Every man has fantasies of suiting up like Don Draper or Harvey Specter, conducting a business lunch and, come sundown, savouring a dram of fine whisky. But you won’t get that special fit from an off-the-rack suit. No, you’ll want to head to a bespoke tailor. A good suit is an investment – if you take care of it (and your waistline), it can last 10 to 20 years. Before you visit a tailor, be mindful of three key points: shape, fit and fabric. And be patient. Expect at least 20 measurements to be taken and two to four fittings. It can take up to 50 hours of manual work – which translates to weeks or months before you hang the final product in the wardrobe. But it’ll be worth it, trust us.

So let’s try to contain the revelry in somewhere intimate, say a private dining space so everyone can be happy. Start booking these spots!  RECOMMENDED: The best private home dining experiences in Singapore and the best communal dining restaurants for big groups
