Recently commissioned a suit in our neighbour Jkt, as i often travel there for work. Surprisingly having looked around quite a few tailors there still offers full canvassed suits. So I went for a fully canvassed 3 piece suit - just had first fitting last week. I will keep those interested posted once the suit is done.

Oh and price? It is almost half of what you pay in KL (i brought my own cloth); for both full and half canvassed suits..

Cheers.

Hey, any update on this? I'd be curious to know how it turned out and what the price point was as half or fully canvassed suits are a rarity normally.

Isn't most tailored suits gets half or fully canvassed? Or I blur sotong?

Most tailored suits use a floating canvas throughout the front panel, which is very different from a half canvas wink.gif.. The terms are often mixed up though and I get the confusion. It takes a lot more time, effort and money to make a half or fully canvassed suit. If you've got a suit for say 2000 MYR it's pretty unlikely it's half canvassed.

I've heard there are also some good traveling tailors coming over to KL some times. My friends got a few from Bangkok, Pinkies or Tailor On Ten are pretty decent I believe and are coming over quite regularly.

A review on ToT please. One of the rare 'proper' tailors in Bangkok so it would be interesting to see their work.

My friends' suit looks awesome so that I know wink.gif. But looking at their website their pricing seems pretty competitive. They are in KL this week I see, wouldn't mind trying them out.
