I think I saw your skull lining jacket. It's too bad that the suiting fabric has to be from the same brand too...

Oh? lol ok - yea i had to pay $ for the lining and imo its worth it plus according to TGT the skull is out of stock atm.

any sponsorship from you for December dinner?

See 1st

damage for your suit and shirts?

I dont even want to think about it - cos i busted my budget for the suit, guess in excess of 1.5 for all

Cheers

i think their shirts start from 75. but the fabrics are quite limited. the 100 range would be more decent.

I paid for my lining too. Got VBC Cupro for my full-canvassed H&S suit. XD

Which book from H&S?

Inter-city (Bunch HS 1260). A 370g 100% worsted in jet black.

First time tailoring a suit and I wanted it to be the classic and durable "10 month" sort that I won't mind wearing with little rotation.

Almost the same as cyc... considering which one to invest my money in. cos its time for my bulk purchase again.

Anyone here weight trains and has issues with fitting into your tailored wares?

always too tight around the thighs and lats area.

 

[vcrpex]

by right if it is tailored, they shud accomodate to your body shape. or either that you are putting on more mass after you get ur tailored clothes, thus the tighter fit. maybe you generally choose a tighter fit from beginning, but with weight training, you are outgrowing ur clothes. the pants part can be quite tricky, coz if you do abit loose, it is not as nice. but if just nice, after a good squat workout, u regret not doing looser.

Ya that's the problem. Too loose not nice, after squat too tight.

And putting on mass gradually seems unavoidable, even though I focus on putting on slowly while trying to lean out these days.

Sucks to be spending so much tailoring but fit is a problem for people like me who weight train.

Ever since I started my tailoring journey I laid off weights and just used my body weight.

Still bulked up though and got scolded by my tailor.



So I feel you bro.

Lol.

I am banking on having forward pleats, cuffs and to lean more towards a straight cut for next pair of trousers to see if I can get a good compromise in my situation.

Kiton bro, have you seen my PM?

i heng ah.. sibeh inefficient at weights... train v long minimal growth.. =__= now dont need to go tailor again old shirts still can wear juz abit more fitting nia

Received my soktas fastforward shirts from TGT, no alterations needed as good as it gets

Now pending the suit, blazer fits pretty well and the skull lining is pretty dope as well pants was absolutely spot on, just a quick alteration needed for the length and will be good to collect soon

Overall a very good experience with the double A team, they have been pretty accomodating with my "layman terms" requests. Hope they will keep the prices competitve and i am sure i will be back for more in the near future

Cheers

straight cut pants is definitely out for me. usually it is taper down below the knee. For the top it is usually not so much a problem since most guys who weight train like a tight fitting top so long not to the extent of bursting the top or ur movement is restricted. my former tailor even ask me not to deadlift so much, say my shoulder will be more slanted down even more. Thus i change tailor in the end.

Question: For 3 sets of shirts and pants, made of wrinkle-free material (but not polyester), where should I go for a generally good fit and lower price?

I'm mainly just particular about two fit issues - shoulder incline and excess cloth at collar at nape of neck.

wrinkle free fabrics are mostly cotton and polyester blend. cotton itself creases. the very best you can probably get are those 'easy iron' ones where they coat the cotton will something. but note these fabrics do crease a little. also correct me if i'm wrong but the threadcount and weaving of the fabric contributes as well.

anyway i had a so called 100% cotton wrinkle free shirt made from dezenno uomo. yes the shirt doesn't crease. in fact even after ironing, the lines will fade after 5 mins. but the fabric looks very shiny (probably due to the coating) and looked a bit like silk.

Wrinkle-free finish comes from a resin that releases formaldehyde, the chemical that is usually associated with embalming fluids or dissected frogs in biology class.

So for those of you who have sensitive skin, but still want a wrinkle-free shirt, do consider washing them once or twice before wearing them.
