Hey guys,

So I'm going to HK for the first time to meet my fiancé family. Since I'm there I would like to get a suit material is flexible and I guess I'll choose it while I'm there but I'm mainly lookin for recommendations on who I should go to. Im looking to roughly spend roughly $500 (obviously material coming into play). Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Considering your budget, I would try Peter Lee at Lee Baron and ask for a half-canvassed suit.

(Ah, and stay away from the "Nice tailor suit for you sir? Copy watch?" type of tourist traps. They might be within your budget but I can guarantee you won't be happy with the end results.)

Did you actually do any research here before you posted this thread?

I'm afraid your approach typifies so many - do nothing to help yourslef, ask dumb question and then disappear. The latter I suppose is a blessing.

Come on - he said 'thank you' for the answers he got here...and at least he did not start a 'black suit'-thread.
