MTM Suit

[Davidklt]

Talk about suits, I once tried a tailor in Shanghai, sorta for fun. The suit costs me only 700 RMB only which is less the SGD150. The material aside, I was surprised. The workmanship I found was even better than some of the top tailors here. Compare to my other suits which cost much more, that is still my fav suit.

Can pm me the details of this otel tailor or share it here with us? :->

 

 

U mean BKK otel?

 

It's Amari Watergate, 2nd floor( Operated by a sikh family ) & Centara Grand Otel, ( behind WTC ) the tailor is perched on mid-level together with reception check-in counter, it at the right corner, only tailor shop with one travel agency.

 

Pricing wise, only a little more, good quality and workmanship, U get real value.

 

p/s: assuming a 3 days stay in BKK< once check-in, take a good shower and go to my tailor shop, choose material, design and cutting, they take measurement and ask U to come back tmr and try-on ' fit ' , till U are satisfied, once firm they will deliver to oyur otel room.

 

For 1st timer, a small deposit is required, full payment upon delivery.

 

I make half a dozen shirts/pants, 1-2 suits@ one go, ( last me 20-26 months ) the cycle continues . . .

Yeah Shanghai is pretty good value too, U can have all brand label to be included as well, Dunhill, Ferragamo, Zenga, they go it.

 

But they usually used wool for their weather here, here a little too hot under the collar.

Going up next yr march. will check it out !!

bkk i normally go to this tailor called Crowns. located at sukhumvit area.

 

nt exactly cheap by Bkk standard but he's quite well recommended by many forums.

 

used him a couple of times. very satisfied with his work. so far his material all last quite long and the fit is just perfect.

Tried both Personality and dreamland. Not too bad but both are not to my liking.

Personality is more modern style and Dreamland is old style.

Both not my style

Men's Tradition is the worst of the three.

 

I wont recommend any becos it's personal.

 

however Oxford at OUB does quite a good job.

 

Yes i recommend Oxford too. The young boss Alex is fashionable and is very aware of the latest trends.

Testing testing.... Hotel hotel... why all the "hotel" words become "otel"... seen this in other threads too.

i once do some shirts with Oxford, price abit ex but one of the best shirt i ever tailor..

 

i think they still sew their own orders... a lot of so call tailor shops actually sub out their orders to some unknown places.. some even say batam..

European called it Otel instead of Hotel, kinda w/o pronouncing the 'H'

Even if they pronounce it otel, don't think they spell it this way right? For a moment i thought the forum banned the word or something.

there is one at The Cathay, Marcelle or what forget the name already, same level as Aston, the price is reasonable for a tailor making a suit
