Add a layer







Layering is a good way to show versatility to your outfit, pairing a v-neck sweater or a cardigan will add character to your look instead of being the regular guy next door. Opt for lightweight, thinner, cotton materials and wear them during cold weather or in air conditioned areas in warm countries like Malaysia. If you’re going to own just one sweater, make it a charcoal gray or navy blue; they go perfectly with a suit and with jeans.

Granoff suit

Remember the suiting material we got weeks back? We've selected Granoff to create the suit for us, the creative director for the brand, Mr. Mansor Tun Abd Aziz, is the brains behind their designs and just had so much of knowledge to share and it's such a joy to meet him every single time.

The experience of getting a suit with Mr. Mansor is just great, as he is the type of person which is into every meticulous detail and he's just pouring out with ideas. He does not rush his customers with the process and spends ample time discussing with them to get everything just right. We really appreciate someone with this sort of attitude as you have to keep in mind that when you're getting a a custom made suit, it means that it is supposed to be your own personal suit, not just because it is measured according to your body, but personal in terms of the suit's detailing as well.

Check out Granoff's website at http://www.granoff.ba/

Here's the specifications of the suit:
# Two-button jacket with peak lapel.
# Double-vented back and five-button detail at cuffs.
# Flap welt slant pockets at the jacket waist, single chest welt pocket.
# Flat-front pant with extended button tab.

The pictures below was from the first fitting for the jacket (pants was not ready yet); few adjustments are to be made, there was a little excess material at the back of the neck which will be adjusted, the material at the back body will be let loose a bit for extra comfort, and the button stance will be lowered.
