just walk into any tailor's shop and see how the tailor himself is dressed. if you approve, then make 1 test pair.
a long time ago i made the mistake of going to a really old tailor who was dressed like it was the 80s. he made me what must be the baggiest suit ever.
of course there are old tailors who dress in clothes that look like they were made in the 80s but can make really nice stuff, but without a recommendation it is going to be hard for you to find this out.

QUOTE(MeToo @ Mar 9 2012, 11:32 AM) I'm sorry to say this, but the fault is not solely with the tailor. There are fitting sessions, there are dialogues with the tailor on what you want etc. If the workmanship is bad, then its probably the tailor's lack of skill. But generally I notice the majority of those going for a "bespoke" shirt/suit dont really know what they want, or lack the skills to communicate it effectively to the tailor. If that is the case... pls find a VERY good tailor who can read your mind  i didn't go to a bespoke tailor. i was a young college kid who went to spark manshop. i told the tailor repeatedly that the suit was way too baggy but he insisted that it is impossible to slim down more. good thing spark manshop offers free alterations for life. i have taken it back to 2 different branches to have it slimmed down more, and now it is slightly more wearable. |

They do have a big showroom with extensive samples etc... i find their branch in pavilion SEVERELY lacking... the only plus was that there is a pretty hot lookign girl workign there.. wow that is interesting. how is the rm220 for shirts for workmanship alone? |

tom ford should model his suits on really skinny dudes with big tummies, so that we know what we would look like in them.
