Hi folks,
Recently, I bought a sports jacket from G2000, but the problem was I bought size 46, while my usual size is 44.
The jacket is nice, but since it is 46 I cannot wear it! Whenever I wear it, it's too baggy and I look odd with it. So I bet I have to alter it anyway.
I had once been to tailors at Far East Plaza, with the intention to order new suits for me. But their prices scared me. SGD400 for a business jacket! And that's not even including trousers.
So while I know I should modify the jacket I bought, I want to know which tailor is good for it, any experiences you have and estimate price.
I have size 44 business jackets as well but I might need to alter it too since armholes are a bit bigger than my size and although it fits, drapes are not that nice and it still look a bit bigger on me. I want a jacket that fits my body (not tight fit, I mean well-wraped, fit and comfortable like we see on movies).
Let me know about your experiences with tailoring and altering.

The shop name is "Ming Ming" if I am not wrong. Black colour signboard.
Located at the 2nd floor. Just diagonally of Levi's.
Quality is pretty good (for me). Afterall, it has been around for many years.
Try not to go during the weekends as it is usually very crowded.
Only downside is that the aunties there are quite haughty.
