Smart casual outfit.

"Observe what your colleagues wear to know the upper and lower limits haha. I would recommend hira ware. Their clothes are really comfy for our climate and not too expensive." 

Anyone sick of sweating through officewear in SG.

"Malaysian snooping here. There's a local brand called hira ware. Specializes in boxier cuts, light and looser weave fabrics. I've been wearing them to the office (I drive though, but do walk out of the office building for lunch) for a few months now, and the sweat always evaporates within 5 minutes of getting back to my desk. Their t-shirts are so thin and light that it feels like a jersey. Worth having a look if you're in KL/PJ area!"

Are there any good menswear recommendations in KL.

"hira ware is pretty good, aaparel is worth a check out as well."

"Omg I love your pants! They literally protected my knees.

After a long day of window shopping with my wife, my legs gave way and I tripped while stepping up from the road onto a kerb.

My body weight added on as momentum as I fell, but surprisingly not a scratch on the pants as my knee kinda dragged on the road. I was amazed for a quick 2-3 seconds before realising there was on coming traffic, and picked myself up and got off the road."

"I recently bought workware relaxed canvas trousers and I am really impressed.

They are incredibly durable and comfortable, with a perfect fit that complements my body style.

It is even more satisfying knowing this level of quality and style comes from a local brand. Excited to see more from your collection and keep supporting a brand that delivers both quality and style."

"I love the designs and want to see more ladies wear them.

I heavily fuck with these, the material feels insanely lightweight. I thought would be heavier and thicker. It is perfect for Singapore despite the humid weather.

The looser cut of these pants also made it sit wonderfully at my waist. As someone with curves, I greatly appreciate how my hip area does not feel restricted.

These pair of pants have become one of my wardrobe staples. Also the hand dyed brown colour is just *chefs kiss*. It looks beautiful paired with my brown boots."

"I am completely smitten with Hira.

I adore every detail you put into each garment. The fabric choices are
fantastic - very comfortable and
breathable.

I am particularly fond of the sw1 linen raglan henley series. It is very versatile in style, casual, laid-back, yet presentable."

"Your top, I wished there is an XXXL. The material is great, light, soft, not itchy (I am fairly sensitive to itchy fabric, me no likey).

But it is slightly figure hugging for me, and my figure is not very pleasing to the eyes.

I am of course on my way to shedding the bulges (I am 120kg and 180cm) but an XXXL option would be cool. It looks and feel good though.

My wife keeps asking,“Kenape awak hari ni extra handsome?”

"What can I say? I am in love.

But seriously the aesthetic, comfort and texture of the sw1, workware pants and henleys are just perfect.

Love to see what else Hira comes up with. Keep creating."

"I received my SW1 in black and I must say it is the best pants I have in my possession right now.

The material is so comfortable and the design is perfect. I have tried some other relaxed pants and I can confirm that SW1 tops them all.

Besides that, your staff are also very helpful as I had to exchange my first pants for a different size, and they did their best to assist me. You have an amazing team and system there."

"Been loving my pieces from you guys. The pants have just the right amount of bagginess, and the shirt fits well without being restrictive. The style and quality are right up my alley.

I believe the local market for well-designed slow-fashion menswear is underserved and hira has great potential in my eyes.

Looking forward to your next collection. I wish you and your team nothing but the best."

"First of all, thank you for taking the initiative to listen feedback from customers, many brands do not do that.

Second, absolutely loved the quality of shirts from hira. What stood out was during my first ever order from hira, the shipment was delayed and as compensation, hira gifted me a cap worth around RM 50.

That was a very reasonable gesture which again, many brands do not do.
Please maintain the top tier customer service and top tier quality of products."

"I have to say that I ordered 2 henleys with a bit of skepticism when I chanced upon it on IG.

Glad to say I was proven wrong. The material is a lovely surprise - soft to the skin and cooling to the touch.

I love the design and I am contemplating getting another soon."
