    Coat Tailoring

    Hey all, Just wanted to ask because I'm in the market for a new overcoat - and I am thinking of going the tailored route (I live in Hong Kong so it's readily accessible). How does the amount of workmanship in an overcoat compare to that of a suit? I'm asking because I've been comparing the...

    HK tailors

    One thing I wanted to get your opinion on though - I've been getting quite a lot of stuff made by Hong Kong tailors - Y William Yu and Baroman, and when I compare the interior structure and canvassing of the suits, they seem to be extremely thin, especially when compared with offerings from the...

    HK tailors

    I'm a little late, but thank you Svenn for the advice!

    Please critique new velvet jacket!

    I'm pretty happy with the cost. It cost 6900 HKD, USD 890. Fully canvassed, fully lined, and with Holland and Sherry Cotton/Modal velvet. I was shocked by the price because when I went around to other tailors (like the less well regarded Tai Pan Row), they quoted me USD 1900 for a jacket made of...

    Please critique new velvet jacket!

    PM'ed! Also, is it actually possible to lower button stance?

    Please critique new velvet jacket!

    Thanks for the feedback guys! Though it seems like the ticket pocket and the hacking pockets are not getting much love here! The jacket was made by Y William Yu in Hong Kong. As I said, for a first try, I am very pleased with the work and will definitely be heading back. It also helps that the...

    Please critique new velvet jacket!

    Yeah, these are my thoughts exactly. The jacket was made by Y William Yu in Hong Kong, and overall, I'm very pleased with it, especially as it is the first attempt. From what I have read on SF, first tries are seldom perfect! I tried wearing higher trousers...

    Please critique new velvet jacket!

    Thanks Hugh and Mario! Yes, I did get the feeling it was a bit short. Do you think it's because the jacket length itself is short or (as I thought), the button stance is a tad too high? G

    Please critique new velvet jacket!

    Hi guys, first time doing a please critique my jacket. I just got this jacket and would really appreciate any feedback! Close-up: https://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/483004_10151071081212354_942433214_n.jpg Afar unbuttoned...

    Holland & Sherry Velvet

    Hi, thanks for the advice! Could you elaborate on why it is the best? Would 100% cotton velvet drape better or would the modal allwo the fabric to drape better?

    Holland & Sherry Velvet

    Hi guys, I'm getting a green velvet jacket made in Hong Kong (Single breasted, ticket pocket, A&S style), and I'm just beginning to realize how complicated velvet is. The tailor I'm with has in stock Holland and Sherry's 79% cotton, 21% modal velvet. However, I just went on the H&S website and...

    HK tailors

    Thanks for the responses. The reason I felt the compulsion to ask are precisely because there has been such a mixture of views on SF. On the one hand I have seen some refer to Chan's work as "middle-low end SR", others refer to it as comparable, while others (what seems like the more dominant...

    HK tailors

    Hello guys, I've been reading the posts on SF about HK tailors for quite some time now, and one sentiment that has been brought up tangentially is the question of whether HK tailors are worth it or not. The general consensus is that it's not really worth getting a cheap suit in Hong Kong because...

    Princ Charles

    Hi, sorry for reviving a (fairly old) thread, but just wanted to ask what colour the trousers on the Duke of Cornwall is. I know that when you get a midnight blue dinner suit, it's customary to get the trousers in midnight blue. The Duke's trousers look black, so I was wondering if it's...
