Mens Designer Shirts

I need your help. While on holiday in Asia, a tailor approached me on Orchard Street in Singapore. He persuaded me to let him take my measurements should I ever decide that a custom suit was for me. Although skeptical, I let him measure me.

For S$150 (which is something like US$125), he makes and ships to me custom suits. He has the pattern books for some of the high-end designers. I tried out his services on some low cost mens dress shirts and I was very pleased. Now I’m going to order a custom suit, but I’m not sure of what fabrics to order.

Any ideas on what I should say?

1) Textures and stripes? What kind of textures?

2) What kind of material? I hear polyester will make it look cheap. I want it to look very high quality.

Please advise!

I love Italian wool, it is very soft, light, smooth and of the highest quality. dark colors with light or faint pin stripes, thin pin stripes with about one inch between them, offer a slender and taller look. I suggest going to a men’s fine clothier, such as Brook’s Brothers and check out the fabrics and styles. Oh two button jackets only, four buttons are out of style and three buttons are fading fast

Brooks Bros offers three sizing options for their mens dress shirts: traditional, slim, and luxury. I’m a pretty skinny dude, so I don’t want any more “traditional” sized shirts because they look too baggy on me. But I was wondering if the slim fit was too tight looking? I’m only asking because I don’t have the time to go try them on and screw around. If it helps at all, I wear the “custom fit” polo shirts. So if someone who wears those also wear the slim fit dress shirts, that would answer my question.

Thanks.

Luxury is your best bet I’m a girl so I buy the women’s shirts and have found that lux fits better than traditional and is not as tight as slim slim may look too gay.
