Anyone have any idea where to

1) Alter a black leather jacket? Sleeves are slightly too long and width to adjust 1 size smaller.... i lost weight that's why sad.gif

2) Same goes for a normal coat? Need to alter it 1 size smaller / shorten sleeve also. Is Za Altera okay for this?

I'm in the Klang Valley. Thanks smile.gif

Thanks. RM95 to shorten one sleeve or both?

If I want them to alter the body to better fit my body, as well as shorten the length of the coat, how much would that roughly cost? I think i have lost weight.

Hi guys! I've had two bespoke suits made prior and I've recently purchased my 1st of the rack suit. I saw a suit from Hugo Boss and it retails for around RM4k but discounted down to RM1.3k. I managed to get it altered and it fits well. I'm just curious as I've read online that even big brands like Hugo and certain lines in the Zegna and Ralph Lauren houses actually sell fused suits.

I've done the pinch test and I can feel 3 separate fabrics, so I'm just curious. Anyone with any experience with Hugo Boss?

Hi guys, I'm looking for the following to wear with my tux:

1. Cufflinks and studs - like this one: user posted image

2. Bow tie

3. Pocket square

Anyone know where I can get these accessories at a good price? Cuffz is too expensive IMO.

Try your lifestyle mall, ie Robinson, Isetan, Tangs, heck even Aeon...they have in-house brands that is decent and price wise cheaper.

Hey guys. I hope this is the right thread to ask in.

Can I get some recommendations on places to buy pure or mixed wool? Would appreciate if you guys could let me know the info of any stores that have good products and won't rip me off.

Also, does anyone know the current pricing for pure wool? Say maybe Super 100's or so?
