Buying a Suit In China!!

[Billyinthehood]

Ok I just moved to The People's Republic, and I would like to take advantage of that fact and get me a nice, cheap but authentic suit.

So my question or request is that you recommend me to shops or tailors in Shanghai China where I can get some nice stuff but for a relatively cheaper price as compared to the US of course.

Thanks in advance for your help.

WW Chan is arguably the best in Asia.

And I've heard good things about Eddie Chow.

A search will yield more details. Good luck.

WW Chan ... excellent stuff, but not really cheap ... has multiple shops in Shanghai www.wwchan.com P.S.: What do you mean with authentic? Traditional Chinese? In this case Chan would not the right source.

You know, those shapeless and formless mao jackets millions of men and women were wearing back in the day.

Amazing that a clothing style, worn by probably 90% of the population of billion and more, up to the 80s and in a trend started in the 50s, have now gone to the wayside.
