i also not sure the name..when u go tailor just ask for a selection of cuff..i am sure most shops have a range u can choose from

@xrenol

yep...sharp eyes!!!lol..this is my first tailored shirt..really quite tight..its touching my belly when i am standing..sitting down even worse lazy to go "expand" more even tho the tailor told me can..coz i actually waited 2week+ for this shirt due to some miscomm between them..

Can anyone recommend a good tailor for a 100% wool fused suit?

Stuff from Dylan and Iris(Iris does fully canvased) looks good but I'm priced out. So i have to settle for a normal fused 1.

Heard good things of Sze sze but I'm really sceptical of a tailor who can produce a suit with just 1 fitting.

I also experienced the same problem with my first tailored shirt but probably not as bad as yours.

What collar design is this? it has a white tip on it, can anyone identify?
I want to specify this to the tailor to make
Typically how much will the tailor additional charge for this?

I like this !

Went down today to make 3 pairs of pants at Xin En.

Friendly service and reasonable prices. They were the 3 for $100 or $150 packages as mentioned from previous posters. You could also mix and match the different qualities (I got 1 from the 3 for $100 range and 2 from the $150 range; total cost: $133). Decent amount of fabrics to choose from.

Measurements taken were comprehensive(waist, thighs, crotch, etc.) and additional requests such as an extra compartment for a phone and belt width were asked.

Overall, price is exceptionally reasonable compared to buying off-the-rack and not forgetting that these are tailored! But of course, the real verdict comes 2 weeks later (told him I wasn't in a hurry)

sorry wahkao..missed this post
RG charge $5 for each additional detail..think newcastle charge $10

1 detail means both collar or just 1 collar?

is slim cut considered a detail?
is curved back (for nicer tuck out) consider a detail?
French cuff considered a detail?

personally i think newcastle sucks, at least for the zion road one. The uncle and auntie speak mainly mandarin so its a bit hard to specify some details especially to the auntie. fitting was totally fked up the first time. in fact they made my shirt 3 times. the fact that they immediately agree to make you a new shirt upon expressing your displeasure is probably the only good thing. their slim fitting is only slim at the chest and waist. sleeves are baggy. workmanship is really like any other peninsular tailor with slight errors such as dissymmetry cuts seemingly a norm. lastly their pricing is a bit inconsistent. seems like its to the discretion of the uncle and auntie.

Anyone can share where can I tailor shirts and pants with prices around $50~$60 for shirts?

Thanks!

I'm sorry, but the fit doesn't look too good. Kinda tight under the arm pits.

Google for Brazil Tailor. They specialise in suits.
