Bespoke in Singapore: introducing Kevin Seah and Edwin Neo

Re: Dinner suit CMT...does it cost double of a regular suit?
Thanks for the responses. I guess, there is no need to veil the tailors' names under cover. We are here to learn from each other.

thanks Doug...yes, this suit that I am being offered is vintage. The pictures look ok, but I am not sure...and I am not about to bespeak a morning suit anytime soon...considering that I will probably never get to wear it...maybe at my son's wedding...he is only 15 this year, so that may be some time...

Just look at what he is wearing...chalk (?) stripe SB coat with jeans, black tie, and a garish red pocket square. Listen to what he is saying, and I agree with every single word. Look at him...um...just look.

Request for pattern: formal waistcoats

I would agree with you Pelham...the length is good. Any longer, and the break would spoil the nice line of the trousers. but the trousers seem a tad short. They would benefit considerably from a little more break. I'd be very interested to know if other members agree with that comment. It seems to m...
