Where to find clothes that fit?

[beebop]

So i recently returned to indo after a month in south africa and would like to buy some more clothes. I tried buying in sa but they are going into winter, so everything is winter stock and i couldnt find much. So i decided to buy here in indo. I must say that i am very impressed with the style of clothing here in indo, but its so damn hard to get my size. Back home my shirt size is merely medium, but when i tried a medium sized shirt here i couldnt even get the shirt to pass my elbow. tried the large and still same problem. When we start going extra large, the choices start becoming limited and most of them are still a little tight. And finally XXL which eventually fits is limited to one or two items in the whole shop that i dont like at all. My pants size in sa is 33, but here in indo i can only just squeeze into a size 40 which is also limited to one item in one shop in a whole mall. And then there are the ever so irritating vests that are claimed to be "one size fits all" that exploded when i tried to fit it in store. I love my vests for sleeping in but when my very old vests from yester year are beyond wearable, im gonna have to sleep bare chested. So im wondering how you guys are able to dress yourselves here and is there any solution to this?

Assuming you live in Jakarta...

First option: the outlet stores. There are two in Mall of Indonesia and I've seen quite they stock large sizes. I suppose my asian frame fits their size perfect even when I was my old self and weight. Raja is the name and I read on their list of their other outlets that they have another one somewhere in Jakarta but forgot where. Your other option would be Bogor. They have plenty of outlets along the main street and I believe they have an outlet @ Jagorawi as well.

Option two: local tailor. I believe you can search in this forum to see of which members have gone to local their favorite local tailors who is willing to make you a custom fit clothing for a price but I'm not quite sure at what premium they charge you for or is it going to be a bargain or not.

I hope that helps.

Warm Regards,
