They actually have 2 factories in Italy and Switzerland. The last time I remember, both the factories were near the border of Italy and Switzerland so the "Made in Italy" or "Made in Switzerland" tag depends on where the garment was finished at.

MTM is going to cost you more, after all it is made upon your measurements.

I belched at the cost though. 6k for a suit! :s13:

I did. Bought 5~6pieces from them during sale. I must be crazy when I bought it cos was kind of stress out so did not make a good choice.

I will say that the materials are good. However, due to ready made sizing, so may not fit properly. All my friend commented that the shirt was too big for me...... my fault.....

However, when I bring the shirt to those market auntie to help me make it more fitting, their comment is that their workmanship is not that great. They even showed it to me.....

The thing is, I had my sleeve altered by T.M. Lewin people. Since I need the market auntie to help me make it more fitting, the sleeve will end up even shorter so the auntie need to try and help me lengthen the sleeve. It could have been possible if not for the poor workmanship of T.M. Lewin. When they trimmed off the excess stuff, they did not do it with a clean cut. It is like kids starting to learn how to use scissor.

So, if u have the money, go ahead. They really have nice colour/design there. If you intend to ask them to do any alteration for u, I think it is better to go other places. Also, after giving some thought, I think it is better to go CYC instead if you are willing to spend 100+/shirt (after discount at Lewin). Just my opinion though. =:p

Bought a few shirts from them. The slim cut and fitted are better for the body, if you have a good body to show. Highly recommend that you buy online once you have got the correct sizes as it is much much cheaper.

Oh, perhaps it's just my shirt, but they do crumple very easily!

Thanks bros. Think I'm just gonna stick with CYC.

Any high-range tailors around do three-piece suits? Looking to get one done before November starts.

You should try going to Aston blake over at milennia walk. they have beautiful very high quality fabrics and suit workmanship is top notch. They have instore stylist to talk about your suit in detail.

i SAY FORGET ABOUT ASTON BLAKE! Pimabs, clothesmith or Kingsmen are far better. Even Oxford in OUB centre ranks higher than ASTON BLAKE.

Try Grand City at Ubi. About $50. My friend did it there. I seen, quite fitting so workmanship is not a problem. My friend comment that quite durable. At $50, I find it quite affordable.

I been reading quite a few post. Seem like pants tend to be exp. I am only looking for material like those from ZARA. Any chance of me getting those material and get it tailor at $80 to $100?

There are even lower one but quality not good and fitting also not good. If you compare to G2K, after discount about 30~40. So paying 50 for a tailor one I think quite ok. If you go to CYC all these places, it cost like $100.....

If you are worry, just do one piece first then see how it goes before deciding to get more.

Oh. If cost more then 50 dun blame me. I only got the quotation from my friend.

All this talk about workmanship from a 1 poster. Do you really know how a suit is made in the first place?

You got a job as a...waiter? :D
