How is kinslager's suit construction?

no idea. never met anyone who did anything with them.

2 pcs suit..is it mean suit + pant?~ sorry..im beginner in all these~

They might use recycled egg carton for chest and shoulder padding...

true??

Of course. In Egypt towards the end of that civilization they started stuffing mummies with rubbish -- chicken bones, etc. -- instead of the expensive stuff. Also, if the mummy was too tall to fit the coffin they would hack the legs and use that as stuffing.

icic~~ that was too horrible~~!! no wonder the last mummy i dig out from my backyard last week got some sort of extra bone which dont belong to the mummy itself..thanks for telling the truth!!

i'm guessing it should be

yes, jacket and pant, 3-piece includes a vest..

if my T-shirt size XL can i ask them to alter it to size S?
give me the price range so that i know they are not cheating me..

thanks

rm550 workmanship for just a suit jacket isn't cheap...right?

what sort of cloth?

My own cloth.

if its more polyester than wool, it should be cheaper than this. if it has more wool than poly, or pure wool, ALT will do it for RM500. This comes with working cuffs and premium lining (the sort Bespokeded charges RM150 for) and padded lapels. If he likes you, you may even get half lining, and if you are me you will even get something else i won't say. Essentially, almost the whole damn works. for rm500.

I'm confused, if he likes me i get half lining. If he doesn't like me, I don't get any lining for rm500? I got my own lining too btw.
My hometown tailor really doesn't say anything, even when asked he only replies to about half the questions. Maybe its the hearing aid. Anyway, I'll try to get more details when I pick up my shirt in 2 weeks time.

If he doesn't like you, you get full lining. Half lining is several hours more work.

When you are there next, look at the suits awaiting collection. Not display suits, but suits with real customers, who will pick them up in a few days. Find something in your size and try it on. Take well-lit pics and post here.

Do tailors allow you to try on other peoples jackets??and taking pictures of it?

I'm quite sure he makes the suits himself. While I was there I saw suiting fabric on his huge table with chalk lines, largest pair of scissors I've seen to date, a pillars worth of what looks like white fusing, and 2 indian men in the back sewing stuff.

Sounds good. At least you know you're dealing with a real tailor, not some shop proprietor. Wish you lots of luck.

Don't be timid. If you want anything just ask like you're entitled to it. Not just with tailors, but with life in general.
