You must be looking at the wrong place then. Mice follow their keen senses for good food, and not even the wrath of town councils will deter them from their prized possessions.

days are getting hotter and hotter------lightweigth breathable fabrics, summer colors is the way to go,,,e.g light linen fabrics like this----



everyone should at least has a pair of linen pant tailored

Parliament coat maker

I bought a length of white shirting linen today. Also, a dozen real MOP buttons. I plan to have MBT2 make it up for me.

kotmj, is that pure linen or a linen cotton blend?

the understanding was that it's linen, but it could be a mix since there is no selvedge

"OMFG you found MOP buttons in KL, omfg, omfg"

hm..linen mixes are better IMO. I love my linen bermudas so much that I'm planning to get a pair of long pants made this time out of brown linen.
I wanted to ask you where the hell you found those MOP buttons for 15 fcking ringgit but i didnt think you would tell so easily

linen pants collected


this probably will be matched with batik shirt / future nehru collar untuckables

Anyone can recommend me tailor which are good for Baju Melayu?

I saw a baju melayu tailor inside Alamanda putrajaya called Omar Ali.

omar ali is a longtime tailor for traditional clothes,,,,they originally based in wisma yakin, jln tar-----

where do you stay, Putraskyline?

I'm staying at OUG. So Omar Ali shops are still in wisma yakin?

Looks good. Who made it and for how much?

wow...nice pant.

is it a cinch-back?

it's rare to see a formal pant with a cinch-back

yep,,,,,, baju melayu is the easiest to make-------any tailor can make a good baju melayu,,, important: ask for ~1-1.5" less from teh tailor measurement

a small tailor in my area,,,,he charged rm48-55(labour),,he doesnt make lined pants though...
-----buttons were from kedai peralatan jahitan,,,,

thats a removable side buckle


i might try a cinchback style for the next pant,,,,i already have the hardwares needed from a donor pant

WTF is that? What are all the buttons there for?

Why to ask less from measurement?

Those two buttons are probably for the back pockets



But what is that button for?

what do you think?

its common sense,,,,,tailors always make roomier baju melayu so they dont need to alter it after raya----fitted cut is something theyre not used to----

buckles are removable-----we can throw our pant to a washer without damaging anything,,,apparently this was always requested by customers 20years ago when beltless w/ buckled pants were the norms <--- accrording to the tailor

malutapimau, the linen looks rough, is it pure linen? if it isn't how many % linen?
