Where to tailor clothes =D

[bigtaste]

You're essentially asking for a redraft because they got your measurements wrong, right. You're talking about taking in the upper back maybe a couple inches, plus you'd need to shrink the armhole to balance (and consequently, I would imagine the upper sleeve width too). Sounds like you need a new set of measurements, I doubt a quick fix will solve all this.

Re OCBD collar roll and Dylan - I just did a new set of shirts with him. I've been pressing him for more pronounced, BB-style collars for some time now. Suddenly he decided to go for it, and the results are pretty damned good. I prefer the points slightly longer for more oomph, but they're already quite pronounced and anyone who appreciates BB should be happy with these.

You have any photos to share?

I posted this info in another thread, but Kent Wang offers great value on cufflinks and tie bars. As per Kent Wang's quality, the cufflinks I ordered were beautiful in every way. Also 5 usd shipping (2 weeks) so he gets my highest recs.

They have nice and simple pocket squares too. I like their enamel and MOP cufflinks, but can't justify to hoot them since I seldom need them.

Don't forget our local Vanda Fine Clothing, support local business.

If a bit of tie being shown under the first button of the jacket, is it ok? Even when standing straight?

I believe its ok. From what I know the tie should touch the top of the belt buckle as in the picture which is correct.

Hi, just a quick question.

Any place to recommend for alteration of blazers? I need to alter my sleeves and maybe the length of it. Bought it off the shelf.

Also, such alterations average cost how much?

Thanks in advance. Cheers.

I am not too tall so the tie usually will touch the tip of the belt, show or not depend on your jacket button position. Doesn't bother me at all.

CT used to be at Vivocity in 2010 but closed down. (Should be the Ecco store now) Bought from them before. Have been ordering online with them for the past 2 years cause they have this free shipping thingy once a year.

Raoul is ripoff?

Vanda is pricey leh. Sgd 45-60 for pocket squares and sgd 125-155 for ties. difficult to support local.

Based on what I saw on the episode on tv, the stuff paraded by Finespun Clothiers is ahem terrible.

From the TV programme, Finespun Clothiers say its shirts start from $240 and suits start from $1,800.

No wonder 60% of its clients are ang moh.
Chop carrot prices.

I don't own Vanda, but friends that do swear by their quality. These friends can also afford C&J shoes and IWCs. So haha I guess it caters to a more well-off clientele.

Ditto if buy from same quality artisans like Sam Hobber, price is about the same plus shipping, unless order in bulk. They are quite well known internationally for their quality.
