Our name ŠAKAL (:Sha-kal) derives from the Croatian word ‘Jackal’. The brand name is a creation of hidden word play from the first letters of both the founder names.
ŠAKAL draws inspiration from the timeless silhouettes and distinguished fabrics of 1920s–1940s Britain, reimagined with a modern, contemporary edge.
We craft everything from refined formal tailoring to relaxed workwear, offering bespoke pieces for both men and women. Our work takes place in a humble attic studio tucked above a shophouse along the vibrant streets of Haji Lane, Singapore.

The Milanese buttonhole is a mark of quiet luxury, reserved for the lapel’s boutonnière. Crafted entirely by hand, a silk thread is wound meticulously over a hidden gimp cord, creating a raised and lustrous edge. It is not simply a fastening, but a showcase of the tailor’s dexterity—an ornamental detail that reflects patience, precision, and mastery.
A surgeon cuff, or working buttonhole, is the sign of a true bespoke jacket. Unlike decorative buttons sewn shut, these cuffs can be unbuttoned, a detail once valued by military surgeons who needed to roll up their sleeves. Today, it stands as proof that the sleeve was cut and finished to the client’s exact length—a detail that quietly asserts authenticity.
The lapel roll is the natural curve that forms as the lapel descends from collar to button stance. Achieved through expert pressing and the shaping of a hand-padded canvas, it embodies the “life” of the jacket. Unlike flat, machine-pressed lapels, a gentle roll conveys depth, softness, and an elegance that can only come from artisanal work.
Pick stitching is the fine, hand-sewn detail that runs along the edges of lapels and seams. Originally functional—securing layers of cloth—it has become a subtle hallmark of craftsmanship. Slightly irregular in its rhythm, it distinguishes hand-finished garments from machine-made counterparts, offering texture that whispers rather than shouts.
The barchetta pocket, literally “little boat” in Italian, arcs upward with a graceful curve, echoing the hull of a boat. This breast pocket shape softens the line of the chest and introduces an element of visual movement. A small flourish of Neapolitan tailoring tradition, it reflects the balance of practicality and artistry in bespoke design.
