Where to tailor clothes =D - Part 3

[StrawberryChris]

Did it feel tight when you tried it on before washing?

It did not feel as tight before washing. It's tight to the extend where I have issue using keyboard to type.

Also, is it normal/fine that I can see my nipple through the shirt all the time?

Sometimes it can be due to your perception as well. or eat too much before/after fitting etc.
There is also a possibility of shrinkage. Bring back to your tailor to match against your measurements.

Depends on how big your nipples are i guess?

Is it even possible to make the shirt "bigger"?

Not big at all but it's showing 24/7 thru the shirts I made

Yes and no, depending on how much spare fabric the tailor has left in the seams. Go talk to your tailor.

Hello just a question guys.
Recently made two shirt but after washing, both seems to feel rather tight.

I'm very new to such stuff but how tight is too tight?

Right now when I take a deep breath, my chest part feels pretty tight.

Under my armpit there's almost no cloth to grab. Therefore I'm almost not able to raise my arm.

I do have 30days to go back and they will alter for me.

The way u phrase i already know your shirts too tight already, wont look like tailored. People might think you buy OTR because not fitted to yur body leh.

Cannot breathe and cannot raise arms already affecting your daily activities already. Maybe in future tell the tailor dont make so fitted.

If you are uncomfortable in the shirts it means it is too tight. A well fitted shirt will look good and feel comfortable

Some creases on the shirt. Is it too loose or must it be fitted such that there are no creases on the shirt? My tailor said if want more movement, there are bound to be creases. It feel comfortable just that dont look that fitted.

I actually checked Seamless Bespoke last weekend, didn't come prepared and was a bit lost during the first appointment, so i'm going around checking off the rack suits to get some idea and saw the BB Tailors. Anyway will check your recommendations.

In general, is it better to start with shirts and trousers first before proceeding to jackets or suits? I'm thinking of the following reasons:
1. Shirts and trousers have fewer details and are less overwhelming.
2. Shirts and trousers are far cheaper and hence mistakes due to miscommunication are less costly.
3. Some of the knowledge you learn from shirts and trousers transfers directly over to jackets/suits such as fabric and trousers fit.
4. You can first build some rapport with the tailor and also feel a little more comfortable with the shop environment. Also, in the meantime you can start asking for tips on possible jackets or suits you want to make in future without feeling awkward for asking questions and not actually making a jacket/suit since you are already a customer.

My view is there should not be “creases” if you have both arms by your side.

Err... I think he is trying to smoke you... but the price point does matter. How much did you pay for it ?

Probably you are right. Its just a cheap tailored shirt. Maybe its the workmanship.

Who is your tailor. He's a hack who obviously doesn't know anything about fitting. Warn us so we will not visit him please.

This "crease" is likely due to your shoulder sloping differently from what the shirt was cut for.

Hi all! Would like to get some opinions from you guys. I'm looking to make my first proper suit as a milestone of sorts after completing my studies. I am sure you guys have heard it over and over again and I am no different. Looking to have a suit made that can be worn for multiple occasions (grad ceremony, job interview/work and maybe the odd wedding).

As you would expect, I do not have the biggest budget (basically entry level pricing like sub $500). I've basically narrowed it down to two tailors. I am thinking of going to either Sze Sze or ethan men. Which of the two would you recommend going to? I'm open to other suggestions as well.

Do check out Red Dot Bespoke.

The person there couldnt even properly explain the fabric and processes to me...still include “bespoke” in the name.

 

[Carnage]

If u want something extremely good quality recommend Ermenegildo Zegna: they have bespoke service. Think starts at 5k upto 20k++

I think it's MTM only.

The person measuring you isn't the cutter as well.

I think the most important question would be if you even needed a suit. Don't waste money lah.

Well, I know I mentioned job interviews but currently I am working. Been caught being under dressed for networking sessions in the past couple of months. My sister is getting married in November as well so I thought of getting a versatile suit for different occasions.

So yep, don’t think it’s a waste of money.

So far, the only time i have worn a suit for an interview was when I flew to Geneva for one.

I do not even expect candidates to put on one these days. I must be moving in odd circles.

A wedding is a good reason for a suit.

All the best for the interviews anyway.

What kind of networking sessions are you attending and what were you wearing? I would think that a nice crisp shirt, tie and pants would be sufficient for most networking sessions.

You can probably get an odd jacket instead if you don't require a full suit. Look at off the shelf jackets 1st. Tailor only if you can't find anything that would fit you.

If you are looking to be presentable, get it done right. You get what you paid for.
