Be it commissioning a bespoke, or buying a ready-to-wear in Jakarta can be quite challenging at first. Especially for those who arenew, questions like: what brand to pick, what color to get, and will it worth the price will surely linger.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll go ahead and assume boldly that most of us (me included) starts as conservative in fabric and design when it comes to suit and blazers. For us Indonesian, it\u2019s almost always padded shoulders with the color selections of black, navy or grey, with an occasional pinstripe or windowpane for those who are \u201cbold\u201d enough.<\/p>\n

These days, however, style-conscience people have begun to adopt more diversestyle and those who wish to dress rakishly doesn\u2019t need to look further. And of course, there\u2019s nothing wrong with playing with a little bit of colours.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s our top 3 picks of where to look for dapper menswear in Jakarta.<\/p>\n

Archie (Ready-to-wear) <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Archie is nestled in the heart of South Jakarta (where almost all the good things are). The owner, Michael Wong had his store designed in a manner that is welcoming to all, be it new or aficionado alike. Renowned brand from around the world such as Ring Jacket, Xacus, Drake\u2019s, Carmina, lbm1991 and more were available at his store. I personally found the owner and his assistant are always welcome and always ready to answer any questions with patience. If you don\u2019t have the time for bespoke, shopping at Archie would be your obvious choice.<\/p>\n

Where<\/strong>: Jl. Gunawarman No.30, RT.5\/RW.2, Rw. Bar., Kby. Baru, Kota Jakarta Selatan, Daerah KhususIbukota Jakarta 12110<\/p>\n

Recommended<\/strong>: Pinstripe suit by Ring Jacket, white double-breasted Blazer by lbm1991, red-and-white striped tie by Drake\u2019s, socks by Pantherella, and brown moccasin by Carmina.<\/p>\n

Brillington&Brothers (Made-to-Measure\/Semi-Bespoke)<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Starking good thing about Brillington&Brothers are actually the owners and employees. These are some of the best people that you\u2019d want to be your consultant, especially if you\u2019re new. Since the day the owners – Ronald Makasutji and Audrey Jessica introduces me to the art of soft-tailoring and Napoli-style suits a couple of years back, I found myself hooked for life. Brillington&Brothers delivers what you\u2019d expect from commissioning a made-to-measure; satisfaction.<\/p>\n

Where<\/strong>: Partnering with Archie, you can find them at the same building (address above).<\/p>\n

Recommended:<\/strong> Ditch the all-too-common American and British conservative style that most Indonesian chose. Ask them for the Italian style.Brillington&Brothers offers a wide range of high-quality fabrics such as Cacciopoli, Holland&Sherry, and more. Also, take a look at their beautiful pochette (pocket square) collection; designed in Indonesia, printed in Como, Italy. \u00a0Their \u2018kueku\u2019 pochette should definitely on your list.<\/p>\n
