hello everyone. Need some advice on tailor made formal pants as i'm big sized. What is the usual price for tailor made office slacks with low/mid quality of wool fabric ? I've visited a shop in Wisma central beside KLCC. they quote me RM250 for wool fabric(made in italy or something like that) to be made into pants. Also quote me RM350 for another type of fabric. Unfortunately, i couldn't take the fabrics photo but it has repetitive vertical line(black/slightly grey) on a black fabric. I was also told to check out Sparkman Shop for tailor made suits/pants. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Hi All,
Would really appreciate the advice on buying a suit(blazer+pants).
I'm a big size person. What's the range of price i should be looking at? and the locations if possible (I'm based at KL)
last time, i bought 1 pair (blazer+ pants) at Jaya Jusco..ready made... cost my around RM700+- from one of the brands (John Master i think).
Thanks a bunch.

Definitely will cost you more than RM1000. Average coat price is RM499-799 and pants is RM199-399. Why choose them? They are the only cheap brand in KL that offers short, regular and tall fitting suits. So you can look at yourself in mirror and see how u want to look. Only very expensive designer brands have such sizes. For me i'm big guy also. My suit size is 46R regular or 46S if i want to look taller. UK 44 is supposed to be XL and 46 is XXL. I saw they have up to 48 which is XXXL. If US size i'm wearing 54R. Never tried 54S before. I end up buying 2 tailor made suits while i was in Egypt few mths ago. after conversion, it's much much cheaper than in Malaysia.
