My husband has bespoke suits made here. The timescale goes like this.

1st visit - allow one and a half hours for measurements to be taken.

One week later - go back for the shell to be tried on and any further adjustments made.

Two weeks later (3 weeks from first appointment) collect finished suit. So made in a week? No way.

The second question to ask is do you know what goes into a bespoke suit? Can you recognise when all the elements are there? Rolled lapels rather than stitched and ironed flat? Chest and back pieces? The list goes on. If not you'll be sold rubbish. You make think it looks good but anyone used to bespoke suits will recognise it for what it is - a quick stitch and press job.

Its not the culture to do quick and cheap suits like Bangkok or Phuket...its more traditional and requires a few fittings. Please don't spend RM2000 and a week on a suit.

A part of the the costs go into the Fabrics. Good fabrics from italy will probably cost the same everywhere, so the part that will cost less is the workmanship, and the markups.

A week is really a bit short to end up with a nice suit.

FYI, my own suit, with italian fabrics (lower range that Cerruti) costs about RM4k and took a month to do with 2 in between fittings.

One week wont allow you to have the required 2 to 3 fittings to get is nicely made to fit you.

Bespoke is only available at very high end tailors.

The common ones don't do this based on my knowledge. Still they look great. Most of us get this custom made and happy with results.

I can vouch for Vincent Tailor in Amcorp Mall. I've been going there every year to do my suits, shirts and trousers. The price reflects the quality.

I've done my attire in Bangkok and Phuket before. True they can turnaround overnight or 2 days but there were always shortcomings. I rather pay more and wait longer for quality.
