@acidtrips did you find a decent tailor for smart-casual chinos in the end? Do share if you've found a gem!

Hi! I’ll be entering the workforce soon and I’m looking for trousers (slim fit/skinny fit) with elastane, any tailor to recommend, budget <150

ah. No not yet unfortunately. Maybe in the future? Looking at assemble and a couple others and contemplating.

 

[wacks_505]

Sure. I might pop by a more budget option like Lai En or Este Bartin to commission a simple pair of chinos. I'll update the thread if I do so.

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!

Wa love the cutting!

May I know the cost of this?

Thanks!

Ah I see! Thanks! How did you manage to get a discount tho? Haha

Is Lai En still the go-to choice for value for money shirts? I recall reading reviews about workmanship deteriorating. There was another shop recommended for shirts - also in industrial area but can’t recall the name.

He runs discounts sometimes for different occasions. I believe it was for Christmas when I got mine!

Probably too late to share..

Those who want alteration in Orchard can find a newly local shop in Lucky Plaza basement. Opened last year. Just behind 7-11. Reasonable pricing and fast. Very friendly aunties. =) Also have bespoke pants, shirts and suits.

Guys, any conments on SuitYourself? wanna try their service...

 

[elvintay07]

Guys, I understand we can tailor pants without belt loops (using some draw strings to tighten). I wonder whether that method is reliable? Heard sometimes the metal buckles will break. Then will the pants become very loose?

 

[DriftKing]

Any recommendations for tailored to even off the shelf non iron or easy iron shirts? I've been running exclusive Uniqlo ones.. getting bored

Side adjusters are mainly for aesthetics as there is only so much you can tighten the waistband. Plus, tailored pants should be fitted to your waist anyway. You can also seek a replacement for the buckles, usually at no cost.

Won't speak about the make but I think they make aesthetically pleasing suits.

why can't speak about their make?
