What to expect - Men's Tailor?

I'm planning 11 days in Georgetown in March 2027 and am considering investing in some tailored menswear.

To help me have realistic expectations in looking for knowledgeable advice.

I've seen recommendations for Rex, Maya and maybe one or two other tailors both here and elsewhere online. Are there any others you'd recommend?

How do I prepare so that the tailor understands what I'm after? I only speak English. Are printed photos or pics on my phone OK? I'm considering a more classic style of pants, high rise with pleats, tapered leg, like gurkha pants.

How long should I expect a garment to take?

Thank you for sharing your wisdom!
