff buttons. About ruining the suit, i doubt any tailor could ruin it. But ask M&S if they do alteration first. Its probably free if they do.

This shop is one that was supposedly be a hidden secret.

But its not. Just the facade of the place did not make u think about it. Its pricey too. But they probably have what you want. Kotmj says they do not do modern suits cuts. You have to go there to know if their style works for you.

Hi guys

My wedding is coming up and I'm looking for three suits for my Groomsmen.

Any one recommend a low-mid ranged tailor?

yesterday i got pass by that shop. it's call Merlin. it's run by father, mother & daughter

Hi vasderam and all

I am not sure if you have bought your desired suit for your wedding

I am here with the vision of getting an impressive and unique shirt, Fit Custom Shirts are making shirts on an affordable prices range. They offer custom shirts in more than 120-fabrics ranging in pattern from checks, plains, and stripes and textured patterns to fabric in fine European-weavers in 120 S-150S super fine US Cotton. Removable Collars and 21 stitches/inch! Price: USD 65.

you can see the wide range of fabric here http://www.fitcustomshirts.com/custom-dress-shirts

I doubt they alter the sleeve length. Anyway non-working cuff sleeve length is easy, no rocket science there.

since when is KFW a secret?

ANyway... i find lots of these "old timers/small shops" u need to know what u are lookign for.. and be able to TELL them... if u want a decent suit. Otherwise stick to more commercial ones...

During the canvasing time. Like hard to find shops that do canvasing instead of fusing.

Oh yaaa.... i remember there was once camvassing seems like the holy grail lol

anyway these days I get mine done at Wardrobe, they do canvassing @ +500 if i remember correctly.
I dont do suits anymore (one only needs that many suits in msia), i only go for shirts.

fashion noobie here, anyone know if i can convert my double cuffs to single cuffs with the button?

anyone know a tailor that does it well

I don't see it is a tough task.

You may approach with any tailor shop and inform your requirement

went amcorp mall today to look for a reasonable suit for my wedding (which i can still use for other occassions in future)

went top floor where there is a all year long european garment warehouse, they have range from 299-1500 per set (branded and non-branded), the branded stuffs which comes with price tag above 899 per set have quite some nice designs but way over my budget and the sizes there are limited

so went on scouting on 1st floor tailors, went to Peter's tailor and Top Cut tailor at 1st floor, was quoted 8xx per set for normal suit with normal material (since above my 500 budget, decided not to ask more)

continue scouting, then saw tis frantalay tailor also at 1st floor, quoted 488 per set, no additional charges despite my big size
chosed a black suit with 2 buttons (tailor said, men with belly better have 2 buttons type), material choose black color hard type cotton cloth....i prefer hard type as it looks better for pants

so for those who have limited budget, can go see see this shop and have him quote. Fastest time for delivery is 2 weeks, but since i'm not in very rush mode, tailor will take 1 month, 2 weeks when sample is ready, another 1 week to remeasure fitting, 4th week deliver

Totally agreed. Especially when it comes to Suits. If it does not fit well, it can pretty fuq up your presentation day or job interviewing.
I have been to many tailors, bkt bintang, pertama complex and even sparksmanshop. Not entirely satisfied with them. Recently my boss
intro-ed me to a tailor who did my boss group of companies uniform. They are actually manufacturers in Cheras. I call them up unfortunately they only accept bulk orders, however
they can still do small orders or piece by piece. you just need book appointment with them. The boss (JIM) is really nice and easy to work with. Price is amazingly cheap and affordable
as they are the manufacturer. My boss told me they are doing suits uniforms for louis vuitton, tag heuer, coach stores. amazing.
I got my wool suit and pants for 1200 only while regular bkt bintang shops charge me double for the same thing.
Their company name is Gordon Suits. Sorry I dont have his number with me but u can checkout their website at http://gordonsuits.com/
good luck guys.

Hi Guys

I wanted to custom make some working shirts, any place to to recommed? Just worry what one need to know before going. As compare to ready made, when you see it, you like it or dislike is instant. Would they just ask you what kind of shirts you want?

Suggested tailor can be found in this thread, you may need to search them.

Tailor would ask u preference on material, colour, pattern of the clothes, body fit, button matching, collar and etc..


basically you are a designer on your own!

Wanted to get a sports jacket for company dinner and events.

Should I go for Zara which cost RM499 a piece which need alteration or should I get a tailored piece? And how much would a tailored piece cost?

Kindly advise

I went to Ray Tailors. Frankly based on the samples and material , kinda lost motivation.

There are plenty options out there.

At times, not so lucky to get the right one for first time

good luck
