I'm sure it's a very well made pants. But the first thought that came into my mind when I saw the pic was....




Attached thumbnail(s)

Commissioned the wool flannel trousers today. Flannel is a lovely material, so nice to look at and so evocative of coziness in the cold months. The thing is thick like a carpet, about 14 oz. A few months back Canali in The Pavilion had just this shade of flannel trousers on a mannequin and I was amazed by it. Finally, I thought, flannel trousers in the flesh. The softly mottled look was so distinctive. My flannel has a pronounced nap. AL kept stroking the cloth, and he encouraged me to do the same, and indeed the nap was there. He kept saying the nap lets snow slide off the garment.

I wanted a pleated waistband curtain, and even provided the cloth for it, but AL said it’s useless and that they only made sense with trousers without a waistband, etc. The waistband curtain on Zuperpent was merely added on to the waistband, and I could find no purpose for it. I let him win the argument this time.

Zuperpent was the template -- this will be pretty full. When I commissioned my first suit, I could not have pants narrow enough. I impressed upon AL that I expect narrow ones. It was modern, I though, to have “slim fit” pants. It flatters. But after paying close attention to how trousers feel and look, comfort is just too important. Then I chanced upon Zuperpent, which showed me that full pants can look elegant IF you have The Line.

I saw your flannel material which is so thick....must be a preparation for your oversea tour

You should really wear a jacket with your braces. Braces work similarly to brassieres. They are meant to be hidden from sight and can be very sexy when flashed though.

Any recommended bundle shop in klang valley?

My Acorns are on the way.

Who are you using to tailor the shirts? ALT?

Yup...had tailored 11 shirt frm ALT in the last 2 months...and so far I have no complaint beside the charges that keep increasing...

shouldn't it be DEcreasing?

gravity works in the other direction at alt

i think alt has big target for his full retirement plan--------probably a one-off supercar built with a magical quasiturbine engine

Mr. Malu, how is your tailoring apprenticeship in Lorong Savile going on?

My sister graduation are coming near and i need a suit for that event!! I need a casual suit!! My budget around 1k-2k!! Is there any good tailoring in Penang? I don't mind travel all the way down to KL

Nonsense! Even the great Francis Light made his suits in Penang.
