Where to tailor clothes =D

[biodraft]

shirt sleeve too long and baggy.

 

[lambert]

u should bring the shirts back to the tailor ask them to alter
peninsular has many tailors and it's only a few busstops away

any good & affordable tailor in peninsular??

 

[kazuki666]

There are quite a few there.

I think shops like:
Men Traditional
Tessutti
Personality

At least these are the few we heard of in this thread.
I done a long sleeve shirt in of the shops there before at $90. Looking to try a different tailor there to test water Get it for cny.
Then there is also eyptian cotton which will easily cost u $160 for start...


And if u feel slightly rich, can try CYC. But heard they are not cheap...
But they are famous with the "men in white".

of the 4 tailors mentioned, Men's Tradition carries the lowest range of fabric thus starting prices are cheapest there
Tessuti and Personality and Oxford price range are about the same i think... ~90 upwards
CYC(raffles hotel) and Joe's tailoring(fuji xerox towers) prices start even higher

The guy? soso only lah. But his shirt looks quite ok lor, at least the cutting falls nicely on him.

he said he got ard $60 from this shop dreamland leh.
But the usual pricings in peninsula is ard $90 for shirts...

i thought he said $80...
pricing wise... really depends on the type of fabric lor
just because a tailor prices start from $50 does not mean it's much cheaper than a tailor who starts at $100

flora prints i think tessuti has a few... not sure if wide variety though
i think most tailors probably have limited floral print fabrics

nice
maybe u can post some pics of yourself in the shirts
while we won't be able to tell the quality of the fabric and workmanship, we can see hows the fitting like

actually... i find that compliments depend on your office environment too.
if your colleagues are all decked out in ill-fitting or boring or cheap looking clothes, anything out of the norm will receive compliments

Probably, me has poor memories...

nono, i wasnt saying any tailors are cheap or what.

Just that when i walked ard at peninsula, the lowest quote i got was $90. I didnt get any in $50s or $60s...

Heh will try and set up something but generally -

Shoulders and neck fit very snugly. Just nice for buttoning and adding a tie. I used to buy clothes size 16.5 but the collar was always a bit tight, but if I buy larger size it will be damn baggy. The tailor (Mr. Anthony) advised that for my build, my neck size is actually 16 3/4 or even 17 but body size is more suited to size 16. So I guess tailoring is good for me. I also quite like the fit of the shirt on my body.

The sleeves are a bit long though. I conduct a choir so I requested longer, looser sleeves to have more range of movement for my arms - I tend to move quite vigorously. Unfortunately the sleeves came out a teensy bit too long such that it kind of bunches up. Might go back and ask him to shorten the sleeves slightly - I understand that that's quite easy to do.
