"Hong Kong" Tailors - Page 3

Erdavis, I'd recommend my guy. He's in Central, HK and have been around for a while. I came across them long ago. They come by the US at least twice a year and ask for Mr. Cheung. Ying Tai, Ltd. 9 Queen’s Road Central, Central, Hong Kong

Nonon posted in the Hong Kong Tailor thread of the flyer talk forum. His post is number 158.He claims he went back to Hong Kong to a wedding and lost his luggage. He then posts that he got lucky and found tailor in central.He then names Ying Tai.He said this was a recent event.

I had a poor experience with Mr. Sani as well. If you wish to buy from him buy only with a minimal deposit and 100% satisfaction guarateed or full refund. His literature does not have a money back guarantee.

None of these three are worth patronising> Try Chan, Gordon Yao (who tours with Ascot Chang) William Yu.

I was recently in Hong Kong for a few days and wanted to pick up a couple suits. I didn't really know where to go, but I did a bit of research and decided to give Raja Fashions a try. I went there on a Thursday and they measured me up fairly quickly and proceeded to give me several booklets of cloth to choose from. I decided on a navy and a grey suit. It was my first time getting a bespoke suit made, but have had custom shirts made in the past from Maxwell's. It felt like they didn't take as much care in measuring me as the Maxwell guys...but anyway, after selecting the cloth and deciding on the suits, Raja happened to walk in and we started talking. Raja is an excellent sales man. And I mean this in the sense that he is a smooth talking guy...not sure if he's the type of guy I can completely trust. But anyhow, he talked me into adding a couple more pants to my purchase.

They told me to come back the next day to get re-fitted and to make sure everything was good. When I came back the next day, I noticed Raja's convertible Bentley parked outside...his license plates say "RAJA" on it (I will try to upload the picture I took of it here once I upload the photo to my computer). The 2nd fitting was good, except for the fact that I realized that they didn't really ask me about my preferences on the suit...so it was during this second fitting I asked about the lining, the number of working buttons, the type of pockets etc etc. And it was only after I brought it up, they allowed me to customize.

I asked for 4-working buttons instead of the 2 and selected some interior lining.

A few weeks later, I received my suits in the mail. The suits are quite nice, much nicer than any of the suits I own, but I was disappointed to find that the buttons only had 2 of them working and the lining on one of the jackets was wrong.

I like the cut and the quality of the suit, but I felt that they were more interested in getting quick sales and upselling. I want to get a couple more suits, but I'm hesitant to buy from Raja again due to the small mistakes they made.

I learned it the hard way with Raja. They are salesman 1st and tailors 2nd. They suits are not terrible, but certainly not a bespoke experience. I have been visiting Peter Lee at Lee Baron since then, and you can get full canvas suit for about USD 700. Have yet to try WW Chan and other preferred houses at SF due to my budget.

Raja is probably the 'best' example of the poorest end of the market. He has made his money (and the Rolls Royce demonstrates that) by effective publicity in the Western world and by selling volumes of crap to the hapless and gullible. Everything you say epitomises his way of working - no decent tailor would conduct themselves thus.

Has anyone used a tailor in Shenzen by the name of Adah/Ada?

 

In the main centre i believe, cheaper suits but still holds a high quality...

 

thanks
