For Aussies...Sydney or Hong Kong bespoke?

[spectre]

Does anyone have any experience with both? I know Sator is a fan of Adamo Marrone and I understand his suits are priced at around $A2800. Chan I believe would be, for a two piece, around $A1600. Given there's an air fare and five or so days stay in Hong Kong the price would be a tie. But if you get the Chan (or A Man - that class) perfected, subsequent suits could be mailed, leaving the Hong Kong bespoke a lot cheaper.
Any thoughts on the pros and cons of both ideas? Do you believe the work of one is superior to the other, or the cut..whatever?

Hi

Sorry to say this spectre but this is very much down to personal preference.

I believe that once you're up to Chan, you have done well enough. You'll look great, everyone will know it, and you'll have money left over for something else each time - look a nice pair of shoes or a shirt and some ties, for example. So I would choose this option.

Someone like Sator tends to disregard the general population. He is more of a maverick. He buys clothes because he appreciates the splendour of said clothes, more so than the desire to make an impression on a bunch of people who can't tell the difference.

Decide which one you are and go from there.

Sorry if this is a misrepresentation of your attitudes Sator!

I would expect to see more handwork for less cost from a top tailor in Hong Kong than you would from a top tailor in Australia.

IIRC what Patrick told me last January, Chan do not send suits through the mail to Australia, even for somebody whose measurements they already have. You might want to double-check that.
