Petulance is a central part of the strategy.
Great way to spoil Gerald's reputation.

you mean your shop? what's the price of a basic long sleeve shirt? can you do a flat felled seam for the side of the shirt? please enlighten us.
I have a whole bunch of polo shirts I rather like because they are comfortable, but unfortunately are a bit too long.
Anyone got advice where to get them shortened and how much that would be? (they were not that expensive to begin with.. mostly Ashworth and such)
Wow, all this while I thought the Singaporeans were more sophisitcated than us Malaysians. The conversation about shirts here is embarassingly Neanderthal.
On lowyat.net and now on thekerbau.com, people are ordering cut lengths of shirtings from Acorn in Cumbria and Thomas Mason. They are specifying non-fused collars and cuffs, high density stitching, and talk about sufficient back width for full range-of-motion and enough chest width to avoid the shirt showing too much of the contours of the body. Also the correct shoulder slope and tie space and such.
I am horrified at the shirts shown here. Godawful fabrics (are you wearing them to work or to a disco?), stupid contrast buttonholes, and what is this craze with lawn print on the collarbands?
A gentleman's shirt is always classic and understated. It is the opulence of the fabric and the just-so fit that elevates the wearer, not gaudy details.
Also, I find it astonishing that there is no mention here whatsoever of currently the best tiemaker & haberdasher in the region, based in Singapore. You people are wretchedly bad sartorialists. My Singaporean friend makes these throughbred ties by hand. He also sells the most desirable shirting mother of pearl buttons in the world. He's at vandafineclothing.com. I mean, dude, I'm Malaysian and I know this and while you people muck around with pathetic shirtmakers.
You are correct on bolded and underlined part.
This for the rest.
Very expressive
Paul Fashion coming to Singapore next month.

Bro pls PM me details. TIA!
Dude, I'm not sure if you've been traumatized during your childhood in Singapore or your Singaporean girlfriend or wife dumped you.
Also I can't see what Gerald or D could've done to deserve this kind of sabotage.
But you are right that Malaysians are superior. You have Hermes Man on your side.
