I'm going to Singapore and one of my friend said there some year end sales for suit cloths.

Question is. How much should I buy for a two piece suit? Like 2m x 2m? I've tailored some of my suits but never have I asked my tailor before how much cloth he used.

Depend on the fabric, for plain, 3.5m should be enough, unless if you are super tall or super big....buy a little bit more if it have stripes or checkered.. if the price really cheap, buy and additional 1.5m for an additional trousers...rule of thumb is 2m for the coat, 1.5m for trousers..

Ahh.. Thanks. That explains. I'm about 175cm tall. So for a 2 piece suit, I guess 4m should be OK right?
