@PekingRoadHK,

Just wondering if you have the contacts of Mao sifu and Cao sifu; I'm trying to get a hold of them (was trying to PM you but failed)... or are they even active anymore?

@Warrant_Buffet

due to coronavirus, travelling between HK and Shenzhen is not easy.
Mao sifu's partner who takes care of high grade suit making is now working in their Shenzhen workshop. Cao sifu is now working in Shenzhen. Both sifu are not available for the moment. Not sure when they will come back.

My blog shows 2 hk sifu who used to work for very expensive bespoke in IFC. They were in house cutters for the bespoke in IFC. Both are now working in Mirador. One of them said he always makes suits for over HK$100k / HK$150k (IFC price). will check if he wants to make Safari Jacket.

they have a bottom line, they don't disclose this info to the public. when consumers talk to them in person, they tell their customers.

you made a post in the same page 63, and you didn't see #934 about the blog?

Are there any significant differences in terms of quality between the most famous leather garment workshops (e.g.富箂皮樓工場/Kam Ma Leather Garments Workshop/馬可皮樓工場 workshop)?

differences:
1) price
2) materials used (zippers, lining)
3) cutting
4) details Vs basic

I visited Wong SY sifu today to order a few trousers. I gave a look at a few of the jackets there, see pics attached.

The ones I gave a closer look at, had a style close to "neapolitan" I'd say, with very light construction, unpadded shoulders, etc.

Hi Chri.89. That looks very good. Did you by any chance get to look at it in more detail? Half lining?

Very nice brown jacket from Master Wong

@Petey I am sure Master Wong can go with full, half or self lining.

I went to his workshop 2-3 weeks ago and saw quite a wide range of garments, have a look at his workshop and you should know more about his ability.
