Guys, am keen to get a set of suit off the shelf. For now I managed to get the jacket but matching pants only left size 36 while I wear 31 inch.

Is it possible for a tailor to alter a bigger size pants to suit my current waist size of 31 inch? In my mind it seems possible. Not sure if it can be possible done without adversely losing the cutting of the pants. If its possible, which tailor have you used that is able to do this alteration?

Cheers for any pointers.

How much does it cost per shirt? What's the material?

I not sure with the cloth name. But its about RM260 per shirt. Let's see if it turns out well.

Anyone with experience with Esteem Fashion at Petaling Jaya, heard from friends this tailor quite good, rates are reasonable also

ask the sales person to get the right size pants instead.

slightly related, how much does it cost to alter a pants from regular fit to slim fit?

got a dickies cargo work pants, that i kinda like but i feel like it would looks 500% better if its slim fit/tapered.

I did my first suit at Wardrobe Bangsar.. not bad but keen to try another tailor for a navy blue one. Those that know how to do a modern slim fit..

any recommendations?

How much is the damage in wardrobe bangsar?

From RM2.2k onwards for wool blend suit

2.2k is not exactly cheap, but not bad to be honest..

What is considered cheap then but still acceptable quality and fit?

Jeremy Tok starts at 1.6k iirc, and I think a couple hundred you can get a full canvassed.

So I'm sure there are a few more others that offers at that range as well.

Guy, I would like to tailor made a set of tux for my big day ahead, would you guys recon doing at msia or neighboring countries?

Just commissioned a peak lapel tuxedo complete with pants and shirt for around RM1700 at FOX Putrajaya.

If I were to get a suit off the shelf but needs alteration on the sleeve and the waistline...possible? How much yea?

Hey bro How's Jeremy's work?

I've set an appt with him

I never took any picture of the two pieces I done with him, so I can't show off here .. zhou86 and shauno had pieces done from him, they might have some pictures. Of course, his tumblr showcases a few items as well: http://jeremytok.tumblr.com/

He is detailed and fussy about his work, which I liked because I have seen him just redo a part because he felt there was a small part that didn't sit right. Secondly, he is very open to ideas and suggestions but is not 'kedekut' in sharing what he knows. Finally, he doesn't do hard sell and is pretty transparent in his dealings, which I always appreciate.

My first piece with him, I had zero idea what I wanted, he guided me and explained to me the differences between all the options available and the reasoning behind certain choices.. so for my second, I had a much better clue about what i had in mind.. what are you going for?

p/s: hmm.. maybe I should take some pictures

does jeremy tailor work shirt & pants as well? what's the cost?

Yes he does. 250 per dress shirt in his standard house shirting, minimum 3 shirts for first time. Not sure about pants.
