that is a very good deal! means around $15 right? that's crazy... altering it for a better fit will cost maybe another $10. I can see why you would want to buy from Taobao instead

I went Lai En 2 months back. First time tailoring with them. I feel they sort of assume everyone is going for the slim fit tight until body is gonna burst style. Even then, I felt in terms of workmanship, some portions are tight/fitting, some parts are loose.

Overall, the experience is just... okay

I went 1st time to LaiEn in Apr also, opposite of your assumption, i asked to taper mine instead XD. Yeah for the quality/price i couldnt ask for more. Experience wise is okay (no negatives, normal), i was left to my own device to browse the material until i decided on the 5 white mats i wanted then the lady boss come in to measure me.

Lai En is so busy until totally no service liao. The aunties used to be very good and give you suggestions on the colors. Lately I decided not to tailor as mentioned above. I bought my top from Taobao at $15. They use 100% xinjiang cotton (probably cheapo cotton compared to Egyptian cotton). But I have no issue as it is cheap and feels better than the plastic materials used by G2000. For pants, this brand called HLA sells good quality pants at $20-30. The cutting is also rather slim cut so it gives that impression that it is fitting:. What I love is the material is slightly elastic so it kind of stretches and makes fitting more comfortable when needed.

Their 3 piece suit if on a discount cost just $80. lol! Really no horse run

If you’re looking for affordable shirts, a brand on tb called CULTUM is decent; their higher end products are sold under ACME CULTUM, can give them a try as well. I’m pretty satisfied with my purchases considering the price point.
