The Shirt Bar Unveils Its Flagship Boutique at Iconic Fashion Destination Suria KLCC

Of course, this isn't Loro Piana, Polo Ralph Lauren or Brooks Brothers, it is Singapore brand The Shirt Bar, and they have spread their wings into KLCC - not Malaysia as they already have a presence inside Seibu, TRX Mall. Anyway, in conjunction with their opening at Suria KLCC, The Shirt Bar launches limited-edition, customisable, sustainable caps and oversized t-shirts, available exclusively at, where else, Suria KLCC -  Lot 208, Level 2, Suria KLCC,

The boutique’s standout feature is its hidden fitting rooms, which add a playful twist, inviting guests to discover secret entrances. Of course, if you 're in a rush, their staff will point you to them I assume, and in conjunction of the opening, The Shirt Bar is launching a limited-edition personalised collection featuring sustainable caps, crafted from recycled plastic bottles, and oversized T-shirts made from ultra- soft organic and premium Pima (supima) cotton. Available exclusively at Suria KLCC, these pieces can be customised with The Shirt Bar’s Snap Patch - a range of velcro patches featuring initials, affirmations, and minimalist emblems - to create a unique fashion statement.



Now the garments from The Shirt Bar seem to be what I would consider to be as beginner level menswear - Maybe on the same level as if you bought from Debenhams (R,I.P) or MetroJaya or from the base Marks and Spencers menswear stuff.. From their website, you do see supima cotton tee-shirts, but the majority is cotton spandex (cotton with syntethic stretch poly) tencel, a cellulose based material like rayon and viscose with an emphasis on sustainability - which is good. So you get the usual mix between sportier modern materials and some natural based ones. The same goes to their jackets and trousers so choose properly as I personally prefer natural fibres over man made these days . 

These are made to be sold to the mass market. But I do like the fact that they sell other menswear accessories like pocket squares, tie pins, ties, collar stays and other haberdashery items in one spot. Most likely at a reasonable price compared to some luxury brands out there. So if you want a starter kit, things cannot be so bad - unless you do not alter their jacket sleeves, and trousers and they look like you've borrowed them from someone taller than you.

In fact, this reminds me of the local brand called Cuffz, which usually did dress shirts to complement their accessories, namely cufflinks and pins. Of course, I think since the pandemic, they've scaled down so much till their presence is now limited. 

So there you go, another menwear focused store has opened up in Kuala Lumpur. If you're just starting off in life, this could be a good place to get work clothes or that supima tee-shirt (which I suggest over all the tencel, cotton stretch stuff they also sell.


The OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE is below.
