Manning Company in Hong Kong?

[Slewfoot]

Hello,

I've been reading some very informative posts regarding Hong Kong tailors as there's a chance I might be visiting in the upcoming months. I was wondering, does anyone have experience with Manning Company on Austin Road? There are not many reviews online. On their website (www.manningcompany.com) they mention they deal with fabrics such as Holland & Sherry, Dormeuil and Scabal. Prices seem very reasonable with three suits being $1899 USD - let's hope that's not an outdated price! How would they compare with suits from say WW Chan and Janzten?

Also, if anyone has any specific recommendations for a tailor in Hong Kong I'm happy to hear. My tastes run toward a more traditional English style suit that is quite fitted as I'm tall and thin - 6"1', 165 lbs - but not particularly athletic. I have some bespoke clothing, but am also looking for an expert tailor who can help guide me and make suggestions for the perfect fit to make the suit really shine. I saw some photos of suits from 'whoopee' (http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=15359) and those looked particularly nice and of course were from the WW Chan and A-Man. I have a preference for the Chan because of the way the small of the back is smoothly suppressed. Any information is much appreciated. Thanks.

Best,
David

I'd suggest you look into what Gordon Yao could offer.

Thanks misterjase. I'll look into Yao as well. I'm a bit reluctant to spend $1000 USD on a suit over there as I've found a suitable NY bespoke tailor for $1200 USD. But perhaps Chan or Yao would have that additional fine touch. I'm wondering if Manning Company is somewhat of a diamond in the rough or if their quality is not nearly up to the top level.

Best,
David

Hey, I have visited Manning Company quite a few times and their collection of bespoke suits really astonishes me. Custom Made Suits in Hong Kong are best available there. Wearing a suit that fulfills all your requirements boasts your confidence and makes you look extremely charming and fashionable. I ensure this company will prepare your suit by taking care of all your needs and make you look the best.

Have you been to any other tailors? How will you ensure that this company will take care of all our needs? Unless you are somehow related to it???

Seems a pretty clear case of astroturfing.
