QUOTE(SonnyCooL @ Jul 18 2016, 02:54 PM) My suit prices range 2.5-4k (100% wool), but my tailor quote me for 6.8k for my new suit, i think a bit too much already, this proberly will be my last suit from him ..... (show u guy when collecting it this friday) ... I've heard there are also some good traveling tailors coming over to KL some times. My friends got a few from Bangkok, Pinkies or Tailor On Ten are pretty decent I believe and are coming over quite regularly.

One of the rare 'proper' tailors in Bangkok so it would be interesting to see their work.

QUOTE(fuzzy @ Jul 18 2016, 05:24 PM) At that price range, would people like Jeremy Tok, Bespoke or Ah Loke and the other usual suspects would fit yours no? The last chat I had with JT, I think his H&S was around 6k, my starter kit back then was around 1.6k .. That why looking for alternatives  we too comfort with them already .. I not fancy of big name, just wool n decent skill can do me already .... QUOTE(FireSocial @ Jul 18 2016, 05:49 PM) I've heard there are also some good traveling tailors coming over to KL some times.

Only ToT is a proper bespoke from the list, the rest are generally those with 1-2 days turnaround which leads me to suspect they are more RTW or fused suits heavy rather than mtm...

But looking at their website their pricing seems pretty competitive. They are in KL this week I see, wouldn't mind trying them out.

Getting Started

QUOTE(FireSocial @ Jul 18 2016, 01:21 PM) Hey, any update on this? I'd be curious to know how it turned out and what the price point was as half or fully canvassed suits are a rarity normally. First suit turned up alright! I am making 2 more closer to end of this month - August, as I have additional cloth lying around. Will go for another full canvassed and another half canvassed just so I could see if the differences are significant / minimal. Price for half canvassed is half of ALT, full canvassed I have no comparison as I did not find one in Msia previously.

Just collect it .... Comment for me ok lo, this round i make it tighter to show my waist, good thing abt them is they can rush for me. bad: price look a bit on high size now.

Hi. Suit newbie here. Gotta get a suit for my bro's wedding soon. Are there any tailors charging 400-800ish for a piece? Cant afford beyond 1k and the ready made ones I find in retail stores never fit well on me.

How much the price? I am looking at ToT to make the suit in Bangkok. Would it be cheaper there / what's the expected turnover time? Thanks!

Anyone knows of a decent and cheap alteration service?
I just want to alter the sleeve length for a few shirts I purchased off the rack.
Thank you for any kind recommendations!
