Any decent online source for it? I am looking to start tailoring my shirts as well, but am not sure where to begin looking for clothes online since I do not have a good reference in terms of pricing. Also, how much cloth would we need to make a shirt? I have been told anywhere from 1M to 2M :/

Also because of this:

No experience with ALT, but mine was done with Jeremy. I had a couple of other experiences with smaller so called "old school" houses which I can only extrapolate to ALT's style.

Jeremy was very knowledgeable, patient and most importantly to me, was willing to share on what might or might not work on my piece. This is because I was pretty apathetic to this all and would have just followed whatever a tailor will say.

This was exactly what happened with a friend's suit which was done in a tailor at 1U and the result was this:



A fused piece with that being told is the appropriate length, refusal to do working buttons and the advise that one should button all the buttons when your photo is being taken. It cost him more than 2k.

Looking back I'm pretty grateful for JT's guidance and his perfectionist view on his pieces because the flexibility and knowledge meant I was able to consider the pro and cons of a certain cut (i.e. advantages and cons of having pleats) then decide which to go for. He was also quite willing, if not extremely interested to try on the more unusual or interesting style that I'm not sure if ALT would offer / agree from the past stories I've heard.

If you're a deadbrain at this like me, would recommend Jeremy's.

Yes. I think it's largely depends on what you want to do. Half or full canvassed? Material?

I can't remember the name, but I'd say it is near 1U JJ area

1) I'm not sure if his brochure have changed, but with me, it was inclusive of material though you can opt to choose better one at a different price or get your own cloth.

2) Yes, you choose either half or full canvassed.

Should be around the price of his brochure. Just give him a call, he won't bite.. much

He also posts here so maybe he'll see this and pick up on it.

You are better off mentioning the budget you have in mind. Good quality material is a pretty vague statement as the benchmark for good differs vastly from one to another.

Go with Jeremy Tok. Let me know if you need his contact. You can look at his work by goggling him or he post quite regularly in thekerbau.com

By appointment, I suggest you meet up with him for a chat, there is no obligation to outright purchase one.

It should be around 1.6k for a set of suit and pants.

He posts here as well, but not as active under kotmj ..

Congratulations, hope you give him enough of a challenge in making your suit

His online persona can be seen as quite froward and brash, so he can come off as off putting to some, but I think it's nice that he doesn't beat around the bush!

Wear a nice watch, he'll take note of that as well

I'm sure he'll be inspecting it as well

Oh, you done the measurement already? The second fitting you can take pics

Try your lifestyle mall, ie Robinson, Isetan, Tangs, heck even Aeon...they have in-house brands that is decent and price wise cheaper.

Go ebay / ali and get stormtroopers for all your best man and darth for yourself

But I didn't realise Royal Selangor does cufflinks, need to pay them a visit sometime then...

You are better off checking out those RTW from G2000, Zara and such..

A standard decent tailored suit starts from 1.2k and above..

2.2k is not exactly cheap, but not bad to be honest..
