A halfway decent but dirt cheap half canvassed polywool 2 piece suit will set you back about $500. For your requirements, $1k wouldn't cut it.if go oxford and make 2 standard 3 piece suit for wedding. will be above 1k sgd?
no clue, honestlyIs igent still a thing in a covid wfh world, espec in sg?
Man I haven't worn a shirt, trouser, GYW shoe combo since COVID. It doesn't seem like I'll start when I return to office either. I have literal stacks of new shirts and trousers that I havent opened either. Sucks.no clue, honestly
but - given the resurgence of interest in watches (as in strictly superfluous, outrageously priced, but damn desirable mechanical watches, not fitness trackers masquerading as timepieces) even among the young, the tilt back to office working (at least in places like NYC etc.) and the fact that men are peacocks as much as women love their clothes - I think tailoring will never really die. It will probably evolve though, if it hasn't already - I guess the trend nowadays is for very unconstructed pieces in highly breathable, wrinkly fabrics (i.e. linen) - suits for the "street"/ instagram rather than the office - though I'm getting too old to be talking about "trends"
And many men will need a suit at least once in their lives - as a groom/ groomsman, if nothing else - so it would be a truly sad day when there aren't any "proper", average/ mid-tier tailors left in Sg to make suits for the man in the street - high SES folks can always make a few weekend trips to Italy/ Savile Row/ Cifonelli etc
Damn - sucks man.Man I haven't worn a shirt, trouser, GYW shoe combo since COVID. It doesn't seem like I'll start when I return to office either. I have literal stacks of new shirts and trousers that I havent opened either. Sucks.
On the bright side I have no need to go CNY shopping anymore haha.Damn - sucks man.
It's not exorbitant, especially if you're satisfied with the end product!Paid $28 for pants and $25 for shirt alteration. Pants hemming and slight tapering, shirt shortening and slight slimming in the arms. Is the price reasonable?
Depends on your budget.i need to tailored mades work wear, shirt and pants? Any tailor to recommend to make shirt and pants?
Does anyone have any recommendations for casual linen mandarin collar shirts and linen pants? Those like at muji but thicker such that you can’t see through. Not so much for work but more for dressed up weekends. Been looking at Assemble which is the style I’m envisioning but not sure about the quality/bang for buck.
Do all the tailors have linen fabrics similar to the style of Assemble? I found one similar one from este bartin () and it’s from their cotton linen series.
Happy to hear recommendations for a budget around $130 per shirt/pants maximum. TIA!
