    The Hong Kong BaoTou Tailors and Fabric Shops for CMT Thread

    How long is Ng Sifu taking these days to make a suit? I appreciate you're at the 1st fitting, but has he given you any estimates?

    Does Charles make a sample shirt first, or is it straight to the finished product? It's definitely bespoke, as opposed to made to measure, right? I see on his website, he says a shirt starts from $250. Is the cost closer to $350 from what you say? And does the price go up depending on the...

    $30 in Sydney? Is this recent, and if so, can you share details of the cobbler? I've asked a few places, and I haven't seen anything less than $45.

    Baxter and Black quoted me $60 or $65, which I thought was steep. Do you know what Kieran's prices are for a topy? I see he operates through people mailing shoes to him, but I'm uncomfortable relying on Australia Post. If the option exists, I prefer to take the shoes to him.

    Does anyone know how much Roger's Shoe Repairs charges for topys, and whether he is still recommended for cobbler services?

    The Hong Kong BaoTou Tailors and Fabric Shops for CMT Thread

    I am aware that no shop will have all fabrics. It was more a general question for English fabrics. That is, do shops only keep sample books and then when I come in and pick the fabric, they order for me? Or do shops keep both the sample books and the fabric stock such that it is likely I can...

    The Hong Kong BaoTou Tailors and Fabric Shops for CMT Thread

    For those of you who purchase English fabrics like Holland & Sherry, Dormeuil and Scabal from fabric stores, do the stores usually have the fabrics or will the stores need to order them from elsewhere? Am trying to work out whether I need to factor in wait times for fabrics to arrive. If you...

    That's helpful to know. Can you tell me more about the timeframes for purchasing the fabric? Do the fabric shops usually have your desired fabric in stock or do they need to order from overseas? I will need to build that in to my estimate on timing.

    What's Wong Sifu's English like? I can converse in basic Cantonese but I don't know what gussets, darts and split yoke etc translate into Cantonese.

    Can you provide how long the sifus take to make your suits, including the time between the measuring and the first sitting, and the first sitting and pickup? I'm looking into a trip to Hong Kong and need to allow enough days. Also, do you get get measured by the sifu, he tells you how much...

    RM Williams Boots - Everything You Wanted to Know

    Do RMW stores allow you to swap different sized boots if I bought one from another retailer that don't fit me? I'm a size 5, but department stores often have sales for size 7 and up. I've heard RMW stores are willing to swap boots until you are correctly fitted no matter where you bought it...

    Has anyone tried Pascalis Bespoke Tailoring in the Sydney conservative business dress? I am looking into getting a bespoke suit (or a higher quality made to measure suit) and do not have the cash for JH Cutler or Bijan - they are $7k to $8k the last time I checked. Also interested in opinions on Adamo Marrone and Sam...

    Well, you had a suit made by Ng Sifu. What was his turnaround time?

    What is Ng Sifu's turnaround time for a suit, both in low and high season? I tried calling him but he wouldn't answer the phone.
