I'm thinking I will probably get a suit from Yao, but I'm wondering if its worth it to get some shirts there as well, or just stick with Chang (and some Jantzen thrown in).
Thanks.

i am not sure if AC does have or not a min order i seem to think he does!

This was several years ago, but in the Beverly Hills AC there was a three shirt minimum.

They have a minimum order of 3 but have gotten away with 2 shirts and at a time 1 shirt. If you are in HK go to the Peninsula shop and ask for Nelson. He's very friendly and accomadating.

fyi. Gordon will be in a number of cities across the U.S. from 2/6/08 to 24/6/08.

His mobile number while in the U.S. is (848) 468-0697 if you want to arrange an appointment.

Got my first Gordon Yao Jacket today. It takes three months to make.
Look great, except the sleeves may be little bit too long (1/8 inch).

Can you please share a pic of your jacket? Thanks

so is Gordon Yao back in HK yet? I just graduated, and am vacationing in HK. might spoil myself with my first ever bespoke suit (of course I should really find a job first...)

Probably. Your best bet is to email him at yaogordon [at] gmail.com. And make sure you keep your priorities straight. Your first bespoke suit before your first job. After all, what are you going to wear to interviews?

Maybe I can get him to give me the unemployed-student discount

It will be the same price as employed

Has anyone posted photos of Gordon Yao's suits? I'm thinking about trying him next month for a basic business suit.

Gordon is good, but slow. Cheaper if you do CMT.

Quite normal in my experience and if you ask him to meet a date - so long as it is sensible he will.
