MTM in Malaysia

[Shraka]

I'm going to Malaysia at the end of the year, and am hoping to pick up some bespoke or MTM suits while I'm there. My question is, how much am I looking for MTM or Bespoke in Malaysia? Does anyone have any recommendations on where to go? I'll also be going to Singapore for a day trip so if I'll be better off getting stuff there, give me some suggestions.

Hrm, nobody?

Wow, nobody has advice on where to go for suits in Malaysia? None at all?

Thank you! Finally someone with some advice.

No posts (but 1) should tell you something. While in KL, I would visit Shyam for C&J shoes and hold off on MTM clothes until a weekend excursion to Bangkok or HK. Air Asia has very cheap flights from KL to both cities as well as Singapore. Now, if you need a tailor in Bangkok or HK, you will get plenty of posts!

+1 on P.Lal. Do a search here, a member a few months back did a post with pictures of his KL trip, including a visit to Shyam's store.

There's a tailor in Parkson Grand at KLCC - looks to be some sort of concession or something - they do MTM shirts and suits - they had prices for non-fused suits. No idea if they are any good (didn't have time to try them out) and I can't remember what they were called. Prices were pretty cheap - canvassed suits from AUD$900+ if I recall and they had some nice swatches.

Yeah I was starting to think that. I'm going for a day trip to Singapore! So suggest away!

Hrm, perhaps I should have included a price range. I know $900AUD is cheap, but it's still outside my price range. I'm hoping for more like $300-500. Am I likely to find anything that's not dreadful for this price?

I wish my earning power was strong enough to go for $900+ suits, but it's not. Hell I wish I could go for Bespoke but I think that is well outside what I'm willing to pay for cloths.
