hi guys. I need some suggestion and advice.

I wear suits regularly (3 days a week) and most of my suits are OTR and I guess after 5 years donning the same ill-fitted suits, it is time to change the game.

Now, I think I've read enough about the capability of Malaysian tailors when it comes to suit tailoring. I don't mean to sound degrading but from what I gather through reading extensively from this board and SF, the pool is quite pathetic. The only acceptable tailor that fits my need and budget is Ah Loke, even that micro-managing is needed.

Granted, no first tailored suit is perfect and I understand that, but as someone who is not well-verse with the technicality of suitmaking, I don't want to invest in a custom made suit with my hard-earned money only to be disappointed with the outcome.

Now I have two option, either I stick with the traditional brick & mortar tailoring, settled with the house-cut and pray that it will turn out to be okay or go for one of the abundant online MTM service like Indochino and Black Lapel...

Any good advice and suggestion are appreciated

I'm no expert as I still use my graduation suit when the need arises(once a year? maybe every 2 years?).

But if I was in the market for a bespoke suit, Jeremy Tok(aka kotmj) would be my first choice.
