Ok, but they are not tailors and also the suit is fused, as far as I know. I wish you luck.

Y William Yu wanted HKD5,000 for the suit, HKD1,300 for a vest.

Gordon Yao wants HKD7,500 for the suit, HKD 2,200 for a vest.

All were very nice and accommodating. I'm surprised that Peter's prices have gone up so much.....

But what about the fabrics?
These prices are the lowest he does for his standard fabric (whatever that may be)?

Or you provide the fabric?

Cmt = bring your own cloth. Figure 200 usd or more with cloth included

Yes, serious, they are "designer" as I know, but not fashion designer, so I really wish you luck.
I think the suit will be half fused half canvassed at best in this price.

Interesting, I don't know Gordon price go up that much. He charged me just 3,700 for a CMT jacket last year!

I will go to find out by myself on Sat.

Has anyone got any experience of having a coat tailored in HK?

Thank you, that would be appreciated if you could keep us posted because I am interested to know this information as well.

I'm interested as well, I emailed Gordon before the new year and his price was in the 5000 range. I'm secretly hoping the 7500 quote included cloth.

Can you also ask him his prices for CMT on SC and suits.

Those are what we have been discussing all along. That said, looking forward to getting more info as well.

Hmm... I visit Gordon today, and yes, his price is going up especially on CMT. For the new customers, he is enforcing the new price. For the old customers, now is in a "grace period," but it won't last long.
So, sorry guys, have to say this poor news.
