Wedding Blog

They’re so lucky. We girls spend hours upon hours in the search for our wedding gown. We wrestle with the seemingly endless choices of cut and fabric and length and shade of white and on and on and on. And then once we find The Perfect Dress, we have to fork over an obscene amount of money for a garment we will wear once. For about 6 hours. Yup. Boys are way lucky. Rented, off the rack, or bespoke, a good suit is a thing of beauty that will last for, well, a while. It can be worn again and again on any number of occasions.

Now, Mongolia was hard on good suits. I mean really hard. All that dirt and ice and coal dust just reduced all Mr. Donut’s suits to mere threadbare shadows of their former selves that no amount of dry cleaning was going to cure. He needed serious wardrobe reconstruction, stat! One of the advantages of living in Singapore was that there were a plethora of good tailors, so getting a really nice handmade suit at a great price was pretty easy. Jack Custom Tailors in Far East Plaza came highly recommended, and so way back in September we stopped by and ordered what was to be the first of many bespoke suits for Mr. Donut. He’s absolutely besotted with them.

Jack’s is an absolute must for local and visiting masters of the universe both business and political. He’s made suits for everyone from princes to presidential candidates. The best part? Jack does amazing work and his prices start totally reasonably.

All in all Mr. Donut went home with 12 handmade shirts and 6 suits - 5 suits for work and 1 very special super nice suit for special occasions like getting married.

Is your groom having a suit custom made?
