CYC – bespoke suits and alteration services in Singapore
One of Singapore’s foremost bespoke tailors, CYC is a homegrown label that has dressed some of the most stylish men from the little red dot. Case in point? The late former prime minister Lee Kuan Yew. But beyond its prestige and central location at Capitol Singapore, it’s the brand’s reverence for exquisite suits and classic tailoring for men and women alike that allow it to stand the test of time.
The made-to-measure suits, bespoke wedding suits, sports jackets, trousers and shirts are crafted from a carefully selected range of suiting fabrics from renowned brands like Loro Piana, Scabal, Piacenza, Holland & Sherry, Standeven, Vitale Barberis Canonico and more. Meanwhile, shirts are handcrafted with fabrics from the likes of Alumo, Thomas Mason, Carnet and Liberty, ensuring top-of-class quality in every piece. Prices start from $200 for a tailored shirt to $1,700 for a pure wool suit.
Newly unveiled, the brand’s 2024 collection is a celebration of Singapore’s balmy climate. It features two of Loro Piana’s latest suiting fabrics – Proposte Abiti 2024 and Helios. These innovative summer-friendly fabrics redefine corporate attire with a blend of style and comfort. The Proposte Abiti combines wool, silk and linen to create a breathable classic suit for the office or a contemporary blazer for leisure. Meanwhile, Helios features contrasting coloured threads and a unique “reversible” characteristic for a piece that subtly dazzles in the sunlight. For a limited time, enjoy a special 24 percent discount on garments tailored in these fabrics.
Men and women looking for smart casual wardrobe essentials will discover under the “1935 by CYC” ready-to-wear line a range of unisex wrinkle-free t-shirts, smart casual polo tees, casual shirts, and more – all designed to balance the casual and the formal. Head to the flagship store at Capitol Singapore or, if you’re short on time, opt for the express service (starting from an additional $30). CYC’s e-tailoring service is up and running too, so be sure to check out the website.

Ron & Rich – family-run tailoring house and alteration services
After over 40 years in the business, bespoke men’s garments are what Ron & Rich does best. And now, second-generation tailor Aaron is leading the Singapore-based brand forward with a fresh perspective after taking over the family business from his dad, the founder and master tailor, five years ago.
Having grown up around the shop, Aaron says he is passionate about marrying classic tailoring with modern-day sensibilities. Just take its latest collection of safari prints, the first of many collaborations with talented local designer Studio Qiling. It marks an expansion for the brand into bold colours and patterns. The fabric, made in Italy, offers a soft touch and excellent breathability – perfect for Singapore’s tropical climate. Additionally, Ron & Rich recently introduced an organic linen collection in 11 vibrant colours. This linen is breathable yet also substantial enough to drape beautifully for a relaxed, casual fit.
Aaron suggests that lighter-toned linens like its Shell or Aquamarine would work perfectly with linen shorts for a laid-back beach day or a casual Sunday brunch. For evenings, Aaron recommends darker shades such as Forest Green and Dark Navy. Accessories like a good pair of sunglasses and a Panama hat cap off the look.
Another focus at Ron & Rich is a commitment to research and innovation. All products are crafted by a skilled in-house team, which draws inspiration from classic menswear as well as streetwear for the brand’s unique house styles. The result is tailored contemporary designs with a dash of personality.
