Well, im looking for a good tailor, and dont mind spending circa $500 if its good quality. BUt if i can get a decent premade one i'll be happy! My body is an odd shape (a bit of bait for Mike i think...) so the premade ones here never seem to fit. If anyone can recommend a tailors for premade or to order items it would be great, then i can pop over to them in a taxi when in MM!

Cheers guys
 
Scuba_Si,
I did inquire about a custom tailored suit in Manila and from what I've heard, King Philip is a good one. I think their labor is $150 and then it all depends on the material you want to use. I'm sure the local pasaways can give you more details on this.

i need a girlfriend!:D


Well, obviously Iris didn't want to move to Toronto or DC.... but i hear she would love to move to England... :D
 
just had four Suits made a few weeks ago with my tailor for over ten years !!!!!

around Php7,000.00 a suit for a jacket and pants. three to four days..... they got some sheets there. but if you would like Wool, or English Wool, you'd have to bring your own.

at VMall, GreenHills Shopping Center.

subzero is absolutely correct. i have a tailor in King Phillip who has been my dads tailor for over two decades. i use him for all my suits. he will custom fit a suit that is appropriate for your body type. labor will be around $100 and the end cost of your suit will end up being around $250-400. plus the shop is located along the central business district of metro manila.
