Its Yaohan

There is a tailor there. I believe the name of the tailor is "Hawaii Tailor". Just beside "video ezy", directly opposite DBS bank.

Hmmm how's the workmanship over at Hawaii? I rmb there are a few tailor shop there.

BTW I'm new to this and never tailored a shirt or pants before.

What do you look out for when tailoring?

In terms of details, it depends on what you are looking for. But in general, the main reason why you would want to tailor clothes is to get clothes that fit you well, instead of trying to fit well into the clothes.

It doesn't make a lot of sense to spend a hundred dollars on a shirt that neither fits you, nor match your fashion style.

Generically speaking, some signs of a good shirt are:

1) Patterns match at seams
2) Proper fit (no baggy sides or sleeves that are not long enough)
3) Comfortable

I've tailored a suit with them before and price wise, its a couple of hundred dollars cheaper than a suit of similar quality at some of the more established tailors.

They tailor shirts and pants as well but I think you can get cheaper shirt at tailors such as Newcastle as Spring Checker is basically a suit manufacturer.

My first and probably the last Oxford Tailor shirt. Finally collected.

dont bother with newcastle seriously. prices aren't cheap if you are just tailoring a piece. workmanship isn't any better than those peninsular tailors. if you guys think men's tradition is bad then stay away from newcastle.

I can't remember the material because the whole shirt took more than a month with all the cockups and service in particular I was not satisfied at all. No customer engagement at all.

Damage is 120, I didn't ask for fanciful buttons cause i like normal buttons(this one if look carefully also quite nice my phone is not DSLR).

It is the fit and the collar which will make the "boom" difference. I wanted the diamond-alike fabric and wanted to get the Oxford experience. In the end it is somewhr i will probably never recommend to anyone whom I know going for tailoring.

Conclusion: Peninsular tailors will be better. I will try CYC next.

You may want to visit this family-owned tailor shop called Marksmen. Their website is marksmen dot sg.
It is at Katong Shopping Centre. If workmanship and customer engagement is what you are looking for, this is the place.

Wow, all this while I thought the Singaporeans were more sophisitcated than us Malaysians. The conversation about shirts here is embarassingly Neanderthal.

On lowyat.net and now on thekerbau.com, people are ordering cut lengths of shirtings from Acorn in Cumbria and Thomas Mason. They are specifying non-fused collars and cuffs, high density stitching, and talk about sufficient back width for full range-of-motion and enough chest width to avoid the shirt showing too much of the contours of the body. Also the correct shoulder slope and tie space and such.

I am horrified at the shirts shown here. Godawful fabrics (are you wearing them to work or to a disco?), stupid contrast buttonholes, and what is this craze with lawn print on the collarbands?

A gentleman's shirt is always classic and understated. It is the opulence of the fabric and the just-so fit that elevates the wearer, not gaudy details.

Also, I find it astonishing that there is no mention here whatsoever of currently the best tiemaker & haberdasher in the region, based in Singapore. You people are wretchedly bad sartorialists. My Singaporean friend makes these throughbred ties by hand. He also sells the most desirable shirting mother of pearl buttons in the world. He's at vandafineclothing.com. I mean, dude, I'm Malaysian and I know this and while you people muck around with pathetic shirtmakers.

How about you show us some of your sophisticated, classic and understated shirts while you go around calling people pathetic?

If Singaporeans do not know your friend, it just means that your friend is not desirable. Period.
