Our go-to tailors in Singapore

1st February 2022 by Expat Living 6 Min Read

https://expatliving.sg/tailors-singapore-clothes-alterations-bespoke-suits-custom-dresses/

From job interviews to black-tie events and weddings, there are plenty of special occasions when you need a suit that fits you perfectly. Having one that’s cool and comfortable and in a fabric that feels great can make all the difference. So it’s definitely worth getting at least one bespoke suit made – and maybe some custom shirts to match. And ladies, you can create something new or get alterations done so your clothes fit you just right, too. Here are our picks of expert tailors in Singapore to turn to when you want to look your best.

CYC Made to Measure – bespoke tailors in Singapore

If the central location at Capitol Singapore doesn’t get your attention, CYC’s bespoke suits for both men and women will! This homegrown label has served the likes of the late Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew, making it the granddaddy of all bespoke tailors in Singapore.

Last year, the brand’s tailor-made masks caught the nation’s eye; this year, it’s all about smart-casual ready-to-wear apparel for those WFH moments. Housed under their ready-to-wear line “1935” by CYC, the menswear essentials are made from comfortable fabrics and designed to hit that sweet spot between casual and formal.

If it’s a tailor-made suit à la The Godfather you’re after, however, CYC has got you covered. The team has recently upped its game by expanding their suiting fabric range with new bunches from renowned brands – Alfred Brown, Cacciopoli, Loro Piana and Scabal, among others. Add to that years of craftsmanship and clothes made to your exact measurements and preferences, and you’re guaranteed to get an outfit you’ll love.

Prices start from $109 for a tailored shirt, with a lead time of about 2 weeks and $920 for a two-piece suit, with a lead time of about 4 to 5 weeks. A three-piece suit is priced from $1,200. In a hurry? Opt for the two-day express service (starting from an additional $15). Their e-tailoring service is up and running too, so be sure to check out the website.

Meiko Tailor – suits and clothes for men and women

One of the few traditional bespoke tailors in Singapore, Meiko Tailor still constructs suits the ‘Savile Row’ way: fully canvassed and handcrafted. There’s plenty of care and artistry that goes into each suit – founder Mr Chung has been honing his tailoring craft for over 50 years, and is still the only draftsman and cutter behind every custom-made suit and trousers.

Now 73, he is working to hand over the reins – his golden scissors – to his daughter Adele. Together, the duo will be fusing traditional methods with modern sensibilities to come up with a bespoke suit made from luxurious wool; from cashmere to merino wool from premium mills like Loro Piana, Ermenegildo Zegna, Holland & Sherry, and Standeven. More affordable fabrics from Italian or English mills are also available, including shirting fabrics from Alumo, Liberty London, Thomas Mason, and Tessitura Monti.

For the ladies, if you’re looking for a tailored power suit or a modern qipao, the atelier also offers ladies’ bespoke apparel and handmade jewellery from Baroqco.

To get a glimpse of Master Tailor Chung in action, drop by the main atelier at Pan Pacific Singapore. For added convenience, the pair are happy to do house calls or pop into your office every Friday (11am to 3pm). Prior appointment required.

Made Suits – custom shirts and jeans too!

Torn between comfort or polish? Well, those days might just be over, signor. You can now have the best of both, thanks to this label’s approach to “soft tailoring”. This means classic tailor-made suits are being updated with wider Italian-inspired lapels and little to no padding.

A fairly new entrant into the world of bespoke, Made Suits was founded by a couple of mavericks, Benjamin Tay and Kelvin R, in 2017. Their recent collaboration with one of China’s most celebrated tailors, Clarance Wong, as well as Japan’s Kirin tailors shows how serious they are about the art of tailoring – for the times.

The result? Chic and comfortable pairings, cut from the finest Italian and English fabrics. But wait: apart from tailor-made suits and bespoke jeans (yes, that’s right, jeans!), the label also specialises in one-piece collar shirts, also known as “Cooper Collars”, after famous 1950s Hollywood icon Gary Cooper.

There are other unique designs from these tailors in Singapore too – gurkha trousers, safari jackets, unstructured jackets and overcoats so you can dress up (or down!) as you please.

Roy’s Tailors in Singapore – he’ll visit you at work or home

For those of you who’ve been a fan of Roy’s Master Tailoring in Holland Village, you’ll be pleased to know he’s now a “tailor on the move”! In the 33 years he’s been in business, Roy has always travelled globally for clients, but with that not being an option right now, he’s decided just to operate the same way within Singapore and visit his clients instead.

Roy's Tailors in Singapore
With so many of us working from home, won’t it be great to have someone come to us for fittings or alterations? Just think: you can get your suit pants and shirts taken in from all the weight you’ve lost! Or, if you’ve munched your way through the past year, it might be time to get a new tuxedo or tailored shirt or suit made. Roy can bring swatches of fabrics to show you – just let him know your preferred colours.

Roy’s menswear offerings include formal and casual shirts, and trousers too. For the ladies, it includes dresses, blouses, skirts and slacks. So, get an idea of what you want made, and gather all your alterations ready for him to fit you. Then, book an appointment online and let Roy sort it all out. We think it’s a brilliant idea!
