Hi, I am looking for a suit for my wedding end of the year, december. Most probably looking for a tailored one since I can use the suit for a long time.
I had a few recommendations from friends, but just asking here to see any other recommendations. Budget maybe below RM2k for a full set? Anyone heard from Ron Ng Tailor? A review: http://ruecardengineer.blogspot.com/2014/0...uit-ron-ng.html And got ppl recommend me Wardrobe and Bespoke from 1U (but I think these 2 are over my budget) Thanks in advance.  And I just saw Star2.com show Lord's tailor: http://www.star2.com/style/men/2015/07/30/...eams-come-true/ |

QUOTE(jutamind @ Aug 17 2015, 02:23 PM) so how much is the damage? Basic 2-piece is RM1600, but I opted for a vest to make it a 3-piece (+RM500), and opted for a special patterned blue/gold lining (+RM150), amount up to RM2250.QUOTE(deriku @ Aug 17 2015, 02:57 PM) Quite the opposite of his online persona huh Haha, I am not really familiar with his online persona, as you can see I usually hang around in the Android geeky section.   Plus this is my first ever bespoke. |

QUOTE(fuzzy @ Aug 17 2015, 11:48 PM) Congratulations, hope you give him enough of a challenge in making your suit Haha, I think mine was really common & basic...so not much of a challenge I think. 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! |

QUOTE(ocyrus @ Sep 14 2015, 02:58 PM) Would love to see the photos from your fitting session Haha, didn't manage to take any photos.  But it was quite a simple session, he just put pins to adjust the waist area, and also the trousers. Overall took only half an hour. |

QUOTE(fuzzy @ Feb 5 2016, 05:00 PM) I never took any picture of the two pieces I done with him, so I can't show off here Haha I don't exactly have a pic of myself in it too. .. zhou86 and shauno had pieces done from him, they might have some pictures. Of course, his tumblr showcases a few items as well: http://jeremytok.tumblr.com/He is detailed and fussy about his work, which I liked because I have seen him just redo a part because he felt there was a small part that didn't sit right. Secondly, he is very open to ideas and suggestions but is not 'kedekut' in sharing what he knows. Finally, he doesn't do hard sell and is pretty transparent in his dealings, which I always appreciate. My first piece with him, I had zero idea what I wanted, he guided me and explained to me the differences between all the options available and the reasoning behind certain choices.. so for my second, I had a much better clue about what i had in mind.. what are you going for? p/s: hmm.. maybe I should take some pictures |
