Hi guys,

I'm looking to make a new suits tuxedo or three-piece in Hong Kong.

Do you have any recommendation of good tailors that does British style (Structured) of suits ? Something inspired by huntsman ?

I see most of the tailor house seems to be doing italian sloppy shoulder which I'm not a fan of.

Thanks guys,

MC

WW Chan doesn't specialize in that sort of style, but they're very flexible. Have you asked them?

It seems to be that WW Chan is specialise in Italian type of suits, hence the question..

I think that's just because that's what consumers want. I believe they have a pretty flexible range of styles. I vaguely remember them making a more structured shoulder back in the day and then everyone just asked them to do softer coats.

I see. Any other recommendations ?
I'd like to have 5 shops with different range of prices as WW Chan is the most expensive.

W.W. Chan is flexible, and they used to make a lot of structured stuff in the past, they post quite a lot of Italian type of suit probably just because more and more ppl request this kind of garment.

They are still doing great on the classic British style stuff.
