Where to tailor clothes =D

[ThatShirtShop]

hehe~ thanks! but is really need dress shirt thats why asking here

For dress shirts, That Shirt Shop is doing it from $99 onward, depending on design (type of collars etc)

Most tailors would also be able to do it, but if you are wearing it for an event, then perhaps you might want to add some subtle details onto it. You can always drop by our shop and have a look at some of the designs we have.

Hi folks,
Any recommendations for somewhere to make 1-2 suits for my wedding? I plan to use the suits in the future during my client presentations so they won't be totally wasted but I don't want to overspend on it either as I won't wear it on a weekly basis at least.
I'm very slim so the suits at the wedding shops can't fit me at all
1.74m and 56kg
Thanks in advance

That Shirt Shop makes suit from $450 onward. coincidentally, I am making a suit for my wedding next year too.

I'm deciding between navy blue (good for all round usage), grey (wedding and maybe for office use, depending on shirt) or black (good for weddings, finance presentation or funerals).

On top of that, i am opting out of a tux, cause a tux requires contrasting lapel, which would look really weird for work.

Do you guys do alterations?

 

[ThatShirtShop]

Do you guys do alterations?

No. We normally refer our customers to our neighboring alteration shops, (only those of decent standard), for alteration.

 

[quekie12]

Maybe you can wear a black suit with peak lapels and single button?


Black tie events in Singapore are so rare to the extent that if you get a tux made, you'll be trying to force yourself to wear it to weddings or funerals just so it won't rot in the wardrobe

Would love to but no choice on this one. Luckly have a few weddings coming up so at least can put this to good use.

Been to Clancy before... Price is on the high side for alterations... But definitely worth the money spent for a very nice altered fit.

lol. Bro.. 7900 baht = S$316, implying S$79 per shirt. Isn't that the same price as in Singapore? Give you $10 bucks more per shirt for the inner collar design, also S$89.

I think thailand kanna Singapore-style inflation liao

probably quality better?
but if its the same... then
but i hardly see any places which charge about 80 for a custom made shirt. usually the ones i see is about 60-80 but quality is sub par... not up to standard...

Assuming its 100% cotton, there is the softer, smoother 1, which we sell from $99 onward, and a coarser one (due to lesser thread count) from $79 onward. The additional material for the inner collar, depending on the material, would cost $10-$15 more.

damn sexpensive, for bkk tailor

Haven't include a pair of pants la, chill. Shirts are 5900 baht. There's 3 different range. Even the most expensive (2200 baht) is cheaper than TSS's price at $99. I would gladly go back to BKK anytime because I believe SG service level can be good but very hard to rival our friendly neighbours.
