I want to get this thread up to share my experience with Chan without Patrick in Hong Kong. (I note a lot of members question Chan's service in Hong Kong without Patrick) Furthermore, some members want to know how long do they have to be in Hong Kong to get a suit fitted.
Time: I was in HK for 4 days and had 2 fittings.
Day 1 Morning: Fabric selection etc. (chan opens at 9 30)
Day 3 Morning: First Fitting
Day 4 Afternoon: Second Fitting
Day 1.
I am 1.75m/155 lbs and usually wear 38. Connie (Chan's Sales Rep) was very helpful in terms of fabric selection. Unfortunately, a lot of the books were missing (Patrick took them to the US tour)...Nevertheless, since I just wanted plain Charcoal, they were able to provide plenty of choices.
I settled on:
3-piece (jacket + waistcoat)
Charcoal H&S 120 fabric
3.25" notch Label
Single Breasted 2 button
Double Vented
no rope, high arm hole, v.light padding
Blue lining
func. 4 sleeve buttons.
6 buttons vest, 6th button unfasten-able. (no Label)
1st Fitting:
I was surprised by how accurate the measurements were in my first fitting. Only some minor adjustments were required (about 1/4 to 1/2 inches). Overall I was pretty happy with it and the 3-pieces were already 80-90% to my satisfaction.
2nd Fitting:
I showed up for my appointment and the gentlemen at chan had my suit ready for me to try on. Some minor adjustments on the waist (increase waist suppression a little bit). See picture
I will post the finish product once I receive it (in the post).
