Thanks! Got this from quite a new store called Three Buttons. Got recommended there by my friend recently and commissioned a few pieces to try him out. Pretty pleased so far. Interestingly he pushes for unlined jackets which really shows off the finishing and makes the jacket really wearable in sg's weather!
Ah, Dylan - his work seems promising so far. One of few young folks that actually practice the craft. Obligatory shoutout to Alex from The Cutting Room as well. Promising lads.
400 dollars for the three items will be a stretch at Meiko and Rossi (probably the lowest end stuff), Dylan, assuming Dylan and Sons will be impossible. Your tight deadline is impossible too unless you can convince them otherwise.
My bad - I thought it was 600 dollars. Even then it is a stretch.
Very nice GPGT to get the thread rolling! Looking v spiffy!Wanted to get the ball rolling by sharing a recent commission I had with a relatively new tailor. Wanted a sports jacket that I could wear when I want to be slightly more dressed up. Decided on this Reda wool-linen fabric.
Any comments welcome!
For shirts, most would, even the local big names. They are usually outsourced as there is quite an investment to make, so most would refrain from doing so because it is so costly. In my opinion, the suits are where the value proposition is for local tailors given that most reputable tailors make them in-house.
Tailors typically don't do construction themselves. They measure, possibly draft and/or cut, and hand finish.
Alteration possible at the right price, assuming u alrd have the suit to be altered and nothing too major.. . Is like dhl express vs sea freight
