Would any of you guys have recommendations for getting a shirt done? About what price should I be paying and what kind of fabrics should I be looking at? Thanks in advance

My first MTM band collar shirt HK$300 (US$38.5) from Sun May Shirt in Sheung Wan. Loose fit - it's comfortable for me.

Good morning, Mr Fishball.

Yeung Sifu told me that the Wanchai building is bought out by a developer and is to be demolished. I went to his home-workshop in Hilier Street, the same building as the Snake Master Lam.

In the first photo, behind me is Yeung Sifu's sewing machine. But I believe he does outsource part of the work to others.

I did read where the fabric houses names are given but after calling, I was told they dont house Thomas Mason. Seems all just deal in suit fabrics

Hi.
On the blog use "find" function of your browser and type "Thomas Mason". There is a name, address and telephone number.

Hi, sorry for the trivial questions. Where exactly is the "blog" you are referring to. I see on the first page is quite a long informative post about CMT and all related stuff and a mention of some fabric houses, however as I said those ones don't source Thomas Mason. Will appreciate your kind assistance here. Thanks

Hi. I do not mean to be nasty, but it looks to me you actually did not read the first post of this thread.
Bold type is not by me but by the original poster. It says if you google "suitcmt hk", the search engine will show the blog.

"directly.

Google search : " Tailors (BaoTou) in Mirador for CMT suit HK. " or " suitcmt hk ", and you are there!

Coming for my next few posts:"

Hi. No problem. The blog is worth reading (or taking a look) to vaguely remember what kind of info it contains.
Hi was going over the blog, the G translate sucks. Not too sure but I do so a list of BouTou for Shirt stitching. Is that in any order of ranking and how are the charges like, not too sure is it per shirt or for fabric. Sorry I do not read chinese hence it does not seem very clear
