The Hong Kong BaoTou Tailors and Fabric Shops for CMT Thread
Shangara, I agree with your observation regards to the rent and labour of a retail tailor shop. There is no right/wrong which one you use, I guess it depends on your personal experiences, the finished product and how often you wear the product. If you like the particular experience, stick with...- kwoknero

The Hong Kong BaoTou Tailors and Fabric Shops for CMT Thread
I think people make the issue more complicated than it needs to be. When a customer goes to a tailor shop, a certain expectation is expected from the finished product. If the expectation is not met, then tailor shop, in theory, should do all it can to resolve the issue. However, Hong Kong...- kwoknero

The Hong Kong Tailors Thread
I am stating what happened for last 15 pages or so of this thread. How is that repeating? You think tailor sales promoting their tailor shops. I disagree with you, that's all.- kwoknero

The Hong Kong Tailors Thread
Well, so far you are the one actively share your baotou info. I haven't see anyone share their tailor shop for awhile now. The last 15 pages or so are between people agree/disagree about baotou. Both sides are repeating same thing again and again.- kwoknero

For the tailor shop to charge 2x or 3x prices difference between them and baotou is a business decision. Frankly, it is none of our business. We as a consumer has a choice whether you agree to their prices or not. Yes, great, no, find another one.- kwoknero

The Hong Kong Tailors Thread
So when did I say it is okay for tailor people to bash baotou, and it is not okay for batou to bash tailor? Again, all I said you gave consumer an alternative method to get their "bespoke" suit. That's great, let's the consumer to choose. But I don't see any benefit constantly remind people to...- kwoknero

Hmm.... The thread original intentions is a collection of various tailors shops in Hong Kong. Whether there are various sales actively promote their tailor's shops or not? I don't see it, all I see various people posting their pre/mid/finish products with their tailors. PekingRoad you came in...- kwoknero

This is getting no where, can we have proper discussion on Hong Kong tailors (baotou included) strength/weakness? How individual tailors "house cut" different than each other and how they are able to evolve to stay ahead of business?- kwoknero

The Hong Kong Tailors Thread
Maybe I am naive, I don't think this got anything to do with sales or no sales, promotion or not. Ultimately, if I am going on this thread to look for suit suggestion/tailors/baotou/style. I can only go with people's suggestion and finish products. Unfortunately, baotou's finish products are...- kwoknero

The Hong Kong Tailors Thread
I don't think this is going anywhere. Yes, a consumer should have the choice to choose whoever works for them. Whether it is a tailor shop or a baotou. However, there is a certain craftsmanship and customer services to be expected when going for a bespoke suit. Sure, tailor shops charge more...- kwoknero

Finding a tailor/Baotou that you like and can work with is difficult already, let alone 3-4 different Baotou. I work with a retire but still working tailor in my area, whenever I stop by his shop and give him a piece of cloth. He already know my preferences and details, but he still measure me...- kwoknero

Huh??? I thought we are discussing tailor shop and their works? Again, consumers use Baotou or Tailor shops are their personal choice.

The Hong Kong Tailors Thread
I concur with Isolation regards to Harrison Burley's Flannel items, I got Arthur Harrison and Dormeuil 10,000 Flannel and I liked them both a lot. As Hardy Minnis, I like their new design on Tweed and Flannels, but they tend to be on the expensive side.- kwoknero

The Hong Kong Tailors Thread
Well, Tailor Shops need to cover the rents of their shop. Hong Kong rental is ridiculous. Again, Baotou might be a good option, however, not every customers are savvy enough. Browsing online or reading books/magazines might give some knowledge. However, it doesn't mean you know all of the...- kwoknero

My Shoes for Winter in Hong Kong: Please help me.
As you venture out for more different brand/size of shoes, you do need to visit shop for fitting purposes, examine the overall style. You can only see so much from a photo online. I got lucky because I can get Free Shipping and Free Return, other time, not so much. People still need to make a...- kwoknero

My Shoes for Winter in Hong Kong: Please help me.
Without looking at the pictures of your suit/sportscoat, it is hard for me to recommend anything regards to shoe. For your black dinner jacket, it is safe to say to get yourself a pair of black shoe. Again, a simple black/brown oxford should allow you to wear with any...- kwoknero

My Shoes for Winter in Hong Kong: Please help me.
If you only wear suit in Winter Time in Hong Kong, then getting lightweight/mid-weight Flannel (10-14oz) should be fine. Little padding might work well on you, it doesn't work well on me, so you need to work with Gordon Yao on that part. I live in the East Coast of USA, I prefer 15-18oz of...- kwoknero
