Latest Ascot Chang Experiences

[fatpauljackson]

Hi all - I'm now in a professional position to spend 3 months of the year in Hong Kong. I was looking to get some shirts made and wanted to get some latest opinions on Ascot Chang. I did a search and while there was decent info, not sure how current it was.

How have people's recent HK commissions gone? As I understand it, the original Pennisula hotel location is gone and there's just the Kowloon one and the Landmark one. Which location might have the better measurers / fitters? Which has the better cutters? I've been told the cutter isn't doing the fitting. @dieworkwear I saw in an old thread you mentioned Nelson Chin is who you want fitting you... do you know if he is doing this in HK as well and not just the overseas trunk shows? Is Ascot Chang able to accommdate sloped shoulders and forward shoulders well?

Also any quality comparisons between Ascot Chang and those I've used in London would be great (Turnbull and Asser, Stephen Lachter, Hidalgo Brothers). Or traveling Italian tailors (D'Avino, Luca Avitabile) to London.

Thanks in advance!
