Started my more “serious” menswear…
Started my more “serious” menswear journey with Collaro back in early 2019 and never looked back. I first visited them because I cane across their Instagram account and felt that they offered the best value in terms of the workmanship and attention to detail for every dollar spent. I remember the first suit I commissioned with Collaro and how it really impressed me. First of all, the entire experience was great. Ethan and Travis were very easy to talk to and understood all my needs and requirements. Secondly, they displayed great attention to detail and could accurately tell what was wrong with my body posture and how my suit can help me look better. They understood that I preferred a “slim tapered silhouette” and tried to help me balance between that and their usual house cut which is usually “fuller”. Thirdly, the jacket was very well done. The overall look was very clean and they nailed the sleeve pitch. No stretch marks seen anywhere on the jacket I put it on. It looked very natural but smart at the same time. Also, there were many details such as a barchetta pocket, bar tacks, shanked buttons, surgeon cuffs, etc. for little to no extra cost. It was, overall, a very good package for the price. Up til today, I still feel happy and impressed whenever I collect my suit, shirt and/or trouser from Collaro. I would say that they have gone more upmarket, offering more premium fabrics and more customisation options (e.g. Spalla camicia) so their prices have adjusted accordingly. But I still think that they offer some of the best value in the menswear/sartorial scene in SG today, and their tailoring service is one of the better ones in SG as well. You will not regret giving these guys a chance!
