I'm calling him MBT2. So now, these are the good tailors in Malaysia: GDT, UGT, MBT, MBT2, and ALT.
 Added on March 7, 2010, 9:19 pmNo it's not Ron. Ron fuses everything. Added on March 7, 2010, 9:49 pmI guess there is no harm showing the card:  This post has been edited by kotmj: Mar 7 2010, 09:49 PM |

Nah, old tailor. I dun know why the number is so low. Maybe every time a customer fails to collect the goods and pay the money, he resets it to zero to see how far he can go before it occurs again. The guy's 50-60 yo.

Nope. His workshop is not in his shop. I was feeling unwell that day, so I did not manage to instill much fear in him. I wonder if the results will suffer.

there're interlining meant for nonfused shirting, look for lining with no polyamide glue on them-----it has variants of thickness too,,,,like very thin, medium thin and thick / stiff
we can bring this lining to a tailor and ask them to make a shirt using it |
