    Bonham Strand Tailors - Social Conscious - Anyone Tried?

    I had a two-piece suit made from them and the overall process was a bit frustrating, but for the money, it was far less frustrating than other experiences I've had with tailors and shirtmaker in HK when trying to save money. You really have to know what you want to make sure they deliver a...

    Giorgio Vallino Fabric

    Found this old thread when trying to answer the same question. Here in Hong Kong, this is a popular value brand for tailors to push. After doing extensive research including talking to local tailors, internet scouring, and, ultimately, calling the local 'distributor' of this brand itself, I...

    Best Hong Kong shirt tailor needed

    Just a quick update on my Graly experience. I've now had about half a dozen shirts made by him and referred several friends who ordered many themselves (without so much as a 'thank you for the business from Graly's owner... sigh, HK). I finally got the fit just right on the dress shirt and...

    Best Hong Kong shirt tailor needed

    I just got a first "test" shirt back from Graly shirtmakers in Wan Chai. I had the shirt made up from measurements done by the owner, Tim Tang, in his shop. He had asked me if I had a favorite shirt I wanted them to duplicate, but I said I wanted to do one from measurements, since I have yet...

    Bespoke shoemaker in HK>>!

    Well, I took the advice in this thread and tried out Dophen and I thought I would give this long-dead thread a little lift in hopes that others can benefit from my experience. I found this thread when looking for suggestions of custom (Bespoke or MTO) shoemakers in Hong Kong, and after...

    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III

    Happy 4th to all! This is my first post, and technically it's pretty much 'what are you wearing for about 20 minutes today', but I wanted to put this out there since I just picked up this suit from a tailor here in HK and I plan to add a post to the HK tailors thread on my whole experience so...
