where exactly is kedai butang...give more hints?????

I think I know, I will be going there in a few days. hehe.

Alright, you useless bunch of vain forumers.

The haberdasher with the sublime white MOPs is located in Plaza City One, next to Semua House off Jln TAR. But be forewarned that I have already bought all the truly beautiful ones -- the ones left are so-so.



The largest button shop is located on Petaling Street, opposite Hong Leong Bank, and is called Dexon. They have no shirting MOPs.

Thanks kotmj....asci had the feeling the kedai butang is around Jln TAR..never thought that there is a specialist button shop around Petaling Street area....

geng,,,collected my shirts yesterday--------shirts are very nice although not without flaws but overall im satisfied with this non-fused shirt experiment,,

4 new shirts to wear nxt week---fr left>> 2-ply white supplex >> 2-ply baby blue supplex >> white cotton-linen >> 2-ply blue s-100's cotton


heres the look of a shirt collar made of self-fabric as interfacing---


teh tailor kept saying her shop buttons will look nicer on my shirts than this MOP buttons,,,haihhh


i think this thread has made me a better customer,,,,,maybe a more difficult customer to tailor eyes but nonetheless a wiser ones----thx

WHY do you remove the tailor's label? WHY?

The sewing looks great, very dense. The color selection is very much to my taste. The self-fabric interfacing looks successful.

I was walking around somewhere after dinner near my place just now, and stumbled upon a decatano.

Very competitive prices and incredible selection! Their single-ply Japanese stuff is going for RM138/shirt. Their two-ply stuff go for RM170/shirt. Their best go for RM200/shirt. They have TONS of cloth for you to choose! TONS!!

I was looking for a salmon gingham, but they have a red gingham I might consider. This is my inspiration:



Thankfully they were closing, otherwise I might have bespoken myself another shirt.

Yes, I have a lavender shirt tailored.

Did someone ask?

Just in case.

labels usually give me itchiness on my sweaty neck when im working

-----------------------

this is my reference of a great natural-look shirt---

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=31006024

notice all the crumples / wrinkles / creases? a shirt needs a moderate excess of cloth everywhere to has this effect

-------------------

someone should try decatano again,,,opt for striped / checked fabrics but pattern must perfectly matched----a premium tailor should provides this kind of mental attention to detail---

How can I tell the difference between MOP and plastic?

i believe MOP is shinier but inconsistent in quality (= unique)---we'll notice the difference with the correct flash / lighting / sunlight----

The question is irrelevant to those who have seen real MOP. Night and day.
