    Bespoke from Singapore (pic heavy!)

     Lai En made a few batches of shirts for me. Finish is okay and price is right, fit isn't great and they don't adapt well to necessary adjustments. Shirts are holding up pretty well, but the points of the collars seem to be blunting on a couple shirts. CSM made a couple shirts for me...

    A Sam (and David) Hober Tie Appreciation Thread

     I know Navy blue suits vary, but here's a pic of the #76 swatch with my suit for what it's worth. Not much contrast. Here's a few other swatches (Mac 121, 123, 128 and Oxt-7) that you might consider, the iPhone camera makes them look brighter, but they look good in real life.

    I bought these fabrics for a suit (top) and a sport coat (bottom) along with some lighter and darker horn buttons. Originally I was thinking darker buttons for the top and lighter for the bottom. Any thoughts on this choice?

    Please help!! Need to match girlfriends dress for wedding

    Buy one that you will be comfortable with wearing to many other weddings and other events in the upcoming years and one that's not so distinct that everyone will remember it. Remember that for the next wedding, your girlfriend will probably want to get another dress because she will not want to...

    Thanks, now I must admit that there are a few I didn't get, such as the wedding and regimental stripes, but it sure seems like ALL of them.

    Great looking tie Pink! Funny, I was just flipping through all the diamond weave swatches and there are some stunning choices.

     So many choices...now it occurs to me that you might have meant to just get all of the grenadines, not all of the swatches . I think I might be in trouble, so many beautiful swatches!

    The Watch Appreciation Thread (Reviews and Photos of Men's Timepieces by Rolex, Patek Philippe, Brei

    No, I left it behind to research it and the bracelet but I may go back for it later. Also checked another store in the same Mall that had a sweet JLC Master Control and IWC Portuguese, didn't get any pics though.

    The Watch Appreciation Thread (Reviews and Photos of Men's Timepieces by Rolex, Patek Philippe, Brei

    I searched for info on the bracelet for this Omega Seamaster Chrono 176.007 and it seems like finding an original replacement might be a challenge.

    [/IMG] This funky cool vintage Seamaster chrono caught my eye in a shop today. The strap is crap and too small, but I like this retro 70s look if I could find a strap with a good matching style. Apologies for the poor photo quality.

    Any advice on which swatch sets to get? Thinking I only need one grenadine weave set to understand the color options.

    Bespoke from Singapore (pic heavy!)

    I have been using Lai En for shirts, but they can't seem to get the shoulder bunching issue from my sloped shoulders sorted in the first fitting. Generally good quality but after four batches of shirts and several fittings until they get it passable, I've decided to search for another shirt...

    Shopping for shirting fabric at RSK, also bought some suit fabric upstairs at Kong Seng.

    Can a suit still have the natural shoulder look, while correcting/padding for uneven (thanks to previously broken collar bone) sloped shoulders?

    Bought a 2.7 meter end of roll piece of Scabal charcoal grey 100% superfine wool that was a 'bargain' price. Originally thought blazer, then I read about how hard this color blazer is to match and the risk of it looking like an orphan suit jacket. Should I just have a pair of trousers (takes...

    Jon here, just started following the forum in the last couple of weeks. Now that I'm iving and working in Singapore I've decided to explore the benefit/risk of access to many bespoke tailor shops as well as fabric suppliers. I'm just starting to build a collection of suits, after years of...
