Hi all, its my first post here. I'm a fresh grad. getting quite fashion conscious- and learning a lot by reading past threads.
I had a good experience here, I don't think they're advertised and seem very old school..
President Textiles Co
Level 17 Fu Wai Centre
140 De Voeux Rd, Central, Hong Kong
Phone +852 25420020
They have contracted a Shanghainese tailor- he looks about 65 years old and had 30+ yrs experience in the tailoring business. I asked, and he reportedly does all chalking, cutting and tailoring himself.
Tailoring charges are $1,600 for 1 suit (more for more expensive textiles and vice versa)
They're quite nice, speak cantonese- never tried english. I'm not a hotshot banker and i'm pleased by their friendly attitude wheras others shops would just snub me.
They sell exclusively british textiles including savile row: scabal, h&S, dormuil, wain shiel, broadgraves, fox ..etc etc. they dont' have any of those higher super counts as its 'not durable'.
i had 2 suits done. one brown WS suit, and another very nice holland and sherry cashmere and mink(hope more cashmere and less mink ^^). both were $3000 for a suit length (textile + tailoring)- this shop mainly profits from selling the cloth.
You have to be careful and be exact in your specifications else they'd give you something different. My first jacket fit very well, and the second wasn't as good, had to alter it. Shirts are horrendous.. i might try jantzen. Nothing wrong with construction, but prob. i had poor choice of fabric. I am extremely pleased with President's textile and construction of my two suits, but note that this is my first exp. with bespoke- used to go off the rack.
Anyone else had feedback here?
