Just so happens I'm wearing a pair of Sze Sze pants today. Hand-shanked buttons and hand-stitched button holes if the sort of thing floats your boat. All for under $100.

I'd still use Sze Sze as a budget pants tailor even if my pants didn't have those features.

the fit of the trousers is what floats my boat! =D

ps; Sorry, i not some sartorial pro, hand-shanked buttons and hand-stitched button holes dont really matter to me. Can trouble you to show the fit pic of the pants??

Search my previous posts lah. I've posted it before. I don't have a convenient full length mirror to take pictures.

Can I ask what about Sze Sze do you not like?

Wonder which tailors ministers fancy. Noticed Dr Balakrishnan had a pretty nice collar roll on his BD shirt

Hi all, I've just my suit from Matt :D
Some puckering at the back, but overall I'm liking it very much.

My first impression too was that the buttonholes didn't look hand sewn. Maybe because it looks almost exactly like the ones on my sze sze suit and Mr Ong once told me before that everything on my suit from buttonholes, lapel hole to pick stitching are machine made.

But if you indeed saw Mr Ong do it by hand then kudos. :)

The pants actually came without a buttonhole+button and I very nearly brought it home. He rectified it on the spot which could explain why.

Very nice. You may have mentioned before but where was it made? Tapered look yet doesn't look like 2xu compression pants.

This pair was made by Raphael Gabriel, but I have to give credit to Matt first and foremost, as they had Matt's pants to copy off.
