Hi,

Yup,i have been going to Seah Im Hawker Centre to tailor my pants since secondary school days and basically there are 4 tailors at the corner and my regular is this shop called Aik Lee simply is because of the quality,service and especially the boss knows my standard & what i want in terms of pockets and cutting,

Cheers!

Why the 3 for 99 no good? Workmanship or material?

How much do those tailor shops charge? Any idea? Thanks.

It depends on the fabric, for lower range type usually use polyester material I think.

There's one called Picadilly Tailor at Far East Plaza. Good material and value pricing =) They tailor there is more up to date to fashion so he understands my requests etc.

There is one called Tailors Solito at far east plaza level 2 opposite Monster Time Gallery (02-22) =) I made 3 shirts there each for 60sgd.

at least go for wool blend business pants.

cheap pants collects dusts and lint easily.

I normally tailor my shirts and pants at Personality Man at Peininsula.. Decent guy and makes pretty good recommendation.

Dickson Tailor Suntec

Off topic a bit...does anyone know where Mr. Wong aka Dickson Tailor at Suntec City move to? Formally he was located near / under an escalator at Suntec basement 1. Anyone know?

yeah true. Less than average quality fabric

I suggest going for better material for the comfort as you won't want to wear a uncomfortable pant for like 6-9hrs. Wool blend fabric is good!

Bumping an old thread up.

I have been going to Ai Lee tailor at Seah Im for the past 3-4 years but the last few times I went I have been really disappointed with the results. Always too big/small/cuffs too short. This happens even when I leave him with a shirt/pants that I want replicated. When I hold it up side by side, they are very different but then he will try to weasle his way out of altering them to what I originally asked for. The very last straw came when it still was not done right a second time, I brought it back and got told off for being troublesome. Needless to say, I've given up on this guy.

Anyone has any recommendations on where to go to get shirt/pants done locally? I was going to try the one at Ubi but my friend had a similar experience to what I mentioned above so not going to waste my time trying there. I have an exact template with measurements that fit perfectly already so no need to measure me up (less work for the tailor) - these are from Bangkok so obviously can't go back there.

Lastly anyone had any experience buying your own fabric and bringing to a shop to get them to make a shirt/pants for you?
