Tailor recommendation in HK

[p.stick]

Hi all,

I will be going to HK this summer. I hope to find a nice tailor for a well fitted suit and many a couple of shirts. Does anyone here have any experiences with HK tailors? Any recommendations? Anything that I need to watch out for?

My budget is quite flexible, I'm willing to pay anything upto 800-1000 USD, but the cheaper the better. I heard you could get a decent suit for under 300. Could anyone direct me to some specific shops?

Thanks!

You may want to do a search; there's lots of material on the topic.

Remember you get what you pay for. What kind of cloth are you going to get with a $300 suit?

Alot of the Indian tailors wil do suits for $300 and most of them are along the Nathan Road and its side streets.

If you can get fabrics then you are better off at a tailor that does CMT.

While I'd love to be proven wrong, I can't imagine a high quality long lasting suit being made anywhere for $300. I think your best best it to go to Peter Lee who charges around $650+ for a suit depending on the fabric and styling details you choose. Feel free to read my past reports below. Keep in mind you'll want the better part in HK of a week to get things made.

Spend a little extra. Why bother with the second-rate? W.W. Chan will make you a really fine suit for $1,170 from VBC 110.
