Is that the only shirting linen they have? decatano has very nice shirting linen for RM265/shirt.

Why you guys keep making shirts, nobody planning any pants? chinos?

Correct me if I'm wrong...does that means pure linen is the best fabric for dress shirt...and what about for pants????

ill chk them out soon, but to think about it----how does their linen selection compared to say,,,,,jakel?


nice / fitted pants are easier to get / make, but not shirts


i like cotton/linen because they wrinkle a lot,,,,unlike hip fashion people i usually wear my clothes roomier, wrinkled fabrics take advantage / make up for the excess cloth and drape beautifully

i fancy a super120's ++ cotton shirt....

yeah i'd agree.. sometimes mite as well get a rtw pants which fit well rather than getting one made..

show me twill wool double forward pleated pants with side adjusters and 1.5" cuffs and i might be interested

If only more girls wore this material..

What do you guys think about lined chinos (just around the waist, i dunno the term for it)? I plan to have one made up..found some sweeet fabric for them. Having trouble finding the lining design..I did buy a piece of cloth for the lining and pockets but everyone who saw it said they were hideous =(

Shit, I forgot all about hollywood bands when I was at ALT last week.

Added on May 19, 2010, 10:18 pmJakel is ridiculous. Those prices are stupid. I refuse to do business with them. Either quote me reasonable ones, or f*** off.

Decatano has a very nice baby blue linen.

Added on May 19, 2010, 10:21 pmLinen is the best fabric for the tropics. Given a choice, it would be all I'd wear.

So go on and wear a linen shirt and linen suit for the next BOD meeting. Show them who has more style. I suggest pink.

Pink linen suit????I know what alt would say to me - "this must be kotmj idea, " ...

By the way....i luv watching at David Cameron's Saville Row bespoked suit - especially during his first speech as the PM at Downing Street - awesome

hey malutapimau, how much did you make your pants for the last time? the one u made in selayang or something..i can't remember..and i can't find it

mine was rm48 w/ an extra rm7 for inner grip waistband, side buckles, another small pocket inside each front pocket----
this selayang tailor now gently refuses to make me any clothes, saying that im the most difficult customer he ever dealt (aka his worst nightmare)

im now trying a newfound tailor,,he charged rm40 for my pant (same xtra request as above)----pant should be ready nxt wk (after 2months waiting,,,)

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

youre making some pants?


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

i fancy a pant made with this mental attention to detail

http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=175516

whoa, thats cheap.. so far the cheapest quote i got was rm 60..

Yes, that brown chino is very close to what i have in mind, i want a funkier lining, with a zip fly..and maybe some 2 inch cuffs, still thinking..

Dude, a lining is something nobody sees. I think you're misattributing the word "lining". College students, pah.

sorry lah uncle, i don't know the term for it, i only know it makes my pants more comfortable like how a suit's lining makes it more comfortable.

Lined pants are more comfortable? It's bloody hot!

Well, its only around the waist area...
